This is right from Trump's playbook, lie until you create an alternate reality. Just like the "Big Lie."
A large segment of our population believeds the election was rigged because Trump said so and the conservative media echo chamber repeated it as fact. There is no evidence to support election fraud. But the facts are are found on the bottom of page seven, Section D, the lie is shouted from the rooftops. Our electorate is so gullible that it works, "alternate facts."
