    I was hanging out with a group of conservative dudes last night. They are convinced that Trump is going to win and the Democrats are going to refuse to certify the election, which will result in a civil war.

    I really hope that Harris beats his ass so badly that her victory is undeniable. Even then, I’m worried they’ll see that as further proof that the election was stolen. Having media bubbles is incredibly dangerous to our democracy.

      I just don’t understand the projection. Trump is the one that didn’t ensure peaceful transition. The first in history. Trump is the one that staged an attempted coup.

      I went on a deep dive researching delusions, though, and I suppose calling people out in the throes of one isn’t usually fruitful.

      They’ll believe anything that’s convenient for them to believe.
