I don't doubt that. I was having a "discussion" ( or a simulacrum of one) with a trumper (trumpette?) during the post-election period who insisted the election was stolen. This was after the 60 lawsuits had been refused or refuted, and I kept asking, where's the proof? Why isn't it presented in court? He was, and is, convinced the courts are rigged against trump and not valid. This is why I'd love to see an in depth study done. I don't think it would convince my acquaintance, but I think such a resource could be used to quiet the "legitimate" media sources and personalities who profit from amplifying the Lie, and so erode its credibility.

I get it that logistically it's a dead issue. That horse has left the barn, and the time needed to produce such a report would render its impact on perceptions muted at best. Still, a man can dream!
