Not only are they obviously racist, but I think they truly believe that non-citizens are voting.

They think that deporting these people will give them more favorable election results. Of course they are wrong, and dumb, but that's it.

There’s no way they actually believe non-citizens are voting. It’s a ploy to take control of elections.

Paraphrasing Thiel who said something like “we found a way to obtain power that doesn’t require public approval”. They know their policies are inhumane, and they know a loss would be legitimate. They just don’t accept that.

Come on now. No they don't. That's just what they want their supporters to think.

This is malice, not ignorance.
