(21,424 posts)trump supports are far more swayed by rumors, conspiracy theories, speculation and innuendo than they are by actual facts. They are hard wired to reject any sort of fact or logical argument as tainted by liberal agendas.
so chances are they are more likely to vote against him WITHOUT a briefing. on the order of 1% chance vs. 0.001%

(406 posts)Why the fuck isn't anyone doing anything about this? Is this really how we're all going to go down? Everyone just standing around looking at the ceiling or their shoes?
"Cut it out"?!? That's it? That's all we get?
Not that I thought for a second that the EC was going to save us, but I didn't really expect this level of apathy from upper management. I'm astounded and appalled.

(60,010 posts)And conspiracy theories are not a bad thing...they are just theories, after all. Till and when they are proven true.
This whole fucked up election needs some serious attention, yet the Dems in teh White house and Congress, and the Dem. party really do not seem too bothered, do they?
Surely that is telling us something.

(44 posts)unless the electors have been secluded in a hermetically sealed envelope since the election they already know drumpf is a fraud, a liar, a cheat, a loser, and has handpicked the worst fascist oligarchs in the history of America. if they had watched any television, even fauxnoose, they know that the future will make a doomsday sci-fy movie look like a day in the park. they already know what they should do as a patriot - but they have to go back home and live with the troglodytes in their party, in their neighborhood, at their jobs, and in their churches. Even if we offered to protect them, we couldn't.
