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.

    Giving a voice to everyone via the internet may have looked good on paper but in reality it has shown that too many people shouldn’t have a voice.

    Fear isn’t new though. Everyone thought everyone else was a Soviet spy or secretly a communist in the 50s.

      I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily that too many people shouldn’t have a voice. Just that too many of the people who shouldn’t have much of a voice or any at all are the ones who really want to have one, often times.
