*Of course* they know Trump lost (a recording of the committee was saying the same as I typed). But they say the words anyway because it's a qualification of membership. So intense is the need to belong that the plain truth recedes to the background. That membership is promoted by the necessity of homogenity.

We are not like that.

Just look at us here. You and I disagree. We don't attack each other for it. We don't call each other names. We continue to respect each other.

(I hope)
