What YOU call "fake electors" was actually a LEGAL ploy.

Contingent Electors: They argue that their certificates were intended to be "contingent" or "alternate" electors, to be used ONLY 
IF COURT CHALLENGES TO THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE SUCCESSFUL. They have pointed to a historical precedent in the 1960 election where 
a rival slate of electors was sent from Hawaii.

What's true: Trump told people that IF THEY VOTE BY MAIL, they should also go to polling places to CHECK WHETHER THEIR MAILED-IN 
BALLOT HAD BEEN TABULATED, and if it hadn't: Vote in person.

What's False

Although Trump's advice would functionally result in some people attempting to cast two ballots, the stated goal was to ensure 
people's ballots get counted, NOT TO ELICIT DOUBLE VOTING.

If you're gonna lie, have an escape clause.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
