Trump's arguments depend upon a general ignorance of the process of voting tabulations and subsequent recounts. Trump also depends on his supporters not understanding the United States Constitution. During his rallies for Loeffler and Perdue, as well as in his messages on Twitter, Trump told his followers that there was still a chance to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. He said this all the way through January 6th. According to Trump, all they needed was for "Mike" and Senate Republicans to show some "courage" and "loyalty". This was a lie. After the meeting of the electoral college on Monday December 14th, it was over. There was not a pathway forward to overturning the electoral college results within the framework of the United States Constitution... and yet, Trump stubbornly persisted.
At the heart of everything Trump does is an egotistical nature and an eagerness to lie. At the heart of every Trump supporter is a willingness to believe anything he says, regardless of how ridiculous it is. This is how conspiracy theories are born.... when blind faith and devotion are given to people who say things which couldn't possible be true.
Here is the issue with the Trump extremists. They are not patriots. For four years, I watched Trump blame everything on the media, the FBI, the CIA, Democrats and any Republican that had the temerity to disagree with him. He worked feverishly to create conspiracy theories and a distrust of all American institutions and a belief in only Trump. It is clear that Trump's extremist supporters don't love America. They love only Trump.
