On election night, at 1 am President Trump was way ahead. The betting markets had his implied probability of victory at (80-90%). Than they stopped counting ballots and a couple hours later the numbers got screwed up. Is it that hard to believe that they panicked, stopped counting ballots and started manufacturing ballots to catch up? Perhaps I'm wrong but at the minimum this warrants an impartial investigation. Why is this belief crazy? Are people really trying to suggest we should never challenge or investigate election results? What's to top people from cheating then? I'm being distanced by essentially everyone I know for expressing these beliefs.

Mass brainwashing. I don't know why some of us are immune to it. I try to talk to my neighbor about the election and he refuses to acknowledge there was any evidence and just repeats the talking points: no evidence, courts dismissed all the cases, Biden was certified, inaugurated, he's president, get over it.
It's like they can't entertain a single thought that even quietly challenges that belief. You know why? Because that belief is tenuous, at best and talking about it creates cognitive dissonance which, for many people, is very unpleasant.
The purpose of television, entertainment and the media as well as the education system is to destroy the capability of critical thinking, for some this tactic fails, hence this is why we here now.
