Former President Ronald Reagan used to tell a joke that shined a light on individuals with unrealistic – if not delusional – expectations about one thing or another.
There are several renditions. A slimmed down version has a father taking his son to a psychiatrist in order to treat the boy for his unbreakably starry-eyed sense of optimism.
The psychiatrist decides to take the boy to a room piled to the ceiling with horse manure thinking it would repulse him. Instead, the boy climbs to the top of the pile and starts digging.
When the psychiatrist asks what he’s doing the boy says, “With all this manure, there must be a pony in here somewhere!”
The believers of the Big Lie about the 2020 election are like that.

It's designed intentionally to stoke fear and anger and will probably get some people killed, and much worse things. Fuck D'Souza and fuck Trump.
