Yep
The election fraud shit was the natural path forward for them.
Like, the voters may be ignorant. But the people calling the shots at the Federalist society and other places aren't stupid. They know basic psychology and how to manipulate their voters.
It's less threatening to their worldview to believe that the election was stolen than to question whether their core beliefs are wrong. It's literally a Simpson's "Am I out of touch? No, it's the kids that are wrong" moment
Better example is American History X.
That old ass racist was just brainwashing kids and using them as disposible tools.
That's how Republicans (especially trump) treat their voters.
