(CNN) New polls released Thursday show just how far Republicans were willing to go to support then-President Donald Trump's unprecedented efforts to subvert the 2020 election.
The research was conducted by the Democracy Fund, a nonpartisan foundation that studies voter attitudes toward democratic institutions and works to strengthen democracy in the US.
Their polls found that after the election, a supermajority of Republicans backed Trump's efforts to overturn the results: 86% said his legal challenges were appropriate, 79% said they weren't confident in the national vote tally, and 68% said Trump really won. Another 54% said Trump should never concede, and a plurality said state legislatures should override the popular vote.
This set the stage for Trump, GOP lawmakers, and right-wing media outlets to continue pushing the lie that the election was "rigged," which Trump did yet again in a press release this week.

(182,807 posts)1. We forget that he disappeared for over a week after the election
By all accounts he retreated into the living quarters to lament losing the election. He knew he lost. They all knew. The grifters saw an opportunity with the cult and he jumped right in to gin up adulation and attention and fund raise off of this.

there it is - illegal audits.
DHS, FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc. all have eyes and ears on this.
