Look at how many adults profess to believe in angles, ghosts and religions - any of them, but especially the aggrieved Christians and their cosmic Jewish Zombie. A god who put sin into man on purpose so he would then have to sacrifice himself to himself in a blood sacrifice to remove what he put in man in the first place? Yeah...THAT sounds perfectly sane! By comparison, a Trumpian fantasy about rigged elections is at least as plausible if not infinitely MORE LIKLEY!
We have a moronic segment of the population made up of gullible fools, willing to suspend logic, reason and the scientific method as suits their mood or peccadillos or the needs of the moment for self-esteem. It's sad but true, the existence and acceptance of insane religious beliefs and other conspiracies, combined with a lack of critical thinking and stunted educations, primes the pump for people to accept equally insane and false proposals in other areas, usually with equal or greater ease.
"Unicorn thinking" infects this country - or at least 25-30% of it - and the media and corporations are more than happy to feed and nurture it for financial gains or power or both.
How can 25% of the population believe the election was rigged? Wrong question... How can those same 25% believe a pandemic virus is a hoax, even as bodies stack up in temporary morgues - or in some cases as they literally lay in a hospital DYING OF IT? or that the Earth is 5,000 years old? or that Trump does not really lie 25,000 times in 4 years? or that Trump is really a business savant who just got really unlucky in casinos SIX TIMES?
When you are willing to believe the impossible and/or the logically inconsistent, then you are ripe for the whims of others who will control your reality for their benefit alone...and that is BEFORE you factor in the 24/7/365 drumbeat of conservative media assuring them that all of this horse shit is the actual truth and that THEY are the truly nonbiased and neutrally informed...makes me want to puke constantly.
