I know how stupid and deep into right-wing Trumpian rabbit hole you are. I was hoping somebody less simple-minded would respond. Trump with his outrageous demands proved to anyone with firing neurons that the election was fair and honest. You want your dictator back in power.

NO SIR! Trump goes way beyond being a critic of globalization and actually has a more dangerous and reckless Anti-establishment platform.

Growing levels of polarization and out-group hostility were the fashionable explanations for the caustic politics of the Trump presidency. However, partisan and ideological identities cannot explain popular attraction to Trump’s anti-elite and populist rhetoric, nor can polarization and sorting account for rising levels of mass identification as political independents.

In light of these discrepancies, an explanation for the Trump era unrelated to traditional left-right identities and ideologies: anti-establishment orientations.

Much of what is interpreted as an expression of partisan and ideological extremism or polarization is actually the product of a deep-seated antagonism toward the broader political establishment. Trump exhibits the individual-level correlates of anti-establishment orientations, finding that people holding strong anti-establishment views exhibit relatively high levels of anti-social personality traits and distrust of others.

Anti-establishment orientations are more predictive than left-right orientations of beliefs in conspiracy theories regarding COVID-19, QAnon, and voter fraud. Most importantly, while anti-establishment orientations are positively related to support for Donald Trump, they are negatively related to support for Joe Biden and both major parties.

In short, the toxicity emblematic of the Trump era—support for outsider candidates, belief in conspiracy theories, corrosive rhetoric, and violence—are derivative of antipathy towards the established political order, rather than a strict adherence to partisan and ideological dogma. Trump’s most powerful and unique impact on American electoral politics is his activation, inflammation, and manipulation of preexisting anti-establishment orientations for partisan ends.

There may be a tiny part of the Trump base that is that stupid. they really do believe that Trump was robbed of his throne. They were provided everything they could have possibly gotten to prove it was stolen and they failed, and failed and failed. The election is not the problem. It is those people. The ones that post the theft here, I wonder if they are just fucking around. They cannot be that stupid, can they?

Trump has them convinced that Lying and Cheating and denying is the only way to go in the Republican party.

This is why their own children grow up to be Democrats and their party is dying!
