Donald Trump and many Republican operatives continue to promote the ruse that the 2020 election results—which gave Joe Biden a victory and made Donald Trump a one-term president—are false. This isn’t surprising, but it is disappointing. We have a democracy and the foundation of that democracy is that every eligible American is supposed to have an equally weighted vote. This isn’t actually true with the Electoral College, but the general idea is still supposed to apply. But even with the scales already pressed down on the side of the minority Republican Party, the GOP and its cult base are having a hard time reconciling that there are so many more Americans who would prefer new leadership at this crucial moment in our history.

A new poll from Reuters/Ipsos reports that while 73% of those polled agreed that Biden had won the election, and that only 5% thought Trump won, more than half of the Republicans asked thought that Trump had “rightfully won.” By this “rightfully won” measurement, only 29% of Republicans believed Biden had won. According to the poll, 68% of Republicans worried about the election being “rigged.”
