On election night, as the results looked to be in Trump’s favor, the baseless conspiracy theories about fraud began tapering off.

No, not true. They are saying that this time they knew to watch close, so the Democrats couldn’t pull of the same fraud as 2020. They are indeed stating that it is “supisious” that 13 Million Democratic voices where nowhere to be seen this time around, taking that as proof they were right all along.
That’s how this works. You take reality and then make it mean what you want it to mean. So that’s their take in regards to voter fraud.
What’s “fun” is when you realize an awful lot of people do this with an awful lot of topics all the fucking time. Probably including yourself.
I would say everyone does it. Confirmation bias isn’t something you can completely avoid. You can try to recognise it in yourself, but most of the time it’s a lot more subtle. As simple as reading something you agree with and not going to check the source. We ALL do that.
Absolutely. I try to counter it by beeing aware and checking M opinions against facts where possible. But I am sure there are many topics where I don’t fully succeed or I haven’t caught myself doing it yet.
Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug
You really have to be a stupid person to be a Republican these days. Wild.
