This is all just part of how North American culture deals with the absurdities of the trump administration - with humour.. because it’s better to laugh than cry.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Why talk about what *actually* happened when you can talk about an imaginary situation that is custom tailored to magically fit with what you believe anyways?

"We have found NO evidence of voter fraud"

To which they reply

"No evidence just PROVES how DEEP the CONSPIRACY is! And if there WAS fraud, here's why THE DEMS would do it! Makes sense to ME, cos *I* made it up!! FACTS!! ! Here's an animation that PROVES what that would have looked like if my fantasies were real! Don't take MY word for it! Some random guy made an animation, so it HAS to be real!"

In the most direct refutation yet of President Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, his own government declared on Thursday that the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.

The joint statement by a group of federal, state and industry election officials was released Thursday evening by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

"There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised", the officials noted.

What ... the election itself or the witch-hunt to find "evidence" to support Mr. Trump's fallacious claims the election was stolen from him?

The term "witch-hunt" was used quite a lot about the 2016 election accusations, investigations and legal proceedings. Are the 2020 election investigations and legal proceedings officially concluded, based on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's finding?

Officially, no.

Practically, it's already a done deal.

Agreed.
But people just have to be patient.
Until the coup happens. :twisted:

I would be more patient if I did not have $500 riding on the official outcome of the election.

None of the Vegas bookies are paying off until the official winner is declared.

Until then, I will just have to be bidin' my time...
