In the UK it is a tradition to stay up all night long watching the results as they come in, graphically illustrated by 'swing-ometers' and 'going live' to various town halls for declarations, invariably with a candidate dressed as a Raving Monster Looney or Jedi hovering in the background.

Or someone from The Standing In The Back Dressed Stupidly And Looking Looking Stupid Party?

He says that people were somehow duped into voting a different candidate by unsuspecting voters. You have to read all Trump tweets to speak Trumpese, or read it.

It's now questionable that you could gain anything more by reading his tweets. I've switched to my own name in Twitter, and will post less and less in 2021.

Evidence? For something Trump says? Are you serious?

That thing about wondering if bats possess sentience, conscience, whatever? About what it might mean to be a bat? That we can never know for sure, not without some way of actually communicating with those creatures, although we may theorize away all we want?

That's kind of how it is with Trump cultists. It's easy enough to understand Trump. He's crazy, and he's stupid, and he's wily and crafty in a low kind of way as well as being stupid, and he's pathologically focused on what's-in-it-for-me and pathologically lacking in things like empathy and morality and all of those things that mark us out as human. Bla bla bla. But the thousands, millions, of Trump cultists? There's no understanding them, at all.

And apparently there isn't any way to properly communicate with them either. This last seems amazing, but there you are.

I thought he might be getting his ideas from somewhere, OANN, Breitbart, FoxNews, and they might have offered some evidence.

I think it's more likely he made something up, forgot what it was, couldn't be bothered to look back through his own tweets, did his best to remember but got it wrong. Never rule out laziness and stupidity in general, but with Trump never rule anything else in.

I thought the allegation was that there were more votes than there were registered voters (though the allegation is false).

Where is his evidence for more votes than people who voted ?

This is the Michigan/Minnesota mixup, where a guy used the vote totals from precincts in Michigan and applied them to precincts in Minnesota. Not surprisingly, they were all over the place.

The moron is still pushing the Michigan/Minnesota crap!!!!!

Come on, Trump supporters, will you NOW admit that he is a complete loon?

They're both the same right? Both start 'Mi', right? Just spelt slightly different but interchangeable, see? MI and MN but who knew Minnesota would be MN when it follows it, too, must be MI like Michigan. And they are both up north. Do you have a problem with this, pal?

I'd have thought a more Trumpian reaction would be, "MI has always meant Minnesota, the liberals are just pretending it doesn't to make me look bad. Sad!"

Scott Shapiro tweeted

Shameful that Ted Cruz won't speak up to defend Democracy.
It's not like we're asking him to defend his wife or father.

Wow. I don't get his point at all here.

Cruz did defend his family, despite later turning into a Trump ally for reasons I don't get. Is this mocking Cruz for supporting Trump and ALSO mocking him for not supporting these ******** allegations of fraud in support of Trump? The whole message is screwy.

I already thought the blurb summarizing his Presidency would be:

The Trump Years - Democracy Tested

This helps solidify that thought.

I just never thought the results of that test might be in question.

Tested, hell. Democracy had significant losses when Trump escaped removal by an almost strictly party line vote.

Sure, if Trump somehow retained the presidency now, it would be a greater blow for democracy, but it's already bleeding.

Minnesota: Twins
Michigan: Tigers

Big difference there.

Well... yeah.

"Becoming a sycophantic enabling Yes-Man to the guy who insulted my wife and called me a liar" is pretty "Point and laugh" worthy event with a token "But he stood up for his wife between those two events" in there.

It's just reminding him of his place.
