The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

      It’s hard to think of anything that “gets me the most” about the last 6-8 years but this is up there. If you pin them down by the ears and make them answer, most will say they would rather have King Trump than President Biden.

      Ask them, what about after King Trump dies? What if a democrat manages to take the throne and get all the power he had? Watch them sputter.

      It’s so disturbing.

        They are attracted to power. If a democrat managed to seize the throne from the Trump royal family, then that democrat is powerful and thus now respectable, as long as they maintain the monarchy.

          Monarchy is the origin and the goal of conservatism. Total hierarchy, everyone in their proper place from top to bottom.
