After the results of the special election in Alabama, things are trending blue and most people know it.
H'guy:

My avidly left-wing family and friends (I have a fair number of such, after all I work in academe) would very much want to see/hope to see/expect to see just that from Trump. This is because they have already judged him as guilty since they cannot accept that enough of the American people in the right combination of states would actually vote for this asshat.

This kind of rumor reflects their pre-judgement more than it does any known fact or evidentiary train leading to the Oval. They want the parallel to be true and they're salivating at the thought. They want this 'conspiracy' to be true with the fervor of a Rosswell X-files tinfoil hatter.



I myself fall back on Hanlon's Razor and find it a powerful tool in explaining the Trump administration's efforts.


And the Dems truly have no one to blame but themselves. They managed to run a woman who is arguably the ONLY candidate who turned voters across the political spectrum off enough so as to allow Trump's coalition of the disgruntled to eke out an EC win.
