I wonder even after deciding on this title if it is correct. Maybe gullible is a better descriptor. Former President Trump and his lawyers ran around the United States after the election claiming massive voter fraud. There is no way, they claimed, that he could have lost unless the alleged winners cheated. The software and voting machines must have switched Trump votes to Biden. One attorney alleged she would release the Kracken. Apparently the conspiracy to cheat Mr. Trump out of a second term had tentacles that reached far and wide across the American landscape. She has now been sued by the software and voting machine companies alleging defamation and seeking damages. Her response for the most part boils down to this.
So her defense is that what she said was not true and that reasonable people would not accept those statements as factual. It would appear to me that a significant number of Republicans holding seats in the House and Senate are not reasonable people. The thousands who attended the January 6th rally and stormed the Capital are not reasonable people. It would seem that now that they have been told it was all lies these Republicans would realize they had been duped and accept the fact Trump lost. They do not so they are not reasonable people or they are stupid or perhaps just gullible. All those options leave our country in serious jeopardy.
