The thing about an ideology that becomes wildly delusional is that there’s really no limit to the craziness once the ball gets rolling. If you’re saying insane stuff that is contrary to all evidence, then, what the hell!!! Why not say even more insane stuff that is simply fantasy?
This process is called cumulative radicalization and it is a characteristic of extreme political movements that seize or are on the edge of seizing state power.

The GOP nominee for Nevada elections chief is now pushing a preposterous claim that Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer and Nadler, who all represent staunchly Democratic communities and won their last races by 43 points or more, were not legitimately elected:
Marchant, who has a solid chance to win, has gone from saying the 2020 election was rigged to saying all Nevada victors for 15 years have been installed by a “deep state cabal” to now pushing an ad saying D incumbents in CA and NY didn’t actually win races they won by 50 points.
