It's playing politics, and something they all engage in. While you are likely right about a certain number of people not believing it if DJT loses, there will be the same number on the left denying the election results if he wins.
It's not a news story. It's playing politics, per usual.
More senseless hand wringing and worry beads.
You know the huge difference between those "election deniers" and Trump's election deniers.
Let's start with the principal candidates. Both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton conceded even when Al Gore had far more reason to dispute the election than Trump ever did. The deniers are not the leaders of the DNC, the leaders of Congress, and the vast majority of the Democratic political class. Gore and Clinton both showed up for the inauguration of their opponents. They did not spend the next 4, 12, 16, or 20 years whining that their election was "stolen" and "rigged" They did not seek to undermine the voting and counting process seeking to delegitimize the actual winner of the election.
MAGA and election denying is an official part of Republican campaigns. Loyalty to Trump precedes loyalty to the country and constitution.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
