Good to see an expanded response, Erick, but I'm still left with the feeling that you don't think very highly of your readers/listeners/followers. It hasn't been the "first reaction" of folks I know (of a Rightish bent) to claim that the election has been stolen. I am seeing a lot of healthy skepticism that the processes are unfolding…
Good to see an expanded response, Erick, but I'm still left with the feeling that you don't think very highly of your readers/listeners/followers. It hasn't been the "first reaction" of folks I know (of a Rightish bent) to claim that the election has been stolen. I am seeing a lot of healthy skepticism that the processes are unfolding on the up-and-up, and that seems perfectly normal, especially given the Democrats' infamous history of election...activities.
Anecdotal, but watching friends on social media I will report that (even the loudest) Trump supporters are staying fairly quiet so far, it's the Lefties who seem the most...disgruntled, to put it mildly.
It is "wait and see" time - gather evidence of "errors" as the presents themselves, make the case where it matters (i.e. *not* in MSM or public opinion but in court), decide from that point whether the various cases of irregularity are getting the serious consideration they should.
At some level, we are in the hands of lawyers and judges during these periods, hoping (praying?) there will be some measure of objectivity at the end of the judicial process regarding election irregularities. Up to that point, yelling and screaming about "fair" as the left does is meaningless. Conservatives are not Antifa. Riots are a leftist tool, not a tool of the conservatives.
By comparison to Occupy xxx, Antifa, BLM et al? Care to cite equivalent misbehavior either in size, scope or grand larceny from conservatives in the last, I dunno, 50 years?

Since when? The right has turned to armed confrontation many times in recent years.
