Fewer than half of Republicans say they are willing to accept the results of the 2020 election — a number that has remained virtually unchanged since a NPR/Ipsos poll asked the same question last January.

Acosta Republicans don’t think. They just follow their leader

Perhaps this comes from so much airtime given to people spreading lies about the election. The old saying that if you repeat something enough times—even lies— people will come to believe it. We need your help to debunk these beliefs.

Acosta love the xi thing kiss the hand bow greed mao stalin lenin adolf

Stop asking them.

He lost!!!

Acosta Which is clear evidence that fewer than half of the Republicans are Patriots, and that fewer than half of them are willing to lie to suit their own agenda!

This headline is very misleading & does not represent a true sampling of Americans. I luv NPR but PLZ stop focusing on the results of one poll in your reports.

That's better than the 10/10 it was a year ago. Thank goodness Trumpism is dwindling.

How sick and scary is that-talk about uninformed ignorant people who are destroying our country and all it has stood for and all those who fought and died to preserve the constitution and the Union -It is like Germany in the 1930, substitute they names Hitler with Trump

A lot of kids believe Sana Clause is real too but that doesn’t make it true.

It’s not a lie. There is corruption in our election system.

Acosta Forget about Covid ignorance & intolerance is what we need to fight. Worse than any virus nature can come up with.

Good GRIEF!! And these are the people running our country!!!

Anyone have the NPR tweets back from Jan 2018 on the willingness of Dems to accept the results of the 2016 election?

So they don't accept it. The Dems didn't accept Trump. Nobody excepts anything including Stacy.

If all Democrats and half of Republicans vote yes on the voting rights bill, we are good. Surely half of Republicans are for the people they represent.

Acosta They’re contrarian republicans

Because neither major party listens

Acosta How many democrats still believe the 2016 election was stolen by Russia? How many tax dollars were spent investigating that lie that undermines the legitimacy of our democracy?

do your job of providing correct information to the public.

Acosta Do the people polled actually vote?

Acosta Low and behold it's the same as those with an IQ under 86 %

Acosta And every registered Republican participated in this poll? If not where and how was the poll conducted?

Acosta So if this is the case, they can't accept the results from when their GQP member won. You don't get to pick and chose which are good and which are bad since the ballots contained all elections.

Acosta Can you pull the same numbers fro Dems in 2016.

Acosta The big lie continues because the media keeps pacifying idiots who don’t accept the truth. Stop giving them energy.

Jan. 6,A day that will live in Infamy. Just like Pearl Harbor? USA was attacked. But, this time the Enemy was a Group of Domestic Terrorist. Determine to Overthrow the USA. To kill American Political Leader’s & install a Dictator. Like in China or Russia. Cap. Police stopped them

The Left keep saying nothing bad happened while replacing the legal fact of, Evidence Not Heard with “No Evidence Found” as if the two were interchangeable. The squelched media environment of Biden’s bankrupt humanity being protected plus screwed election standards=no confidence

Reality is a fact, not a matter of choice. You cannot 'accept' or 'not accept' it. You can try to change it, you can lie to yourself about it, you can manipulate it, but you cannot decide to accept it or not. If that's how you feel, you urgently need psychological help.

They can say whatever they want, but by their actions, it's clear that 99.99% of Republicans accept the results of the 2020 election.

The great divide.

Defund NPR.

It's so funny how quick People forgot about the 2016 election. What percentage of democrats excepted those results again 🤔

why don't you ask HOW THEY BELIEVE it was stolen. In what ways. One ballot One Voter. DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS to ask

THIS FROM DEMOCRATS

Maybe they should ask the question in these polls that how did any Republican politician win yet the president didn’t, I’m sure they will lie like they always do and come up with some BS excuse, but that’s who this party is a bunch of unethical immoral liars!

Send the 2/3 back to school or to a civics class

Democracy IS in crisis, due largely to leftist outlets like NPR endlessly pushing “the big lie” that nothing sneaky and corrupt happened in the 2020 election. And yet:

How many democrats never accepted Trump as president?

Uneducated and primed for violence because they took all the GOP politician “tough talk” seriously for decades. Too bad those politicians were just stringing their supporters along for their vote. It’s all fun and games til your lies put democracy on the line.

Fox News is poison. FoxNews

How many democrats excepted the results of the 2016 election? I’ll wait.

Will NPR admit this is a political investigation? Not a true endeavor to get to the facts/truth. MSM refusing to acknowledge/report the political agenda of this “investigation”is a HUGE problem! But NPR know this.

Can we please stop calling them Republicans? They’re fascists. I’m a Republican and I would never vote trump or support the destruction of our democracy or country. Please, they are not republicans or patriots.

Independents think it’s Bullshit also

What’s with this constant talking point? Who cares, it’s over, Biden is currently running the country…. How about discussing things that matter now?

Stupidity. Blind stupidity.

The group who is most responsible for eroding democracy - Republicans - is the same group most likely to believe it's in danger. That's rich.

The bigger the swindle the stronger the belief in it. The belief serves as a social bond.

The Republicans love a person like we see at Proverbs 6:12-19.

npr is truly the EnemyOfThePeople when they can call a belief by a large number of citizens a “big lie”. If any of you on the left truly wanted to unite or instill confidence in elections, you would demand thorough investigations and transparency.

This confirms my deepest fears. Happy new year! 🤮

melissablock Still upset about Stacy Abrams.

THE ONES THAT DONT WANT TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH. LET THEM CONTINUE TO LIVE IN DELLUSION.

So…. 101 out of 200? Are there any republicans left?

“When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.”

Have they been asked if their election wins in 2020 are legitimate?😤 The media is an abject FAILURE. They fail to ask the more important questions on the daily 😠

We all know President Trump won the election.

Biden voter here. It was a big trick, we were all in on it. All the ballots were rigged. I have detailed info on it, but won’t share. We got ya bitches!

I heard this report on-air. But there are more unaffiliated voters than there are registered Repubs & Dems combined. I was hoping to hear stats on where they stand. Not all conservatives are R's (& tax funded primaries in public buildings closed to nonpartisan isnt fair.)

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

These people stopped believing in democracy the moment that Black Americans started voting.

MAGA

Because these people are BRAINWASHED by the real fake news outlets. Until they are gone, we will NEVER get over this divide.

It's funny the party of 'Hillary lost get over it,' still can't can't past that Trump lost! Oh the hypocrisy!

You’re asking the WRONG QUESTIONS. This has nothing to do with “accepting the results.” Stop playing into this...play. Republican politicians know the election was legitimate, ALL of them! They convicted their base to believe the lie. The MEDIA needs to STOP playing along!

Why don't stories on Jan 6th demand elected officials be held accountable? Protect our safety! Silence is complicity; it enables health and political disinformation that relies on violence and ignorance to carry out its agenda. Media SHOULD be the arch enemy of disinformation.

80 years of hemp cannabis prohibition. I’m editing for the world to see. 🗺 👀

.... 'not my president' was trending for almost two entire fucking years starting in 2016. Holy shit.

I think I have to book an appointment before I come in; or is it first come, first serve?

Who cares what they think,next

So only half of the Elected Republicans are actually Republicans. The rest are Trumplicans. Big difference.

Too many of the people saying democracy is at risk are themselves the principal risk to democracy. They have guns, they think storming the Capitol is funny, and they believe Trump was sent by an imaginary deity in the sky.

Mass hysteria

6 in 10 Americans are unhinged.

When you get millions of non whites voting... To racist in our society and government yes the election to them is stolen.

So a minority are still delusional.

excepting but not by far note we're not alone although continue by your own will to do so keep noted you won't be cashing in yours or their pensions $. 6 Since 11 I'll leave then,m 18 Ain't them for dam sure 20 To Win these inside Mysteries = Fifty Five Fits the High☆est.

More importantly, will their actions match their beliefs. Can that 60% defend the Constitution?

How many of these Republicans were elected/re-elected on the same ballot they are not accepting

Naturally though, 100% would accept the results if the Reps won.

Less than half of the smallest US political party

Fewer than half of Republicans believe in American democracy, favoring instead a theocratic white nationalist authoritarian form of government.

That’s almost the number of mentally challenged Americans. To get the total add in 8 more. That would be Bernie, the squad and Liz. 😂

NPR stop promoting this stupidity and move-on. Why poll this? The election is over Biden is President. MOVE-ON!!

Believing in Republican policies should not equate to supporting criminal behavior. Blind faith in the party will only damage it in the long run.

'Fewer than half' of Republicans live in reality. The rest have accepted a man that spray paints himself orange as their messiah.

I think these stories should start by letting people know that only 31% of Americans (per GallupNews) identify as Republicans. Puts these figures in greater context.

What is the number of republicans still in the party?

On Thursday it’ll be ONE YEAR since the insurrection. The warnings about it in the thread below began on Nov. 11, 2020, eight weeks before the insurrection. The threat continues & so do the warnings. Please read & watch the thread below. NoOneUnscripted
