Even the cult isn’t buying it

I think this summarizes our situation nicely:

For perhaps the first time in American history, a coordinated effort to taint or even overturn a presidential election may be underway. With no evidence of wrongdoing, the Republican Party and Trump administration officials such as General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy and Attorney General William Barr have refused to acknowledge President Donald Trump’s defeat or cooperate with President-elect Joseph Biden’s transition team. Instead, they are moving forward on multiple fronts to sow doubt about the validity of mail-in ballots and the motives of election officials in states where Trump lost or is losing. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said there will be a “smooth transition to a second Trump administration.” It was unclear if he was joking. 

By the way, its not working:

Nearly 80% of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the Nov. 3 election after most media organizations called the race for the Democrat based on his leads in critical battleground states, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.Slideshow ( 2 images )

Biden – who needed 270 Electoral College votes to win – had 279 of those votes to 214 for Trump with results in three states not yet complete, according to Edison Research. In the popular vote, Biden got 76.3 million, or 50.7% of the total, to 71.6 million, or 47.6%, for Trump.

The Reuters/Ipsos national opinion survey, which ran from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday, found that 79% of U.S. adults believe Biden won the White House. Another 13% said the election has not yet been decided, 3% said Trump won and 5% said they do not know.

The results were somewhat split along party lines: about six in 10 Republicans and almost every Democrat said Biden won.

Polling doesn’t seem t be picking up all the Trump cultists, so I’m not sure I believe this. But it can’t be that far off. There are quite a few Republicans who apparently aren’t buying Trump’s bullshit.

But that doesn’t mean they don’t admire him for doing it anyway. In fact, I’d guess they love him more than ever. As long as libs are crying he’s a winner in their minds.
