Yeah, that is crazy. It's almost as crazy as Hillz losing an election because of some massive Russian propaganda operations. I'm so confused.
Totally understandable, when people keep telling you that Democrats claim Russia caused Trump to win. Like, that was the main arbiter, nothing else. Said no one ever, but when you just really need to be a victim, Republicans’ lack of self-esteem will always find a way to false martyrdom.
It’s far easier to conflate interference with direct causality because exaggerations sell hate. Why was Russia “a hoax?” Because to a Republican, nuance is apparently worthless (even with proof.)
With all that safely in place, it then makes sense to think a former President lying about a stolen election and lying about elections instantly being overturned as normal and just.
