Do you ever consider that a political loss might not be the result of a conspiracy?

Collusion, fraud, whatever it may be. Are these just scapegoats? Do we not want to face the reality that sometimes the people choose someone we don't like?
By alluding to or blaming a "Conspiracy" then the LOSER can divert attention away from their incompetence and incomprehensible idiocy!

Reality then becomes whatever THEY can convince us to swallow!

They know damned well they're Lying and probably had the Lies ready, prepackaged and focus group tested beforehand for whichever Loser needed to utter them!

Scapegoating is a Science!

Have you considered that when every national intelligence agency, as well as several allied nations, all say there was external interference, it might be prudent to listen to them?

@OggggO Not to mention:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/12/us/politics/russia-facebook-election.html

[quote]A report by the Russian media outlet RBC last March, however, identified the Secured Borders page as the work of the Internet Research Agency, a St. Petersburg firm that employs hundreds of so-called trolls to post material in support of Russian government policies. A Facebook official confirmed that Secured Borders was removed in the purge of Russian fakes.

The Secured Borders page, a search for archived images shows, [b]spent months posing as an American activist group and spreading provocative messages on Facebook calling immigrants “scum” and “freeloaders,” linking refugees to crime and praising President Trump’s tough line on immigration.[/b] The page attracted more than 133,000 followers before it was shut down.[/quote]

[quote]It also promoted the Aug. 27, 2016, meeting in Twin Falls, called “Citizens before refugees,” which was first reported by The Daily Beast. The call came amid incendiary claims, linking Muslim refugees in Twin Falls to crime, that circulated on far-right websites last year. In May, Alex Jones, of the conspiracy site Infowars.com, retracted a claim that the Twin Falls yogurt company Chobani, which had made a point of hiring refugees, had been “caught importing migrant rapists.”

Shawn Barigar, the mayor of Twin Falls, said that the City Council Chambers, where the supposed meeting was called on a Saturday, were closed that day and that officials did not recall any gathering. But he said that after two years of “robust debate” over the city’s refugee resettlement program, which dates to the 1980s, it was “kind of surreal” to discover that Russia had joined in.

“I kind of thought, ‘Well, that’s an interesting twist,’” Mr. Barigar said. He said the program “represents our core values as a community — welcoming others and learning from one another.” He said immigrants had not caused disproportionate problems there.[/quote]

Or the electoral college chooses someone who lost the popular vote.😕

@Bean17 And I'm stating the fact that we've had the electoral system and not once did that translate into "the people don't choose the president" until Hillary lost and Her supporters couldn't deal with that reality.
Bean17 · 46-50, F
That’s not true. It’s happened 4 times, and as recently as 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but ended up losing the election to Bush thanks to the electoral college. It’s always been the most egregious fault in the system.@Sicarium

@Bean17 So you ackowledge that we've had an electoral system, all candidates know it going in, and whining now is just whining for the sake of whining. Great.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
You should talk to Trump about conspiracies, he re-tweets many of them.

I am totally on board with the concept that who EVER is elected to the Presidency, at least half the people in the country will be completely miserable. What has changed, however, is the polarization. Extremism is the new norm. I've never heard from so many nuts and hysterics and fuzzy thinkers in my life. I just didn't know education had failed us so completely.

@KneAuxBody Oh come on...it isn't that bad. People won't be so fat anymore, because they will all join Weight Watchers.
@4meAndyou I will Not!

Even if there's Fat Police pointing a organic banana at me!

@KneAuxBody LOLOL!!! There will be a new government bureau...the Fatties Bureau of Investigators....LOL!!!

I always consider that the people might have chosen someone other than the one I chose. And the dems always cheat. Always.

@katielass I'll be rejoicing when the last of your deluded generation dies off. Don't you have some heroin to overdose on? That's all people in white America are good for.

@SW-User You'll eat those words dumb fuck.

@katielass I'm sorry, I think I hear your fellow constituents overdosing in a drug den. That's the future of the red states right there!

Dems ran Hillary Clinton, thats why we lost..
@SW-User Nah!

SW-User
@KneAuxBody I cant stand that elitist self entitled bitch but rather her than the fucking narcissistic moron we have now
@SW-User That witch! HA!
Hillary ... she's more narcissistic than Trump, Obama, Kanye West & Bill Clinton combined!

He's no moron, it is just that he doesn't have decades of Ambitious Cutthroat Political Savy bolstering the Filter between his brain and mouth...

And like any Old Guy, he generally just speaks his mind, and so just Hell be Damned with WTF anyone else thinks!

When the results are close, the tiebreaker will always be something that makes democracy look bad
