Depressing, isn´t it? The willful, knowing disconnect from reality. Orng Man god. Itś cargo cultism.

The murderously perfect question that you are no doubt refraining from asking, because you want to preserve both your friendship with her and your sanity, is: ¨if there is evidence, then why has it not been presented in over 60 state-level court cases challenging the election results?¨ The time to introduce that evidence, if they had it, was well before now. Biden is in the Oval office and has been sworn in. Heś president. Why wait this long?

I actually did bring up the fact that Trump lost 60+ lawsuits. She just said that the judges don't want to hear it, but that proof is coming.

I would think their heads would explode from all the cognitive dissonance.

But they actually seem to thrive.

I think he expects the people who need him to be sane will remember his sane speech, and if they remember the others, they'll know he "had to talk that way" and the ones who remember that one, paid no attention to his sane speech or didn't hold it against him.

Humans just respond to the strongman. However threadbare he may be. Sometimes it seems they're ill at ease in life, just waiting for that man to come along. How else can you explain how weird it is?

Looks like Don Blankenship was right after all.

Now, now — let’s not insult the cargo cults, too.

They’ll blame it on space aliens, time travel, and gremlins if they have to.

That's so true. There's no interest in learning the actual TRUTH.

Well, it sounds as though she at least admits that Biden won this time.

Way back when Bill Clinton first ran, I worked in a cubicle farm of technical support guys (and they were mostly guys and they were mostly "conservative"). When the very first returns came in, these guys were ecstatic: the votes were overwhelmingly against Clinton. Of course, the results were from one small town with a population of just dozens, but they had no understanding of statistics and probability. I enjoyed watching them lose over the rest of the day. Note that these guys were the sort who put political posters on the outside of their cubes so that all of us had to see them.

I can't completely agree that Trump's assertion means absolutely nothing. It usually means that the opposite is true. That's been pretty consistent over four plus years now.

And that reminds me of my sister who laughs about "global warming" every time it rains. Complete lack of understanding of statistics.
