\u2026 at the most dangerously and willfully fact-resistant demographic to arise in the United States in my lifetime<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the election were held today, based on the polling averages, Hillary Clinton would win and she already has more than 270 Electoral College votes solidly in her camp. Don\u2019t believe me. Fox News is reporting this.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you do not believe it because you do not want it to be true.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou believe the election is going to be stolen despite the fact that it would take the coordination of over 2 million people keeping it a secret and strategically placing these people in key swing states. You believe Trump is ahead because his rallies are massive, but ignore that Bernie Sanders had massive rallies and lost.
