Trump was still insisting at his Saturday rally that he has tons of proof that the 2020 election was corrupt.
Powell is still saying that more and more evidence comes in every day.
Giuliani insisted for months that he had the evidence to prove Hunter Biden's corruption, along with that of his father.
And yet no one ever asks why, if they have such evidence, they still haven't revealed it.
I know that Trump-humpers aren't the smartest people in the country - but you'd think they'd at least ask the question.

(58,647 posts)Actually revealing their 'evidence' means people would move on to something else. The conman can never close the deal. Catching the fish kills it.
Personally, I can't tolerate never ending teases. Sooner or later there has to be resolution.

I do believe that even the most hardcore MAGAts are eventually going to tire of the never-ending teases. It will take them longer than it would for intelligent people - but at some point, they'll realize that there really isn't any there there.
You'll remember the footage of people walking out of one of Trump's recent rallies while he was still speaking. Eventually everyone gets tired of watching the same rerun of a TV show episode - even if it was once their favourite episode.

(27,813 posts)... because why? No one dares ask.
Especially Giuliani's alleged evidence about the Bidens. Any such 'evidence' would only have been useful before the election last November. So IF he had it, why didn't he expose it when it could have hurt Joe?

(1,383 posts)I just heard a little excerpt about Pinochet and something about "liberals in helicopters" on the Thom Hartmann show. Hmm, I wonder what fun the fascists had. I look forward to researching it more.
Inquisitiveness is a weakness in their circles. Stand up, sit down, bow your heads and follow f**king orders is their mantra.
The only question on the tips of their tongues is, "when does the civil war begin".

NanceGreggs
(27,813 posts)But you'd think that somewhere along the line, someone would have asked the obvious question. They would have gotten some bogus answer, of course - but not a single person has ever bothered to ask.

(53,410 posts)Im sure some who thought to ask were yelled at, ridiculed and verbally attacked. Thats what bullies do. Pure exhaustion would make many people tow the line. The mob rule is powerful.

(1,236 posts)And they cannot handle the truth.
They are too heavily invested in this evil, smoldering piece of shit. They have invested their souls, their families, their money, their futures, their humanity...much like that of what GOP politicians have invested. To have to face, completely exposed and vulnerable, the fact that they have been used, fleeced and corrupted in every possible way is going to be too much for them to handle. Over 30% of this country will, when that time finally comes, melt down in the ugliest of ways. I think back to comment by Alec Guinness towards the end of The Bridge on the River Kwai..."What have I done?"

Don't hold your breath or lose any sleep over it, Nance.

(2,254 posts)..there IS no evidence...well, most and certainly the leaders promoting the lie. In addition to the grift, it will be the excuse for every Republican loss in elections to come.

The most dangerous people in the world are those who believe they have the absolute truth. they frighten me but I don't know what to do about it. They won't listen or question because they believe.
