That is a traction-full description.
They know...they all ain't stupid or blinded by partisanship.
They know.
As my avatar has posted and commented on several times over the last two years.....Trump and his enablers knew he lost. And they knew why. Their own trusted man went out, found out, and came back and told 'em.
Their hired pollster, Tony Fabrizio, told 'em. They trusted this guy. Trusted him for years to tell them which way the wind blew with voter sentiment....so they could course-correct when needed. He was their guy.
And he told 'em.
He and his team went out and polled thousands of voters....mostly Republican voters. And those voters told Fabrizio and his team.
And then Fabrizio told Trump -----
So now, if the MAGA-folks and the QAnon folks......simply won't believe the guy that Trump trusted, well, they then cannot be convinced. It is, as mentioned, now just Kabuki theater.
AND......they cannot re-calibrate, cannot say "ooops, my bad". They cannot accept that they are wrong. So they wreck our American sandbox.
IMHO
And Mac offers another view of the recalcitrance of the MAGA's and the QAnon's........they simply want to hold on to the trope that the election was stolen, Trump is still president, and Biden ain't. And by holding onto to that stated belief, and using it as their rationale.......well, it helps them justify their insults and attacks.
And yes, this wonderful American sandbox that our forebearers constructed is in danger from the MAGA-fibs, and QAnon fabrications. Those people are not good Americans. They are wreckers of what has been built and what has provided so many of us with good, productive, and happy lives. They are willing to wreck it all. Shame!
