Same mental agility as is shown in the anti vax and flat earth movements. There are people who will believe ANYTHING as long as it's vaguely congruent with their ignorance.

Even with insight into the psychology, it remains breathtakingly jarring to see in action and a little frightening once it becomes apparent there appear to be no limits to what a core group of people are willing to accept.

Yup, and how effectively they're given a platform by social media.

I think it is very clear that I think you are a nut.

I am trying my friend, I am trying. It is hard to reach trumpet level but I think I am almost there.

I asked a close relative who did Political Science at Uni why the Democrats won and the simple answer from her was that when more people in the US actually come out to vote the Democrats always win.

It is why Republicans love voter suppression.

Gerrymandering and all sorts of other tricks.

Hint: you are not saying one thing and then immediately insisting that you said the opposite of that thing enough.

She's standing a box to look taller!

Man it's refreshing to hear somebody speaking, who can convey the ideas of "constraints" and "calibrating based on what the threat is", relating to the regional handling of the Covid outbreak. Casually and in in context.
Nothing is ever absolute. The choice is never between a maximum response, and no response. Especially not in this data driven age. And he's clearly communicating with the states on the matter. As is appropriate. Instead of just dictating from the hip, and from on high, in-between rounds of golf.

Let him mumble a few words now and then I say. He's been around the block. He's earned a bit of mumbling. As long as the rest of the thoughts he's trying to convey clearly has a working brain behind it (unlike a certain orange buffoon I can think of).

This is the bit where I think she's not being very tech savvy and getting mixed up. She fumbles her words a bit and says software that goes into voting machines, which could be compromised parts of the systems (virus, backdoors).

I don't think what she is saying is correct, but I really don't think she believes a Zombie Commie is the mastermind behind it all.

Don't underestimate this woman's insanity

Yup, and how effectively they're given a platform by social media.

Not to mention that these crazies are official speakers at a press conference held by the presidency of the united states and are speaking on behalf of the highest level of government.

I predicted Georgia would flip to Biden on election day already. Based purely on this trend. The only counties with substantial votes counted outstanding at that time were Fulton and DeKalb around Atlanta. Forget mail-in ballots even. Counting in populous counties in and around cities take longer, and democrats have way more support in cities. Historically for how-long-now this has been the trend. Biden ended up taking those counties with 72.6% and 83.1% respectively.

I mean it was still close at the state level, but there was a very high chance Biden would flip Georgia since all the way back then.

You can also see the trend on this graphic:

It holds even in Texas. Truly populous counties are overwhelmingly democrat.

All this fake news

The results of Georgia's manual recount and audit showed that Joe Biden received more votes than President Donald Trump. The recount confirmed the outcome of the initial machine ballot count.

I agree. That’s what I tell people. If he’d shut up and get off Twitter, and listen to his advisers, he’d have been hailed as a great president. But his mouth. My husband, a Democrat, even said this. I love his policies, voted for him, but I can barely stand to hear him talk.

Disturbing new details in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

There is new and disturbing information in the alleged militia plot against the governor of Michigan.

abc7chicago.com

Plan B:

New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials.

Plan C:

And, according to government documents now on file in lower Michigan court, there was also a Plan C -- burning down the state house, leaving no survivors.

Oh...

Another gem:

1. 20,000 absentee voters in the primary didn’t show up on Election Day because trump told them not to.
2. 30,000 Rubio voters who have him a chance voted for Biden and then straight ticket Republican. Our senators got more votes than the president. Ga didn’t turn blue. It is still firmly in red control. The reality is that republicans voted trump out of office. There was a red wave and it left trump behind.

...wasting no time in disavowing orange Mussolini.

blood sacrifice.

OK, leave us Jews out of this.

Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore is waving the white flag on the 2020 presidential election.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Moore encouraged Trump to accept that he lost the election and instead focus on doing as much as he can in the final two months of his presidency.

“It’s very depressing to me,” he said. “I would say there’s maybe a 20 percent chance that [Trump’s legal challenges] all will work out. I am convinced the president would have won if the election was a week later than it was… I support using every avenue of legal challenge, but I’m skeptical it’s gonna work.”

Moore is one of only a small number of Trump allies who have publicly questioned his strategy of having attorney Rudy Giuliani fling out wild voter fraud conspiracy that involve George Soros, the Clinton Foundation, the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, and a server in Germany.

Yeah a week later as more news of Operation Warp Speed started rolling in. Maybe.
It's likely why Trump kept claiming a vaccine was weeks away for months already. Because he knew it was crucial to his aim to appear successful - Which could have gone a long way towards helping people ignore how atrociously he managed the outbreak in the US thus far.
This while basically all credit of course goes to the companies who develop the vaccines, and the military who are overseeing the production and distribution.
Much of the vote that did go to him was likely because he kept lying that a vaccine is about to hit the streets, when it was always going to be no earlier than Next year.
It's important to note that they are already bottling it expeditiously - I think even while testing continues. But, in true Trump fashion, little things like logistical constrains never really made it into the debate for him. A vaccine that has not been produced cannot be distributed, because there's nothing to put in boxes and ship out, even if most of the R&D legwork has been done already.
