Republicans Only: Do You Believe President Biden was Legitimately Elected?

[Frodo]

It has become a litmus test apparently (just ask Liz Cheney, among others), so I have to ask...

Oh, and if you are an independent, but identify more with the Republican Party, you can count yourself as being a Republican.  

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Yes. Joe Biden was elected in the most secure election we have ever had.

End of discussion.

[beesley]

Most of the Republicans here bar a select few are well... reasonably rational.

Why is it okay to delegitimize an election that was decided by 55,000 votes (GA 2018), but not ask questions about an election that was decided by a combined 40,000 votes (10 thousand vote difference in AZ & GA, 20 thousand vote difference in WI - with these 3 states narrowly flipping the 269-269 scenario would happen which would have Trump winning due to the house delegations being R)...?

I don’t think anyone is seriously delegitimizing GA-GOV 2018, and anyone who is is clearly wrong. It isn’t wrong to ask questions or want to ensure the votes were counted honestly and fairly, but like...there was an official recount in WI. There was no change. Yes the election was very close but Trump lost, and it only hurts your own credibility to go from ‘Trump won, get over it’ in 2016 to screaming and crying and refusing to accept the results in 2020.

Plus it’s hard to take ‘questions’ seriously post-insurrection, it’s hard to believe anyone is operating in good faith after that, even if they had nothing to do personally with the insurrection.

No one delegitimize the GA 2018 race. No one doubts that Brian Kemp got more votes than Stacy Abrams.

The problem was purges to voter rolls before the election along with long lines in black areas in Atlanta. Both were controlled by Brain Kemp who was Secrecatary of State of Georgia before the election

No one delegitimize the results. Many think the result was unfair, but no one is saying that Brian Kemp is the legitimate governor of Georgia

What the GOP are doing with the 2020 Presidential race are saying that Trump got more raw votes. That is delegitimized the election

[Libertas Vel Mors]

Yes.

BTW I voted yes by accident.

* Fails to keep promise to leave forum for a year
* Believes Joe Biden was illegitimately elected
* Can't click the correct option in a simple forum poll

We got a real winner here, folks.

Tbf he technically clicked the correct option

[Real Texan Politics]

Maybe some minor shenanigans here and there, but yes Biden was legitimately elected.

Does that mean I like him? No. But he's still the president whether we like it or not.

[ElectionsGuy]

Why do we have a poll here for a forum where even the Republicans here believe Joe Biden won? I mean only 3 people thought it was rigged? I get it, most of the Republican base believes the garbage, and it was aggressively peddled by the sitting president, and it resulted in a riot that was awful, but next to nobody on this forum believes it.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton called Trump an illegitimate president and promoted the conspiracy that Russia colluded with Trump's campaign. The lamestream media pushed the Russia collusion hoax for years. It became part of their agenda in Congress once they took back the House. No accounts were taken down, no Tweets were labeled "misinformation". The result: Most Democrats believed Russia not only was involved but literally altered the vote count of the 2016 election.

The difference is that you don't see Fox News still obsessed over the election, they're moving on to other things. The only people that still care are the cranks who are in their silos of Rumble/Bitchute/whatever. The audits are happening, but if you trust the integrity of an election why would you be concerned with an audit? The Democrat's behavior over the last four years can only lead me to believe that they would not have accepted a Trump re-election victory. They would've used the idea of voter suppression of vote-by-mail, especially with the mailbox conspiracies that many threw out there months before the election, as a predicate for their case that the election was illegitimate. And we'd probably have a decent segment of this forum that would believe it, since the D's here are way more partisan than the R's. I'll be generous though and say less Democrats here would believe it than the D base nationally. Generally, the broad base of party support is more likely to eat up the toxic propaganda that's put out there by their leaders.

Regardless, this behavior is signaling a regression of trust necessary in a healthy society. Why do these theories develop? Because people literally cannot accept and grapple with the fact that their candidate lost fair and square in a very important and high stakes election. With that said, I'm severely worried about the future of this country.

Stacey Abrams herself delegitimizes the GA 2018 race, since she has yet to concede that she lost.  In the speech she gave a full ten days after Kemp won acknowledging the outcome she said it was "not a speech of concession."  Nonetheless, she was paraded around by national Democrats as a potential presidential candidate, VP or cabinet pick and is now being laid out the red carpet to run for GA-GOV again in 2022.

That the MSM is unable to see that "both sides" are just as equally toxic to our democratic norms and values show how debased and uncritical our political debates have become.

Stacy Abrams never claimed she won more raw votes than Brain Kemp. She said he rat ed the election and refused to concede because his actions were low down. But she never delegitimized that

While I do agree that from 2019-2020 she was paraded around. But you know what? She handed Democrats the White House and senate. Not many "losers" would do that. Most would go on cable news or get book deals. She deserves the governorship and praise.

Republicans here are not representatives of Republicans as a whole.
Either way who cares, a third to 4/10 of the country thinks the election was stolen, you can't make assumptions off it.

Most likely actually clicked No, but doing the ol' "claim to have accidentally misvoted" trick in order to get people to mentally the results even more toward his favored option.

Now you’re just trolling lmfao

[Chips]

Not a Republican but yes. Just as Trump was legitimately elected in 2016, Biden was legitimately elected in 2020.
