One of the hallmarks of conspiracy theories that is on display in this one as well is that the evidence is sitting their plain as day for anyone to see, and yet it is seen by hardly anyone.
Whether we are talking about elected officials, investigative journalists, law enforcement officials, or just interested amateurs including people like ourselves, we look at what happened and we don't see any evidence of wrongdoing. However, we are informed by people on the fringes that it is obvious.
To be fair, the fringes are a little bit bigger this time around. OANN and Newsmax are in there with the fraud stuff, and 69 Pennsylvania legislators can't exactly be called "fringe".
However, in general, the right wing sources see fraud, and the rest of us examine the evidence and we see people counting votes. They can see things we cannot. So it is with all conspiracy theories. Only those who have achieved enlightenment can look at the evidence and realize it for what it truly is.
