      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Mollie

      Not election fraud in general, but specifically whether this election, decided by tens of thousands of votes across multiple states, was stolen. But there's a reason for that disconnect: we get paid to dig into the weeds & see if the fraud claims can be defended in public.https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1334199645656977409 …

      I haven't seen as big a disconnect between most of "conservative" blue checkmark Twitter and the bulk of average Americans on the right as the massive one there is on concerns regarding election fraud (well, since 2016).

      My own view: I don't *believe* that the claims of a stolen POTUS election are true, & I don't see *evidence* I could use to *prove* those claims are true. Therefore, I decline to argue something I neither believe nor can prove.https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/11/we-should-fight-the-biden-administration-not-bidens-election/ …

      The fact that people decline to argue things they do not believe, or decline to believe things they cannot support with evidence, does not somehow make them un-conservative.

      It is absolutely true that professional commentators sometimes refuse to say things that are widely believed by voters. But if the average voter believes something untrue, there is no cost to their professional credibility. Not so to a columnist who has to lay out an argument.

          Remember "News Organizations" literally blurred out photos of the Senate floor to hide information in January.

          This overstates the virtuosity of columnists. A columnist, like anyone, starts with prior beliefs that, in almost all cases, lead him to his conclusion. Along the way he chooses and emphasizes his evidence based on his convictions. Columns are seldom dispassionate treatises.

          Could you please provide more double negatives to make your argument here more opaque and painful to follow? Maybe you get paid based on the length of time it takes to read a tweet.

          Problem is when you don't tell your listeners what they don't want to hear, because you don't have the guts to tell them nor want to have to deal with their anger whenever their side loses a cause. One doesn't want too many crowd pleasing.
