MODERATORS
I'm not following that logic. If he tells everyone not to vote, and most comply meaning only a few vote, wouldn't the majority of them who didn't vote see the low results and understand that it would be the natural outcome? Where do they think votes come from if they don't vote?
You're assuming they think using logic. You're wrong. They go by emotion, and you can't use logic to reason with them.
Logic: "he lost by a lot, it's wildly unlikely that it could be rigged by that much."
Emotion: "he lost by a lot, that's impossible, NOBODY I know voted for BRANDON, I love Trump so EVERYBODY loves Trump, IT WAS RIGGED!!1!"
Something, something, democrats, something, something, racist dog whistle, something, something, democrats, something, something, Hunter's Biden laptop, something, something.
I imagine when they look at the lines of voters they categorize people into two bins: normal and not-normal. Trump is asking his supporters to do a Rorschach test but citizens are the ink blots and he's specifically telling them to look for scary things. Their Conclusion: If you see lots of normal people and he loses the election, then it's because of those voters that didn't look normal were there to rig the system.
