84% of Republicans think the election was stolen.

[Hamlette]

no link, was on Chris Hayes' show.

This is a coup attempt and WFT????? It is the WHOLE Republican party.

We need to make that clear. The GOP is trying to steal an election.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. This is the effect of the right wing noise machine (TV and radio) and the resulting cult.

Frightening.

[KPN]

8. Exactly. A week or so ago, the majority of Rs

thought Biden was the legitimate winner.

If we survive this, and that’s a real if in my view (it’s not absurd to feel that democracy might not survive), we absolutely must neuter the RW propaganda machine. We need to demand and expect factual, true information from all news sources. There needs to be sanctions against violators.

[mr_lebowski]

11. Yeah, but THAT ... was before Trump lost 30 court cases!

So ... ummmm ... yeah, obviously ...

[KPN]

26. Lol. Good point!

[former9thward]

23. You will have to get rid of the First amendment to achieve your goals.

[KPN]

28. It seems like common sense that we need to have a discussion about

whether broadcasting lies, falsehoods, etc., to influence public opinion in the pursuit of an agenda should enjoy the protections of the 1st Amendment. It’s messy, yes, but the conversation itself is common sensical.

[Thunderbeast]

2. Wait a minute...

A week ago, 70% of Republicans believed that Biden won.

The propaganda machine is working on all cylinders.

[MFM008]

3. 84 percent

of republicans and 100 percent of maggot voters are total suicidal morons.

[Hamlette]

6. incapable or unwilling to think for themselves?

How did that happen? How died 35% + of Americans are unwilling or unable to see facts. To see Trump is a liar?

This country might not be worth saving, or cannot be saved.

[MFM008]

15. I personally believe

they were so affronted by the tenure of a duly elected man of color that I voted for twice as a middle age old white broad
were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO offended and butthurt it has caused this psycho backlash.
There can be NO other explanation that makes sense.
Racist, fearful, uneducated, whiny, woman hating, basement dwelling bullies that want this psycho to tell them what to do
and how to live and it will be ok for whitey and he will keep them safe from socialists.

[TDale313]

4. This is the big danger.

Not so much that Trump will succeed in staying in office, but that nearly half the country is hearing our elections are illegitimate and full of massive fraud and should not be accepted. This will have huge implications going forward.

[genxlib]

10. I Agree with you about the dangerous part

But it isn't half. Republicans don't represent half the people. It's only about 30%. So 84% of them is "only" 25%

Still a frightening number of people but not as bad as you fear. And it will have huge implications going forward.

[world wide wally]

21. 25% of Americans think the Earth is flat too

[Doodley]

5. FFS. Biden/Obama/Bush/Clinton/reasonable Republicans need to hold a press conference.

[Bev54]

7. I have not seen 84% I saw 78%

the republicans make up only 31% of the population so that means about 24% of the population which is about what we have always felt was his die hard fans.

[Hamlette]

18. Of the total population, 43% of those polled said Biden did not legitimately win the election.

It is a The Economist/Yougov poll from 11/15-17

[mr_lebowski]

9. 99% of Republicans are utter fuckwits, so this is not surprising nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. now that is good data!

[andym]

13. Very bad news, because many/most of their politicians cater to their voters

Even if Biden manages to officially get elected President by the electors after all the Trumpian tricks, the GOP pols will block him and trump will pretend to be the real President from the sidelines.

[stopbush]

14. Fortunately, Rs make up ONLY 25% of the population

So 84% of Rs = about 21% of the population.

[former9thward]

25. You say 25%.

Other posters said 31%. Where are these figures coming from? Trump got about 74 millions votes. That is far higher than 25% of voters and in our system voters are the only thing that counts.

[stopbush]

29. Gallup and Pew

[NewsCenter28]

30. Hey 9th/sorry your guy lost Nov. 3

Glad to see you are going down with his ship like a loyal foot soldier though!

[chowder66]

16. I'm sure there is a segment that 'say' they think it's stolen but they know better.

If they all really believed everything Trump and Republicans pump out many would be dead from injecting bleach.
They are just as disingenuous as their leaders.

They are so fucking hyped up on disrespecting America and her traditions they can't see through their own bullshit.
They have disgraced themselves.

[fearnobush]

17. 99.8% of Democratic's believe Trump is trying to steal the election.

They have the guns but we have the numbers.

[world wide wally]

20. Of course they are going to say it was stolen.

Donald the god has spoken

[SomedayKindaLove]

22. How many Rs did not vote for Trump?

10%? Not nearly enough (or just enough?) of course, but for a party that knows how to fall in line, maybe significant.

I bet that’s why Trump did worse than the rest of the Rs. All the R voters who voted for Biden, or voted for no one for president, but still went party down ticket.

Also..if you figure the 10% Rs who did not support Trump more than likely think the election was fair, then only 6% of people who actually voted for trump think the elections were fair. Or, 94% of Trump voters think the election was rigged. 70M!

[Thekaspervote]

24. After how wrong polls were on 11/3.. I don't buy what they are selling

considering how fast the news cycle flips, this won’t last. We do need to get past this nonsense, certify the vote and move on!!

[ChoppinBroccoli]

27. It's Time To Drown The Entire Republican Party In The Toilet

The entire Party has sold its soul to Trumpism and has abdicated its responsibility for governing responsibly. It is now the Party of kooks, weirdos, wackos, conspiracy theorists, and racists. And NOTHING more. We need to treat it just like Germany treated the Nazi Party after the fall of Hitler.
