The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Some of ‘em did burn cars and buildings, I assume they would’ve fallen in line for storming Capitol Hill too.

    Never underestimate those who will get violent because their preferred candidate didn’t win.

      One side did and one side you’re just saying that the could have.

      What’s the difference between those two?

          And coming dangerously close to our elected officials while chanting they wanted to hang people with the gallows they built outside. And remember people died there. And there’s tons of evidence trump led it, why do you think he’s getting charged for it.

              right. sure no one was in the building.

              ya know other than all the people actually inside the building. like that one idiot who was shot because she refused to comply with police orders as she was trying to break into where members of congress were at.

                    There were not, I don’t remember that woman’s name that claimed she was crying inside as she could hear them… turns out she was across the road. They evacuated everyone way before.

                    You’re just behaving like good little Nazis, remember “blame the Jews”? Now it’s “blame the maga” lol

      An angry person smashing the window of a Starbucks is not a fucking threat to the Republic, dude.

        People burning down cars very well could be, if some lunatic spent some time brainwashing ‘em.

          If wishes were fishes I could feed the world, buddy. There’s a reason that left wing agitation is a threat to windows and right wing agitation is a threat to the Republic. It’s the difference between an insurrectionist traitor and an angry child.

            Yes, that reason is that Republicans let a lunatic come into power, and he was able to consolidate his insane voterbase and stir ‘em up into a frenzy.

              And conservatives are unified enough to rally behind a strongman leader. Leftists and liberals just aren’t. People on the left are motivated by different ideas and ideologies. This isn’t Imperial Russia where a small, motivated group of leftists can mount a military coup. Taking power from the left means coalition building here, and if someone goes fucking crazy in power that coalition disintegrates.

                That’s another thing, yeah; the American Right, especially lately, is beyond cultish.

              You keep imagining a reality that never happened and then criticizing that universe. I guess I’m puzzled as to what you’re trying to achieve but to make it sound like everyone is as bad as each other. It’s just not the case.

                you’re just imagining an alternate reality and criticizing it

                I’m not sure how you got that out of what I said, but cool ig
