Why People Think the Election Was Stolen

I remain both astonished and appalled at the number of people who think that the US election was stolen and that Trump actually won. In the New York Times, Ross Douthat attempts to categorize the taxonomy of fraud believers. He groups them into three types.

  • The conspiracy-curious normie
  • The outsider-intellectual
  • The recently radicalized
He offers advice for countering the arguments of each type of believer. 

The article is worth bookmarking for future reference. For myself, I don't bother arguing. If I come across this kind of craziness in my social feeds, I just block or unfriend.
