Their math is different and they don’t believe in science.

A lot of republicans think schools and universities are controlled by socialists so any wonder they have their own "science"

When you are the type of person who believes that a single vote by a wealthy white Christian male should count more than a single vote by anyone else, anything other than a total rout is a landslide victory.

Yes along with the "one drop" rule you also had the 3/5 rule.

This, as well as a system of many other rules and customs to keep wealthy, white, Christian males in power -- a system that is eroding and crumbling due to the rise in the numbers of poor people, non-whites, non-Christians, and educated women.

It's about time, don't you think?

"Well it's true" is a BS excuse for expressing prejudice. "Hey man it's the truth, it's a fact those people come from s**thole countries and are poorly educated and are mostly criminals and..."

But saying something is the truth isn't a means to express prejudice when the facts back the truth, as they do with Biden's election despite Republican denial of that fact.

It's much like the excuse commonly used by racists\bigots to "defend" their behaviour, asserting "Anyone who claims to be hurt\offended by the use of <insert derogatory term of choice> is lying"...

Saying "it's true" without providing the "evidence" on which the person making the statement was relying, does nothing to prove the accuracy of the claim.

As to your "denial of fact" assertion: I'm sure you can point out where in the electoral process for the position of President it states that the AP (or some other media organisation) is responsible for declaring the winner, rather than the individual "Secretary of state" (or equivalent) in each state, or that this is determined before recounts\canvassing\legal challenges are finalised. Otherwise, it would appear that it is not the Republicans who are denying facts in your example, but rather those preaturely claiming victory (which still appears likely to occur) - Until the process is completed, he has not "won" nor been "elected as the next President".

Idk which is worse, the false stereotypes a political party uses to build themselves up, or the ones they use to tear the other party down.
