Trump’s falsehoods — and what Democrats say is the threat he poses to democracy — have even some Democrats questioning whether their party should accept a loss in the Nov. 5 election.
While 19% of Republicans say Trump should reject the election results if he loses, 12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same if she loses.
I’m not sure of how they worded the question, but I think you are exactly correct. There are a lot of Trump voters who don’t believe he lost in 2020. So, if he really lost, they’d accept that, but virtually nothing would be accepted as a real loss short of Trump flat-out saying, “I lost, but it was the most beautiful loss in history.”
He did eventually admit he lost the 2020 election.
Kinda. He later said he was being sarcastic.
He did. But he also still claims he won and that it was stolen to this day. It’s one of his biggest talking points.
Doublethink
Yeah, I mean just look at 2020, around 2/3s of Republicans believe it was stolen.
It wasn’t, there’s zero evidence it was.
But still, 2/3s agree with it.
Anyone that expects the 19% number to still be true in three weeks is woefully naive. This is the floor, but lots won’t say it till the election is over, but are going to say it regardless
