"More than his conviction of sexual assault – in truth a rape – and his
multiple indictments, Donald Trump’s most grievous fault has been his attempt
at obstructing the democratic transfer of power by encouraging his supporters
to violently oppose the certification of the election in 2021, and his
continuous false claim that he, in fact, won in 2020.
Trump’s diehard supporters once again see him as the victim of a “witch hunt”,
just as they did during the two impeachments he faced – it’s because he was
taking on a “corrupt system”, they believe. Trump has used his legal troubles
to raise millions of dollars, a large part of which has gone to pay his defence
lawyers rather than fund his presidential campaign. Despite this, he has risen
in the Republican primaries and could well become the GOP’s candidate in the
November 2024 election.
So how can we explain that tens of millions of Americans continue to adhere to
this narrative of the stolen election, despite numerous studies demonstrating
its utter falsehood?"
