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.

This just in: republicans are fucking insane

If you are a republican in this day and age, given ALL the shit they have done and what they stand for, you are either stupid, evil or both

    you are either stupid, evil or both

    Republican leadership is mostly both, and it is done with the idea of keeping their voting base stupid. Smart, moral people don't vote republican at least since Reagan. The only thing Republican leadership believes in is money and power, and you have to keep people pretty dumb in order to keep believing the lies that Republican policies are good for anyone but the rich. So you get a DeSantis, for example, who's stripping libraries and destroying education in his state because it's the only hope that he has in keeping power. It's why Republican talking points are all about "woke" because they don't have to define it and they can't actually point to like a single fucking thing they're doing that's bettering anyone's lives.

    Remember when democrats cried for 4 years about "muh Russia interference"?

    Remember it was shown that it was fabricated by Clinton?

    Remember when they found nothing in connection to Russia even though all they did was try and get him on something?

    This is "democracy" is it?

    Orange man said mean tweets so now we much fortify and make sure we only have our guys as leaders lol

    No I don't remember. Got any proof/ sauce for this bullshit you're peddling?

    Here is what I remember: "So the report documents the extensive connections between folks in the Trump campaign and Russia, some of which we already knew. But it goes into greater depth, most notably probably on Paul Manafort."

    and "A nearly 1,000-page report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday documented a broad set of links and interactions between Russian government operatives and members of the 2016 Trump campaign...".

    oh I just remembered this: A bipartisan Senate report released Tuesday affirms the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusions that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election in a far-ranging influence campaign approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin and aimed at helping Donald Trump win the White House.
