I wanted to read this article and feel optimistic. But it shows is that most of those who admit there is no solid evidence for election fraud still choose to believe it anyway. (Thread)

The right-wing bubble has taught its inhabitants not just that inconvenient facts aren’t real, but that even when they are, it shouldn’t penetrate their foundation-less belief system.

It’s religious adherence to a political party—only more so. Biblically speaking, faith is being “certain of what you have not yet seen.” It isn’t supposed to require denying what you have seen. But that is what the GOP requires of its true believers.

The lies have become more obvious and brazen, and it only has the core of their base more entrenched. They praise policies that directly hurt them, They hide from information, and disregard it if they can’t avoid it.

Unfortunately, all of this means that much of the GOP base is like a teenager in love with a monster: the more we try to introduce reason, the more stubbornly they cling. All we can do is build the coalitions that are possible, and work with those who fight for the greater good.
