Nothing will convince Fryar and many others in Sundown — including the town’s mayor, another Patriots member — that Democrat Joe Biden won the presidential election fairly. They believe Trump’s stream of election-fraud allegations and say they’re preparing for the possibility of a “civil war” with the American political left.
Trump’s legal onslaught has so far flopped, with judges quickly dismissing many cases and his lawyers dropping or withdrawing from others. None of the cases contain allegations — much less evidence — that are likely to invalidate enough votes to overturn the election, election experts say. “I just sent Fox News an e-mail,” Fryar said, telling the network: “You’re the only news I’ve watched for the last six years, but I will not watch you anymore.
“People will come to see we still have a functioning government,” Black said, and Republicans will become “resigned to Biden, and see it’s not the end of the world”. Like many Trump supporters interviewed, Fontaine was deeply suspicious of computerised voting machines. Trump and his allies have alleged, without producing evidence, a grand conspiracy to manipulate votes through the software used in many battleground states.
