Trump supporters have adopted new standards of truth. Where you can continue to claim something without proof, or think it might have happened, so it did. And refuse to believe all the processes in place including courts and election officials -- even those representing their own political goals.
They don't see how this can destroy the whole democratic process. Because they haven't figured out that it can be used by any political party, not just theirs. Not just the Democrats --any party out there and in the future.

Eugene was a progressive Democrat, also a Senator from Wisconsin.

(8,974 posts)4. Well, not totally correct
Sen. Gene McCarthy actually hailed from neighboring Minnesota. A caffeine fix is in order here as well!
