Current narrative: Republicans have lost faith in elections! How horrible!
Background: Mainstream Democrats have been pushing various "stolen election" stories at least since 2000. But apparently that doesn't count.
Addendum: Once a narrative is established, it sticks. (Lie, world, truth, boots.) People are still misrepresenting the Flint, MI water problem. Reminder: the water was fine when it left the waterworks. It was fine at the curb. Owing to municipal incompetence, it didn't have the right additives to cope with the old plumbing in old houses in old neighborhoods - so houses with lead in the plumbing ended up with lead dissolved in the water. In newer buildings, the tap water didn't have the lead contamination.
Alas, the truth of any matter is generally of boring complexity: too long to fit on a bumper sticker, and not contorted enough for a proper conspiracy theory.
