  1. Ah, the scholarly chin-whiskered chap clearly belongs in the camp of empiricism and not rationalism: he seems willing to believe only what his own extremely limited experience presents to his highly suggestible mind. He believes that what he imagines that he perceived--or, rather, what his brain interpreted from the limited, decontextualized data it received--constitutes "the truth." And, more troubling, is his faith that his very limited experiences--what legal types call "anecdotal"--can be extrapolated on a grand scale, grand enough to permit him to condemn an entire electoral system from minuscule bits of interpreted occurrences. From little snippets--confined to one very specific location--can a great cloth be constructed. Mountains from molehills. Global conspiracies from what he observed and interpreted as irregularities during the terrible brief time that he was present in one singular polling place...But he's not--as he's quick to interject--"a conspiracy theorist." Interesting, too, is the fact that this average Joe had no knowledge that Trump's appointee, Chris Krebs, the nonpartisan director of CISA, had certified the election as "...the most secure in American history," a statement supported by the FBI'S Christopher Wray, another Trump appointee. And when pressed on this issue, Mr. Average Citizen said that he doesn't pay attention to "supposition," only facts. (Read: "Only what I observed/experienced directly in my very small sphere/bubble.") So for this chap to be enlightened would require transporting him to every state--and several randomly chosen polling places within each state--on Election Day so that his untrained eyes could see firsthand what transpired. Oh, and it would absolutely require unplugging him from the feeds of right-wing, pro-Trump propaganda mills. Like weaning a five year old child who has only known breastfeeding for her life to date. Imagine the ghastly howling triggered by such deprivation.
