tea,

This is not really that surprising. Trump’s line is that Biden “stole” the 2020 election. People who believe the big lie actually think that Biden circumvented democracy. There’s no clear thing to fix this, that I can think of.

The only good thing with this in my mind is that, in their minds, they think they’re protecting democracy by voting for Trump, which means, if you take away the lies and fraud, the norms/belief/expectations of democracy including peaceful of transfer of power and regular elections are still expected to happen. Once the liars stop lying to them, our democracy should kind of self correct. The downside is they’re too far invested in Trump to recognize that democracy might be taken from them by a dictator and they’ll believe they still have power.

Our best hope is that, once Trump dies or is out of the picture, no one else can capture their imagination the way he has and he was a one-off. However it’s a big country and I think Trump might be just a blueprint for someone with higher aspirations than just narcissistic personal benefit.

tea,

I made my PC work by pressing the power button. Linux devs made it work by writing and releasing Linux and countless utilities and applications. Let’s call it a draw.

tea,

I’d be surprised if they didn’t.

tea,

Keychron K17 is a really nice compromise and very compact for what you get. It isn’t every key, but really close. I just set mine up and remapped the pause, end, scroll lock, etc to function enabled keys. Works great!
