Absolutely. Delusional.

I never truly understood how demagogues gained power until this election. I see history in a completely different light now. No matter what you say to these people, they'll either ignore it, or find some other lie to hang their hat on. If you point out the facts, they'll deny the source, or say, "How do YOU know? Did YOU count all the votes?" or some other nonsense.

What's the cure for this? (Not asking OP, he's one of the zombie hoards. He'll go to his deathbed convinced of his own delusions.) We used to just ignore these types of stubborn, brain washed conspiracy theory wackos, but now there's tens of millions of them.

It's truly frightening.
