    Simpler hypothesis than a massive election conspiracy: Morons are more likely to gather in large groups while a deadly airborne virus is floating around.

    I strongly believe there is a conspiracy of sorts going on. I'll tell you what I think is going on. Trump knows he lost the election. This cannot be plausibly questioned at this point. He knows that he's leaving the White House on January 20, even if the Secret Service has to drag him out of there like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

    These lawsuits and tweets are a distraction so you don't pay attention to the dangerous policies being enacted and moves being made in the final days of the Trump administration. If we're all talking about Trump lying about the election, we're not talking about the damaging economic, public health, foreign relations, and public health actions that this administration is making. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States. Trump is the worst president in the history of the nation, worse than Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, and Warren Harding. George W. Bush was not a good president but he had enough respect for the office and the country to run a first rate transition at the end of his presidency and to defer to the incoming Obama administration about policy.

    You can find many more such articles. But we're not talking about these things because Trump and his associates are working hard to distract us from the damage that they're really doing. Yes, we should be talking about Trump's efforts to sow doubts about the legitimacy of American elections. We just can't let the Trump administration get away with shady actions behind the scenes.

    Yes, I believe there's a conspiracy. But it's a conspiracy run by the incredibly corrupt Trump administration to distract the American people from their crooked and shady dealings before January 20.
