The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

    We should acknowledge the fact that Republicans planned a coup around the same time as Hitler’s beer hall putch. FDR then cut a deal with the fascist Republicans to temporarily pass his new deal policies. In exchange for not prosecuting and locking them up.

    Are you talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot ? I didn’t know much about this until I looked it up.

      Yes. It is some of the most sus stuff in US history. That gets glossed over so quick and easy. Typically with history teachers, etc. Never even helping to make people make basic connections surrounding it. It’s just a plot by some businesses that happened. The end. Sketchy as hell That we know it happened. And supposedly there was damning evidence. But we don’t know what any of that evidence was or who all it implicated. Talk about your actual deep state.
