Philip Bump, writing in The Washington Post1 discusses a report written by a “group of Republican staffers and officials with robust partisan credentials” that concludes the claims of a stolen election are without any supporting evidence whatsoever.
However,
Those who believe Trump’s claims that the election was stolen are participants in a torrid love affair with the idea. There’s no dissuading, no telling them that their partner is toxic, dishonest and deceptive. Over time, one hopes, their feelings will simply fade and, while they’ll always harbor positive feelings toward the idea that election was stolen, they’ll move on. Perhaps even trust another election in the future.
Let’s hope those who bought the claims of a stolen election will indeed, eventually move on. But, in the meantime, their credulity and disconnect with reality continue to contribute to the grave problems facing our nation.
