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.

    Does no one remember 2016-2020? The whole time people said Trumps win was a sham.

    Are those people traitors too?

    I’m not saying Biden’s win was bullshit, but I swear no one can remember past 30 minutes ago

      It’s not the same. Most people calling the 2016 election a sham will admit that Trump did technically win by the rules as written, but also think that those rules are bullshit because they allowed a multi-million person majority to be shut out in favor of a malevolent moron. The people saying Biden lost are saying he literally cheated and that there’s a conspiracy of thousands of government employees collaborating to break the rules and subvert the will of the people; that the multi-million majority literally doesn’t exist. This is just as disingenuous as comparing the top secret documents that Trump hid to the ones that Biden and Pence handed over immediately on request.

          Oh no people in a park. Not at all the same as trying to overturn an election.

          Also I remember when trumpets stormed the wa govs mansion.

            People in a park?

            Way to really under sell the destruction that happened there, but I guess that’s exactly what the democrats do.

            They took over a large portion of a city, and people got shot. They wouldn’t let police in and let people die. They destroyed the buildings in there and innocent people had to leave who didn’t want to be involved.

            There was deaths, arson and destruction

            But sure. People in a park.

      The small insignificant difference between the two is that those people didn’t try to break into congress and kill the people who disagreed
