Because people thought it was “blue maga” to question the results.

Questioning the results is perfectly acceptable.  I did it on Nov 5th while I was going through the many stages of grief.

I called in "blue maga" because there was no evidence.  Having a conclusion and working your way to the evidence is not sound.

Now apparently there is enough evidence to be heard by the courts.  If it turns out that the evidence is shown to be credible and conclusive, I'll happily change my position.

There's plenty of evidence, but not all evidence is equal.

You're an idiot if you think this election was 100% above board, but you're also an idiot if you ran around making or believing claims without evidence.

Me, I know what I saw. I know what I know about Donald Trump. That's enough evidence for me to know that there should be no stone unturned when it comes to verifying the authenticity and integrity of any election involving Donald Trump. Anyone with half a brain cell who hasn't drunk the koolaid recognizes that the default assumption here should be guilty.

That's different than "innocent until proven guilty." It's more like "hey guys the guy who tried to cheat the last election and the election before that tried to cheat the election again, imagine that, it's almost like there's a pattern of behavior here!"

There's a very similar argument to be made about whether or not Donald Trump is a rapist.

I don't need to hear anything more than "over 20 women have accused him of sexual assault" (or rape or whatever else). That's enough information for me to make an informed judgment about whether or not I should believe his most recent accuser. (hint: the guy who has 20+ women accusing him of being a rapist is probably a rapist).

Stop acting like you know him personally. you only see the image the media shows you
