Fox News' Jesse Watters defended former President Donald Trump's "legal right" to submit slates of fake electors to states following the 2020 election.
So, let me get this straight: Fox news, the republicans, Trumpers, ect. are arguing that “Sleepy” Joe Biden is allowed to submit fake electors to congress, no matter the votes for Trump, and KAMALA HARRIS gets to declare herself and Biden the winners of the next election? The Republicans are okay with this very legal series of events?
Of course not. They’re saying it’s okay when they do it.
This is not a snarky reply. This is a fact we need to stop treating as obscure or questionable. Stop pretending their bullshit exists in any worldview where fairness applies. Don’t even do it rhetorically. It is an obstacle to internalizing how conservatives think.
It’s simple and it’s nonsense and it’s terrifying.
Meanwhile Trump is out there telling people to vote for him while also claiming that the votes don’t matter because Republicans should just decide who wins.
No see, they’re Democrats. In/out-group behavior explains this perfectly. A member of the in-group can do no wrong, while a member of the out-group is never right. Instead of logic, the GOP functions mostly on tribalism and feelings, with classism and racism being two forms they use to appeal to the base. Religion being another. It’s not about a consistent philosophy. It’s about how it feels in the moment and does it help with the feeling of fear.

That’s different, cuz she’s… “urban” /s
These are not intelligent people.

It’s like FOX learned nothing from the fallout of the Dominion lawsuit
