Only about 1/4 of Republicans accept that Biden won legitimately

They’re never going to accept that Biden won. I expect red-state textbooks to show that the 2020 election was stolen.

The share of Republican respondents willing to recognize the legitimacy of Biden's election is only about a quarter & is unchanged from our poll taken before the midterms. @UMassPoll pic.twitter.com/XOYAUBt2gW

While Trump weaker than used to be-👀 at where GOP primary voters are at:

ONLY
* 24% believe Biden won fair & square
* 16% believe Trump instigated “attack on the Capitol on 1/6”
* 13% do not want him to be nominee

* Trump fav 68/29
* Cheney fav 16/59https://t.co/tVrge8sFPO

Most Republicans are quiet on Trump’s statement that the Constitution should be terminated

One of the worst things Trump has said

Most Republicans are cowards.

The real story isn’t that Trump wants to suspend the Constitution. He showed that clearly enough when he tried to overturn the election.

The story is that prominent Republicans refuse to condemn the idea of setting aside the Constitution. That is truly extraordinary. https://t.co/xax0PiCF6Y

FFS. "A number of other Republicans condemned the message, but most stopped short of criticizing Trump himself."

Right-wing poisonous use of “regime”

About 2/3 of Republicans will never accept that Biden won in 2020. This is one way they show it. “Regime” makes it sound like dictators, not elected officials. Just search “Biden Regime” on Twitter to see GOP garbage.

Everyone is talking about the dumb right wing talking point that Alex Jones is being persecuted by the "regime."

So a reminder: The right's specific use of the term "regime" is much broader. It's about delegitimizing rule of law itself — at least when it's applied to them. See: https://t.co/exrhLrcyjy

Articles on GOP election deniers

One election denier has already won in New York: ABC News projects that Rep. Nicole Malliotakis has won the GOP primary in New York’s 11th District. Malliotakis was among a group of Rs who voted not to certify some of the results of the 2020 election. https://t.co/MSjZiBCHWp

Today’s depressing @nytimes piece about 2/3 of the current GOP candidates believing or pretending to believe in the Big Lie reminded me of this, in my 2017 book Fantasyland.

GOP access to voting equipment is wrong

This is a multi-state issue.

Republican efforts to boost third-party spoiler candidates

Misleading Washington Post tweet on voting machines

Republicans have “worked the refs”. The Post should have said only Republicans are doing this.

It’s not a “national trend”. It’s a “national trend for the Republican Party”. Democrats aren’t doing this.

Republican efforts to breach voting machines

Bad Washington Post tweet on Republican breach of voting machines

Only one party is doing this. The tweet should say so. The investigation in the article is excellent but it still doesn’t say that only Republicans are doing this.

It’s not a “national trend”. It’s a “national trend for the Republican Party”. Democrats aren’t doing this.
