The other big lie that's happening is the delusional groupthink that has infected GOP operatives and politicians. Despite the major and I suspect increasing unpopularity of their freakish actions like the Arizona 'fraudit', they really believe that they can 'win' with voter suppression and election administration manipulations. Because they are talking only with themselves, they have no idea just how much anger and disgust they are generating among everyone else. Let's hope they reap the whirlwind in the 2022 midterms and the 2024 general election.
Speaking of polls, I think republicans who answer them have been yanking on the chains of the pollsters and mainstream media by saying they "believe" the election was stolen by the Democrats. At 60%, you're including educated and affluent people, not just the Q crew. Why wouldn't the average republican lie in support of the party just as easily as Cruz, McCarthy, Gaetz, Graham, and the rest? Before the presidential elections, republicans tended to not participate in polls, which made Biden's lead look stronger than it turned out to be. Now, they're probably eager to talk to pollsters to contribute to the narrative that the majority of republicans believe the "stolen election" BS because it gives their party more leverage.
