On his way out the door, Trump will still be insisting that the election was rigged and the Democrats stole it through massive fraud involving absentee ballots ⤵️

Here's how to understand that particular lie.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders argued that Trump’s lies actually point out deeper truths:

Essentially she was saying that Trump's lies are metaphorically true.

One example of that is birtherism.

Birtherism was a provable lie, but Obama—a Black man with a foreign-sounding name—wasn’t a “real” American.

The mail-in ballot fraud lie serves a similar purpose, which is why the Republican leadership is not speaking up . . .

That's why the GOP leadership isn't speaking up, even though they know Trump is lying. They know mail-in balloting doesn't encourage widespread fraud.

It encourages widespread voting.
People who (in their minds) shouldn't vote will vote in large numbers. https://twitter.com/Teri_Kanefield/status/1326007428178087937
