I first read about this *six months* ago, and posted about it. At the time, it
seemed like it was just one whackjob Nebraska state senator, Bruce Bostelman,
who was going with this bullshit. But once a Republiscum/QAnon lie horse is out
of the barn, it seems *all* Republiscums/QAnon want to ride that horse.

From six months ago:

They only believe the "stolen election"
myth because Trump tells them to believe it.
And, as good cult members, they believe what
their Supreme Leader tells them to believe.
