Lies that Led to 3/4 of the GOP Believing Biden Stole the Election
Systemic change to our information ecosystem is needed
How could we have known MAGA die-hards, amateur militia, and Q faithful would storm the U.S. Capitol?
How could we have known 75% of Republicans would not believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 election?
Who could have imagined that so many people would believe falsehoods so blatant that even Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham have called them out as lies and defended the election’s integrity?
Well, enough people believed birtherism that Trump rode it to political prominence one Fox News phone-in at a time.
Enough people believed a U.S. President could make Mexico pay for a border wall to vote for that promise (and racism).
Enough people believed Trump had the largest inauguration crowd in history because White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said he did.
