(37,992 posts)that interviewed voters in 7 states and that quantitatively showed they voted for hate? These would have to be studies done since the election. I'd like to read them, so if you don't mind, please provide a link.
Because if you don't have quantitative studies, then putting out an opinion like this "is every BIT as destructive and nonsensical as it is on the right." It makes Democrats look like they're projecting, which is something that we often see on the right. Do you understand why you need a study to attribute motivation?
Also, I don't think most of these posters are claiming "stolen election." All they are asking for is an inquiry--a recount. They haven't drawn conclusions yet. They are merely asking for a recount, which is only common sense when you are dealing with a known criminal like Donald Trump. In fact, you'd be a damn fool to do any transaction with him and expect a straight-up deal.
OTOH, you have a good point about "legally manipulated" not being the same as "stolen," although as I have pointed out, I have not yet seen anyone saying stolen. I do see substantial numbers of people asking for a recount. There's nothing wrong with that.
Legal manipulation, gerrymandering, and voter intimidation are practices they have engaged in that have no doubt had an effect.
