That Joe Biden won the 2020 election is a provable fact. It has been accepted by the majority of Congress, judges and both Republicans and Democrats across the country.
Nonetheless, former President Donald Trump—who has never been too cozy with the truth or acknowledging his many failures—has been spreading the lie the election was "rigged" and stolen from him.
This lead some Republicans who believe Trump above all else to storm the Capitol on January 6, forcing many Republican officials to briefly disavow Trump's rhetoric.
After several months, however, Republicans have flocked back to kiss the ring of Trump, who still has many supporters in the remains of the Republican party.
One conservative who never lost faith in President Trump is businessman Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow.
Lindell's faith in Trump is so strong that—during a recent interview—he was shocked there was anyone who actually believed Joe Biden won the election.
Twitter had to admit they were a little less shocked than Lindell.

We can no longer laugh at this guy. He is in dire need of help and a tragedy waiting to happen.— Julie Stephenson (@Julie Stephenson) 1620835358
Well obviously there's people that actually still think Biden won. The courts think that, the state governments think that, the military thinks that, the secret service thinks that... But Mike Lindell... he's in possession of \ud835\udc12\ud835\udc0f\ud835\udc04\ud835\udc02\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc00\ud835\udc0b knowledge.— Jenny Tokumei (@Jenny Tokumei) 1620837327
Lindell, like Donald Trump, seems to have a very loose relationship with fact-based reasoning.
Kinda like saying that there are people who believe in gravity. It\u2019s a fact, whether you\u201dbelieve\u201d it or not— BluePirateAnnie *ArrestTrumpNow!* (@BluePirateAnnie *ArrestTrumpNow!*) 1620858143
There are people who actually still think that Trump is some kind of a winner.pic.twitter.com/wHb9Dlyc5y— David AsTheMan (@David AsTheMan) 1620836047
Since almost 8 million more Americans voted for Joe Biden, most of them were pretty easy to convince they voted for him.
And they're called the majority.https://twitter.com/TeaPainUSA/status/1392509944340127746\u00a0\u2026— The Universal eXecutive (@The Universal eXecutive) 1620841032
Giving this guy attention just encourages him to continue his pathetic rants.https://twitter.com/TeaPainUSA/status/1392509944340127746\u00a0\u2026— OranCWalker (@OranCWalker) 1620837792
Because Biden did win and is the President?pic.twitter.com/OzNAOC4LSc— laurajoan (@laurajoan) 1620833313
Lindell's antics have gone from funny to disturbing in the minds of many online.
Another lunatic inspired by the last onehttps://twitter.com/realTuckFrumper/status/1392500832063655937\u00a0\u2026— Mickey Dempsey (@Mickey Dempsey) 1620833746
Even Steve Bannon has had trouble accepting Lindell's claims.
Lindell made the remarks during an interview on Real America's Voice News after host Steve Bannon noted that Trump allies had lost in court over 60 times while opposing the outcome of the 2020 election.https://www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-supreme-court/\u00a0\u2026— AwwSayCanUsee (@AwwSayCanUsee) 1620842050
Though the founder of MyPillow is always eager to appear on television, one can only hope his viewers are taking him less and less seriously.
