    It’s kind of both. People are able to hold both a belief and its opposite at the same time. This puts them in a state of stressed-out dissonance, yes, but the overriding belief is that that dissonance will be cured - in this case - when biden wins, so the stutter narrative becomes prominent. If they could be convinced to sit down with their thoughts and really consider it they would inevitably accept that it is not just a stutter, but they keep themselves in a hyped-up frenzy so that sort of calm consideration never takes place.
