The downfall of fox news is a perfect example of people believing something that just isn't true. Since fox news came on the air, the belief among the "elite" has been that Fox news brainwashes it's viewers into becoming conservatives. It's the old song of postmodernists.
The belief that narratives can create reality. They believed the same with talk radio. The "theory" goes that if they just remove, censor or take over talk radio and fox news then all those millions of conservatives will magically become non conservatives and good little leftists
The truth of the matter (as we see playing out in real time) is that Fox news and talk radio became popular because they were reaffirming what conservatives believed not creating conservatives. Since Fox news didn't make conservatives they can't change conservatives into leftists
...by becoming a liberal news organization. The conservatives will simply turn the channel and go to other sources of information that is more truthful and align with their deeply held beliefs. This is seen in other areas as well. You don't change Catholics into Marxists by
... picking a marxist as Pope. You can't change capitalists into leftists by placing leftists as CEOs. You can't change football fans into Marxists by having sport stars kneel. The only way you change people's beliefs is to prove to them that those beliefs are false.
This is why leftists must change their name all the time because their system always fails and it's provable that Marxism is a failure. This is why capitalism takes a hit during recessions and depressions. This is why religious believers "have a question of faith" when God doesnt
...answer all prayers in the positive. This is why hypocritical political parties lose support as their promises go unfulfilled for their supporters.

Narratives don't change people's hearts and minds nor reality. Only provable failures and/or successes changes hearts and minds.
Reality can't be changed. It is and always will be the testing ground that human beliefs smash themselves against. Those beliefs that survive the crucible of that battle will grow and those that do not will be placed on the ash heap of history.

If one can prove voter fraud has occurred, is it really needed to prove that it was large enough to change an election? I mean if you are playing a game and you find out the other side cheated are you really going to continue to play the game with them? Or give them the victory?
How would that work? Oh yeah, he cheated and dealt from the bottom of the deck but he only dealt one card and that card probably wasn't the card needed for the inside straight? Or that card probably wasn't the third Ace? This is the danger of voter fraud to representative gov.
Once the people know you cheated they can no longer trust the election outcome because regardless of the size of the cheating they can't be sure that cheating didn't impact the outcome in some meaningful way. Did it get a Dem gov elected in NC? Did it stop a GOP senator in MI

JFK won Illinois by just 8,800 votes, due to margins in Chicago controlled by the Cook County organization.
JFK won Texas, home of his running mate, Lyndon Johnson, by a margin of 46,000.

If Nixon carried both states, he would have won the electoral college, 270 to 252.
Nixon decided not to fight the voter fraud in Chicago.

As far as LBJ he had a history of voter fraud...He lost to it in 1941, learned from the lost and then won with it in 1948. And let's not forget the massive voter fraud done by dems in the deep south. In places like AL that
JFK carried by 80,000 votes. In 1960 the GOP still did well with the black vote, but the dem controlled state governments made it almost impossible for the blacks to vote with poll taxes, literacy tests, the KKK, etc. It is not a stretch to think the black vote would have gone to

This is were I'm at. Due the the actions of the dems stopping the count of the vote on election night, the media "calling" certain states while not others, the actions of the democrat machine in deep blue cities counting the votes in the days after the election, voting machine
.."glitches", the fact of provable evidence of dead people voting, underaged voting, & statistical anomalies between certain cities and the rest of the nation, the burden of proof is on the dems to prove there wasn't fraud. Unless the dems can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
...fraud did not occur, I will go with the historical record that these deep blue cities have with proven voter fraud and assume they haven't changed. They should have never disallowed poll watchers into the canvassing area. After that, they have no way to deny voter fraud took

"The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed what we have been saying — Secretary Boockvar changed the rules for the counties after telling the Court that ballots would only be segregated. The Court said it was not aware the Secretary’s original guidance, which had an ‘important bearing
on the question whether to order special treatment of the ballots in question had been modified.’

The constantly changing guidance has resulted in inconsistent handling of ballots across the counties. Her actions are nothing but a partisan effort to cause chaos and mistrust."

In 2016 Trump won despite the voter fraud. In 2018 the GOP kept the Senate despite the voter fraud. In 2020, the left front loaded the voter fraud even then Trump supporters defeated the voter fraud to the point that they had to stop counting the votes and manufacture more.
At some point, people will either stand up and so no more or sit back and watch their country be divided by division and lost to those that do not care for any "rules" or "fair play". You can pretend it's not going on. You can hope that somehow more than half the country will
...accept the results of the election whatever they are. But the reality is that thanks to those that decided the rules are whatever they say they are at the time they say there are, the country is in a very dangerous place.

Okay, It's time for me to go cast my vote for the greatest President in my lifetime @realDonaldTrump
Vote cast. No line. About 300 votes for the day so far at the polling station but the county had like a 72% EV+mail turnout already. It's a Dem county so didn't expect a big line. Of the 10 people that voted while I was there 7, including myself were pro Trump at least from their
Clothing. Not sure about the other three one stopped at the Democrat stand set up outside polling station so I'm assuming he was a dem. Another was a sheriff deputy.

They had handicapped voting and the poll workers brought the ballot to them if they needed it. Weather was great
