Considering trump lost over 60 court cases for not being able to produce a single shred of evidence of election fraud, I’m afraid the answer is no, the republicans do not in fact have any idea what facts are. And they love to cry about it.
I was pondering this only this morning. How cynical they have to be to lie so blatantly and know their followers will eat it up. And the contempt they must have for their base of idiots, knowing how easily they are led.
I'm sure a lot of them know what fraud is, unless it's more of a Kevin Malone situation where he has to have insider trading explained multiple times "because it sounds a lot like what I do every day"
