Base Less - part the third

Yet another data point demonstrating the size of ex-President AuH2O 2020's true, hard core base.
The public mostly rejects the baseless conspiracy theory behind the rioting -- that Biden did not legitimately win enough votes to become president: 65% say that he did legitimately win enough votes, but a sizable share (23%) -- and particularly among Republicans (58%) -- believe that conspiracy theory to be true and that there is solid evidence to support it.
Viewed one way, that 23% number is below my view of 25% as the hard core base. Viewed another, it's gold in them thar hills for minority rule through the power of the Senate. Ah, to be an autocratic minority!! Well, there's not much better than that, eh what? Jackson and Jefferson would be proud that their notion of shitkicker control of government has finally come to pass.
