The Mike Lindell delusion originally had today as the reinstatement day, but it has again been pushed back, this time to September. Perhaps then there won’t be a turd in the Kool-Aid bowl.
It might now be more apt to say the con has imploded spectacularly.
Lindell has pushed many false, baseless and crazy theories about voter fraud, but the symposium was billed as focusing on one in particular: “irrefutable” proof that hackers backed by China stole the election for Joe Biden. Lindell had the data, and he was going to show it to you over 72 hours. What’s more, his website promised to give $5 million to anybody who could “prove that Mike’s cyber data … is not valid.”

In the latest Economist/YouGov poll, a sizable percentage of the public – and nearly three in four Republicans (77%) – say they do not accept his election and believe he was not legitimately elected president. The size of GOP doubt about President Biden’s election has not changed appreciably since his inauguration. Overall, more than a third of the public (38%) today are election doubters.

(2017)
A strong majority of registered voters say they don’t believe Democrats have accepted that President Trump won the election fairly or that he is a legitimate president.
According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll provided exclusively to The Hill, 68 percent of voters said Democrats have not accepted that Trump won fairly and is a legitimate president.
That figure includes 69 percent of Republicans, 69 percent of independents and 65 percent of Democrats.
Only four months into Trump’s presidency, Democrats have openly discussed impeachment and have accused the president of colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, as well as trying to block investigations into the matter.

(2021) In nearly identical numbers, partisans felt their candidate won fairly and the other guy did not. Remarkably, only 19% of the country believed that both Biden and Trump won their elections fairly.
Winston told Secrets that 62% of Democrats believe Trump was elected “because of Russian interference” and that 61% of Republicans believe Biden was elected because of fraud.
And both sides — 87% of Democrats and 82% of Republicans — believe their guy won fairly. Slight majorities of independents said both Trump and Biden won fairly.
