    If you can’t prove it, then you have no argument and you’re just pounding your fist on the table. Typical Republican strategy.

      That would be a problem for them if their voters were asking for proof, but they aren’t.

    Johnson’s arguments are so bad he doesn’t even make any. Every single right wing stooge at the top understands the demographics of vote by mail, we’ve just normalized treason and lying. SCOTUS is the only legislator they need.

    There’s way more evidence Mikey Johnson has a GRINDR profile than there is of California election fraud.

    I mean just insisting without evidence worked during the last election, so why not this one?

    Why are people falling for this shit!? Why!? People normally aren’t this stupid without having been constantly manipulated over time.

      I don’t think they’re falling for it as much as using it as an excuse. It’s a “we must win at any cost” mindset, believing some enemy ideology won over half the nation and they might as well cheat, because they see drag queens on TV so the liberal media brainwashing the nation is the way they’re being cheated.

      In any case that’s the lie conservative voters are being sold, that this new age ideology and “woke mind virus” is winning and now they have to do anything to stop it. I doubt Johnson believes it as much as is a huge fucking gaping pussy that is falling in line to stay relevant politically.

      Conservative politicians are like the dude working at the register who steals money from it, then tells the boss the other guy is stealing from the register. Then when anyone blames him, they can say “I said it first”.

    This logic makes sense when viewed through a religious fundamentalist mindset. For sane people it’s fucking nonsense.

    Denigrating a nation’s democratic electoral institutions without providing proof should be punishable by death.
