The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    Coming from the southeast, definitely still a lot of Trump banners and bumper stickers, though less so now. I expect them to be more common as the election gets closer.

    Hard to call it far right anymore. Conspiracy theorists and hate are more or less the norm in conservative circles, so far as I can tell.

      I don’t think they’re conservative. I think republicans have given up on being conservative, and just now fight culture war and spend as much if not more than the dems.

      I’ve been trying to be diligent about not conflating republicans and conservatives anymore, they haven’t been conservative in awhile. Republicans have been overwhelmingly blindly following Trump, conservatives haven’t.
