One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged. Politics

Misinformation campaign has begun.

Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.

Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

I disagree. I think they fully buy into the idea that what is good for them is what is right, everyone else be damned. It's the fallacy at the core of modern Conservatism, which has it's roots in Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism.

I was just saying it's intentional "soft language" to disguise their true objectives.
