that it is 51% of 27% of registered voters.

Very delusional people, but they are VASTLY outnumbered.

Both Pew & Monmouth recently showed the decline in self-identified Rs falling to barely over 24%.
Dems went up by almost 4%, while Rs fell nearly 3. Indies were essentially the same.
This strengthens your point.

There's barely a peep made that Biden continues to get approval ratings of 60+.
There's barely a peep made of continued rebound in the economy.
There's few in mass broadcast media reminding the public that over 500 people have been pinched for January 6.
The Matt Gaetz scandal is forgotten.
But, the nonsense 1 in 8 people believe gets reported as if it's of critical national importance.

Simply, 51% of people who responded to this poll chose the choice they thought would piss off Democrats when they read the results of the poll. I'm so tired of these contrived polls claiming "X% of Republicans" believe this or that. They don't. No significant percentage of Americans believe any of the Q stuff. All things Trump related are heroin to the media.

These people represent a minority, a stupid minority, but a minority all the same, when compared to the US population.

I think we can give up on the people of Kentucky voting for their own interests on the national scene.

John Lennon said, "If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you're not going to make it with anyone anyhow."

The modern corollary is, "If you go carrying pictures of Donald Trump, it's not like you'll ever be more than a chump."

What can anyone possibly say to people who embrace obvious lies? Should we do what? Tell them the truth?

I doubt that anyone, regardless of party affiliation or state of mental health, expects this to end with a report that nothing unusual was found.

In all of these states (AZ, GA and PA) multiple audits have verified the original results. Those audits were performed by firms that were certified by the EAC, and who had experience performing audits.

The judges have thus far recognized the B.S. of the fraud claims. They will also recognize the audits for the B.S. that it is.
