The Big Lie lives on

Most Republicans will never accept Biden’s 2020 victory. I don’t think they would accept a 2024 Democratic win either. I bet the Big Lie winds up in red-state school textbooks.

% of americans that think the 2020 election was rigged/stolen from trump, as of june 2022:

dem: 7%
ind: 29%
gop: 65% (!)

Only 6% of Republicans think Biden’s victory was definitely legitimate

It’s over a year now. The Republican party will never accept their loss in 2020 and they won’t accept future ones either. There could be more insurrections in the future.

Only 6% of Republicans think Biden’s victory was definitely legitimate. The GOP is a Trump cult. https://t.co/F2geZNXDGP

Thanks to those who've sent me Mark Meadows' 38-page PowerPoint on vote fraud DATED JAN. 5 (day before the attempted coup d'etat). To save you time, I'd summarize it this way: COMPLETE HORSESHIT.https://t.co/6uyiIwWyK5

Update on 2020 Trump cult effort to run a Biden campaign bus off the road

When a Biden campaign bus was followed by a "Trump Train" on a Central Texas highway last year, multiple bus passengers fearing for their safety asked San Marcos law enforcement for an escort. A lawsuit states police refused to help.https://t.co/xZJAPIAYAz

The FBI is investigating the alleged harassment of a Joe Biden campaign bus by motorists displaying Trump 2020 flags, a law enforcement source familiar with the probe tells CNN https://t.co/sKQy6GpEl5
— CNN (@CNN) November 1, 2020

We have now identified eight individuals connected to the Oct. 30, 2020, Biden-Harris bus harassment incident who also later attended the Capitol riot. At least seven took part in Facebook groups that we repeatedly warned the company about prior to Jan. 6. https://t.co/HsNy1s6SYU

In the final days of the 2020 campaign, Trump defended his supporters that allegedly swarmed a Biden bus in Texas and tried to run it off the road. Then, Trump lied about the FBI investigation into that incident, by falsely denying its existence. (FBI confirmed on the record.) pic.twitter.com/ZYKKRpvj11

Good for Hogan for telling the truth about Trump but he’s still bad for Baltimore

“It’s outrageous, unacceptable and bad for the party,” @LarryHogan said in an interview about the former president’s intervention, which he termed “Trump cancel culture.”https://t.co/X3aH2i1wSQ

MD Gov. Hogan used a Baltimore visit to make it seem like Waverly neighborhood businesses—like @urbanreadsbooks—supported Hogan's "refund the police" rhetoric; these businesses were confronted by customers over this. Hogan response? "It was a great visit" https://t.co/GYqXyrkYmT

Hogan rejected federal funding at the dawn of his 1st term (canceling the Red Line) & he's doing it again rejecting federal unemployment boost. This is simply policy cruelty. It doesn't save the state a dollar. He's just strong arming people into poverty wages we'll subsidize. https://t.co/VduSIELT20

MASK OFF: Gov. Hogan just vetoed the Dignity Not Detention Act, my bill to ban ICE detention centers in Maryland. Hogan plays a "moderate" on MSNBC, but has never been a friend to our immigrant neighbors.

I look forward to the General Assembly overriding this veto next session.
