I've been seeing a lot of this on this site.

Someone who's supposed to be on our side says something that they wouldn't say if they were browsing this site for a few hours each day, and excitable people come out in droves claiming angrily that that means they're our enemy. We can count on the fact that your average Republican politician doesn't browse TheDonald for a few hours each day. They will likely not be aware of the full breadth of the fraud. It's not clear what can be done about this except to inform them directly. Most of the time people call their representatives, the caller knows more about the fraud than the politician. Instead of asking them to do something, try instead telling them something they didn't know.

Most recently, Rand Paul being open to the idea that our election was spared from foreign interference. If he isn't aware of any foreign interference, it would be pretty claim there hasn't been any. Don't you think?

Donald Trump is only alone in this fight as long as our would-be allies are hearing anger instead of info.

I have no idea what this sentence even is trying to say so the answer is: no, I don't think.

The edit didn't load properly. I meant to say 'it would be pretty natural to claim there hasn't been any' interference if you aren't aware of any interference.

In that case: yes, it would be natural to claim there hasn't been election interference if one is unaware of it. Now I have to wonder why you think Rand Paul, whom I consider an intelligent and informed man, is so utterly clueless to the obvious.

If he doesn't know about this site, it's pretty safe to say most of the messaging he gets is likely 'no evidence of fraud' gaslighting that you see on Shitter.
