I'm not sure if Trump's antics are 1) the tantrum of a spoiled brat, 2) a non-transparent fund raising effort where supporters think they're helping expose voter fraud but are actually helping Trump with debt and helping him set up a PAC through which he can attempt to run the Republican party after he leaves office, or 3) the initial stages of a coup attempt.
Regardless of his intent, he has somehow deceived (what feels like) half the country. The whole sale belief I'm seeing, or at least hesitance to disbelieve, his fiction is scary. And I don't really get scared by politics.
I'm waiting to see if he's a selfish childish brat or a usurper. And I'm waiting to see whether democracy can continue in the U.S when such a large portion of our country can be sold a flat earth level conspiracy theory. If Trump can deceive this many what happens when the next, more competent deceiver shows up?
Just curious, have you examined very much of what is thought to be evidence by what feels like that other half of the country ?
