The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.
The administration really needs to bring back fireside chats. These people are living in a different reality and have no trust in institutions. Only through a concerted effort to educate them can we combat the disinformation. Or bring back the fairness doctrine.
It goes a lot deeper than that. Education is a really, really huge issue in America. And sadly these idiots don’t just exist, they are created and cultivated by those who seek to use them - and use them they do.
I keep seeing you post, are you really a Boomer? Not trying to be pedantic, I’m honestly curious. Either way, I’ve enjoyed a lot of your commentary, hope to see you around more!
My son calls me a boomer, so I own it. As for my posting. I only post to create engagement so the Fediverse can continue to grow. Unlike our government, I’ll pass the torch once this place gets more people.
Well, I hope you stick around even if the fediverse does take off expeditiously.
Thanks, you too.
