They can’t accept the idea that everyone is not a white nationalist like they are. Trump set the template in 2020 and his cult will follow it for future elections.
Trump, Elder, Fox, talk radio — because this is just what happens now, Republicans are priming their people for future lies that a California recall defeat was the product of Democratic cheating: https://t.co/LYBMZF0zBO

Will Republicans ever accept the results of a major election? I doubt it. I don’t think they’ll accept the 2024 presidential results if they lose. Trump has undermined his cult’s trust in elections.

Opinion | Fox News commentator lies: Gavin Newsom’s only hope is voter fraud https://t.co/TpSIQrcYtF

Trump just said the California recall is “probably rigged.” It's not.

And even this week, Elder said “we know there were shenanigans” in 2020. There weren't.
It’s the same darn cynical playbook.
Spread misinformation. Confuse the voters. Subvert our democracy. Repeat.
Trump, without evidence, already claiming Newsom recall is 'rigged'

Of course he is. Which means his sources are telling him that the recall will fail. Just like #TrumpFailed

Republicans are already saying California's recall election is "rigged." A leading GOP Senate candidate in Nevada is already talking about election lawsuits – 14 months before Election Day.
