It's a long read, but it sums things up pretty well

I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x
Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them. 2/x
Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts - that shape their perspective

Here's another reason why Trump supporters don't trust the government. AOC doesn't even know what Capitalism is yet she's is totally against it.

AOC Dragged For Claiming She's Not Using Capitalism, While Describing Capitalism

The only issue I have with this article is that the media likes to tie the distrust of government to Trump. I didn't trust the government long before Trump. He was just the first outsider to go against the swamp at that level.
