QAnon more erratic after Trump election loss
Posted by Catherine Reed / December 3, 2020A 20-year-old voting contractor in Georgia is facing death threats after a QAnon influencer orchestrated a campaign against him. Trump, meanwhile, is fanning the flames by posting long, rambling tirades on Facebook that include the same charts and graphs that QAnon uses.
Shortly after the election, paramilitary groups, QAnon conspiracy theorists, and other Trump supporters gathered in Nevada to fight the election results this past weekend.
A White House aide’s claim that Donald Trump is “very aware” that he lost the election, but he is putting up a fight as a “performance” for his followers seems to be dead on. Some 80% of Trump’s supporters think that Biden’s win was illegitimate. This has terribly implications for our nation. If we lose faith in our system, our system collapses.
Hopefully, now that Trump is beginning to openly admit that Biden won the election, in his own, petty way, people his supporters will begin to chill out and the tears in the fabric of democracy can begin to mend.
It’s also a good sign that the Trump campaign has dropped its ridiculous lawsuit demanding a ballot recount in Arizona, after they realized that the margin of victory could not be overcome.
If more of his supporters learn that Trump is using his “election fraud defense fund” to fundraise for his own legal fees pay off campaign debts.
Honestly, this is probably the only thing that will come of Trump’s nuisance lawsuits––one last con against his supporters. No one else is buying the fraud claims. Even Fox News interrupted Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s Press Secretary, in the middle of a tirade about alleged voter fraud––a tirade with no evidence. The Fox News host said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just think we have to be very clear: she’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue to show you this,” as he interrupted her.
