That is horrifying. Of course, the orange mistake has been amplifying that view as hard as possible. He really is the worst possible president, hands down.
Actually it’s not correct. It’s “only” half of republican voters who believe this. That being said, it’s a total mystery for a European like me how an intelligent cartoonist can bring himself to forward what he by now surely must know is completely without substance or proof. Democracy is not a game!!
Show your work, Gary. Where did you get that stat? And out of a place where the sun don’t shine is not a valid source. But let’s say it IS 47% — that means the majority see it as a valid election. So what’s your problem?
Mr. Varvel, perhaps your copy of the latest National Review was delayed in the mail. So as a service to you, at the bottom is a link to their latest editorial, titled “Trump’s Disgraceful Endgame” and immediately below is a snippet from it. I admire their use of “petulant”…
“…make no mistake: The chief driver of the post-election contention of the past several weeks is the petulant refusal of one man to accept the verdict of the American people. The Trump team (and much of the GOP) is working backwards, desperately trying to find something, anything to support the president’s aggrieved feelings, rather than objectively considering the evidence and reacting as warranted.”
I see this comic differently. I see a statement of fact, and only that, and not a specific point being made. It is true that a large percentage of Americans think that the election was car-jacked. I don’t know about the percentage; I do know that 83.2734% of all statistics are made up on the spot. But the truth is there: there are a lot of people who feel that way.
Scary to think that people who will intentionally believe fantasies rather than face facts are reproducing, and possibly in the teaching professions.
I don’t understand how people allow themselves to be sucked into cults. Until recently I was comforted to know that their numbers were small. It’s a big smack in the face to see how wrong I was.
Roughly half of Republicans believe President Trump “rightfully won” the election, with 68 percent saying they had concerns about a “rigged” vote counting process in favor of President-elect Joe Biden, according to a new Reuters-Ipsos opinion poll released Wednesday.
Overall, 73 percent of Americans polled in the Nov. 13-17 survey said they believed Biden won the election, while 5 percent say they thought Trump won. – https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/526464-half-of-republicans-in-new-poll-say-rigged-election-was-stolen-from-trump
According to a new Monmouth University poll, about three in four Republicans now doubt the fairness of the 2020 presidential election, even though there is no evidence that the electoral process was compromised in a way that could affect the outcome. And as you can see in the chart below, distrust among Republicans has skyrocketed since Election Day.Monmouth isn’t the only pollster to find very high levels of distrust among Republicans, either. A YouGov/Economist poll this week found that 73 percent of Republicans had little or no confidence that the election was conducted fairly and a Morning Consult/Politico poll found that 67 percent of Republicans thought that the 2020 election was either “probably” or “definitely” not free and fair.ITS’ IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT ALL THREE POLLSTERS DID FIND A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ACCEPTED THE RESULTS – ROUGHLY 6 IN 10 – but what is worrisome is that only about 4 in 10 said they were very confident that the election was conducted fairly and accurately. – https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/more-republicans-distrust-this-years-election-results-than-democrats-after-2016/
Varvel is either lying, didn’t read the polls correctly, has made up his own poll, or who knows. If he is quoting a real poll, he should cite the source.
And again Varvel only sees what he wants to. He’s such a tool.
While 47% might have voted for the loser in the White House, the number of them that have been conned into actually believing in his claims of fraud is much lower than that.
Gary, you need to get yourself a parrot, and put a little yellow hairpiece on it, then teach it some phrases like “no collusion” and “ fake news” and “ IWon Iwon iwon” and “ Donny wants a cracker“ More Varveldrival! Try a little harder, huh Gar.
And more than 75% of Republicans make up that 47% of Americans. It’s pathetic. Had GOP encouraged mail-in voting instead of trying to disrupt the effectiveness of the post office; things may have gone in a different direction. Heavy emphasis on “may”.
I used to always be the one saying things like “we have to respect each other.” I have gotten people of similar political outlook mad at me for always pushing that belief. But large segments of republican party, conservatives and Christians have made that impossible now. How can you respect people this willfully and intentionally ignorant? The answer is that you can’t.
“Trump has raised up to $170 million SINCE Election Day.”
Typically from small-amount donors – 75% of the money can be used for ANY purpose Trump wants, and 25% is to go to RNC operations (whatever THAT means) begging the question,
Yeah and half of them think chocolate milk comes from brown cows whilst the other half believes the Earth is flat and some of them even believe half of DJT’s lies.

Even the door handles can be electrified to shock those who might try to get inside. So, like the election, it’s pretty much tamper proof.
