For years, former President Donald Trump has been feeding his supporters conspiracy theories about the 2020 election having been stolen or rigged against him, all of which culminated in his now criminally charged plots to overturn the vote, and the subsequent violent attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
But Trump's "big lie" about the election is now mutating, warned columnist Heather Digby Parton for Salon — and it's being used to cover up and gaslight voters about his old lies.
According to a YouGov poll conducted in summer, wrote Parton, just 38 percent of Republicans believe there was a plot to overturn the election at all — and only half of those believe that Trump himself was involved in that plot.

If a voter believes Biden is too old and senile, why would they vote for Trump? He is the same.

This reveals his more significant decompensation and only appeals to his core base.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
That is alarming, she continued, given that all of this completely took place in the open.
"There is simply no doubt that Donald Trump was attempting to overturn the election. They didn't try to hide it," wrote Parton. "139 Republican House members explicitly voted to overturn the results of the electoral college on January 6 at the behest and direction of Donald Trump, even after the violent mob stormed the capitol in an attempt to stop the counting of the certified electoral votes."...
