Why did he waste his time? We all know why you retards believe the election was stolen. Drumpf told you what to think.
First he primed you by telling you if he lost then something was fishy. Then when he lost he claimed it was rigged. Thats when he fooled you into donating to his cause and made you sign a disclaimer.
I knew you'd stick your nose in the air and refuse to read the article.
Repeated studies have been done proving that Conservatives are far more open to reading and viewing opposing views than are Liberals. Keep up the good work!
All the studies I have read prove that conservatives are afraid of opposing views.
Your views are not important enough for me to read about. I know already they are just whack ass conspiracy theories.
THANK YOU SINCERELY! I appreciate you going out of your way to prove my point.
People Choose News That Fits Their Views

Such readers may prefer blogs over mainstream media sources because they suspect bias in the latter, said Richard Davis, a political scientist at Brigham Young University in Utah.
"They're clearly disenchanted with traditional media," Davis said.
"That's why they read blogs in the first place - in their view, they see blogs as more accurate."
Davis worked with several independent firms to conduct nationally representative public opinion surveys of both political blog readers and journalists for his book, "Typing Politics" (Oxford University Press, 2009). He also focused on seven of the top political blogs, which at the time included Daily Kos on the left and Michelle Malkin on the right.
Such political blogs are up front with their political views, and typically "echo" the news reported by traditional journalists while adding their own spin or analysis.
But among the hardcore political junkies, 30 percent told the survey that blogs are more accurate, whereas only 8 percent said traditional media was more accurate. About 40 percent gave equal marks to both.
This trust in blogs over traditional media does not carry over to general readers, Davis cautioned. Less frequent blog readers usually give equal weight to blogs and traditional media. And overall, general readers still put more faith in traditional media.
Conservatives buck the trend.
Some findings from both researchers suggest that individual confidence and certainty play a role in what people choose to read.
People with stronger party affiliation, conservative political views, and greater interest in politics proved more likely to click on articles with opposing views, according to the Ohio State study.
"It appears that people with these characteristics are more confident in their views and so they're more inclined to at least take a quick look at the counterarguments," Knobloch-Westerwick noted.
