Absolutely not. However, I want TRUTH and RECEIPTS. So much of the hopium was people larping and just making shit up on the fly. Then stuff doesn't happen voer and over and over and over and over and over.

How does one distinguish between what's real, and what's fabricated nonsense, if we're not "allowed" to call out when something has NO PROOF? I thought we cared about truth? If we don't care about truth, then nothing we say or believe matters.

Well, if you believe literally anything on the planet that fits your narrative it wouldn't matter if the election was stolen or not, just whether it fits your narrative. You'll happily tell others the evidence which is flimsy and easily disproven, and they'll look into it, and realize the evidence is weak, and ignore you. It also makes you susceptible to misinformation fed to us by our enemies. Make no mistake patriotic q-supporters participated in the attack on the capital thinking they were helping Trump, but in effect caused MASSIVE harm. Sure, Antifa was there too, but the lack of critical thinking some actual Trump supporters to be involved in an action that harmed our movement.

Conversely, there absolutely is VERY strong evidence the election was stolen, and you could be sharing THAT evidence instead, and maybe convince a few people, or make those who disagree look like absolute morons.

We may have very well lost any election contests, because ALL of the attention shifted to the stuff that was more flimsy and fantastical. Meanwhile the irrefutable stuff was ignored. Some of the Woods/Powell stuff was true, others was false, but enough of it was unprovable it made it VERY easy to point out the flaws and throw out the entire case. Meanwhile, Trump's cases got no attention and weren't really heard by courts.

Last thing I want to do is kill positivity. Remember there are at least 75 million of us (probably a LOT more), and even people like me who think the Q-larps are full of shit think the election was stolen by several million votes. Everyone knows this government is illegitimate. Everyone knows the polls were fake. Everyone knows the establishment is freaking out and behaving irrational because they feel threatened.

I'm not selling hopium, nor am I selling doom. I'm selling realism. I'm selling rationality, creativity, innovation ... WE need to be the warriors fighting for populism. Trump is just one guy, one guy who was backstabbed a LOT, and had little support. It's impressive he got as far as he did, and accomplished as much as he did. He didn't drain the swamp, so much as he revealed the swamp.

What can we do about it? Use your unique skills. I'm starting an alt-tech platform myself. Other people need to run for office. Other people need to write articles or start podcasts. Other people need to catalogue swamp-creature behavior, so it can be un-memory-holed the time the next election rolls around. Other people need to hassle local governments into improving election integrity, or become in-charge of that ourselves. Others need to create memes, signs, and flags.
