MyPillow founder and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell has, for more than a year, broadcast unhinged fantasies that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump, and that eternally forthcoming mythical evidence will validate Lindell's delusions and result in Trump's reinstatement.
Lindell has repeatedly moved the goalpost for when this reinstatement would happen. He and other conspiracy theorists floated that Trump would retake the Presidency on Inauguration Day, immediately after Biden was sworn in. When that came and went without incident, the date moved to March 4, then to August 13. Lindell then claimed the evidence presented at his bizarre "cyber symposium" earlier this year would rally the nation to oust the current administration. Nothing happened.
One defamation lawsuit, a quixotic Supreme Court complaint, and $25 million later, Lindell has yet to provide a shred of proof for his increasingly unhinged claims.
Yet he continues to double down.
Watch below.
Mike Lindell has never been more confident about his plan to overturn the 2020 election: "We have enough evidence to put everyone in prison for life, 300 and some million people." Is he planning to imprison basically the entire US population? pic.twitter.com/UYfC1dR7V0

Lindell said:
"Everything you're gonna see over these next seven months, to get rid of the machines, you're gonna see a Supreme Court case coming out, all these great things, everybody. ... I'm more optimistic today than I have been yesterday, the day before that. I'm on an incline like this. Why? Because it's so amazing. We already have all the pieces of the puzzle. You talk about evidence, we have enough evidence to put everyone in prison for life, 300 and some million people."
The population of the United States, according to the 2020 U.S. Census, is just over 330 million—meaning Lindell thinks there's enough "evidence" to imprison the vast majority of Americans. What's more, that number is double the number of people who voted in 2020 to begin with.
You can likely imagine the response to Lindell's latest fantasy.
300 million people in prison for life? That’s everybody in the United States above the age of 9 lol https://t.co/eKD7ddUqSl

That’s almost two life sentences for each vote cast in the 2020 election. Basically, all y’all going to prison for voting fraud, whether or not you voted or were even old enough to do so. Everybody’s got something to hide, except for Mike and his monkey. https://t.co/au4o2Fb584

This is even funnier when you remember that Lindell was kicked out of the White House last January without getting to present this master plan of his because it was basically "imprison everyone who didn't vote for Trump", and even Donald Trump thought that was too ridiculous. https://t.co/l42wET0HhZ

What if [takes huge bong hit] every American is ALREADY living in Mike Lindell's prison, we just don't realize it because he built the walls in our own imaginations, man https://t.co/Qctf8tgn75

Yes, 90% of Americans are guilty of voter fraud (including at least half of those who voted for Trump). Or, put another way, every American over the age of 15 is guilty. It is easy to spot craziness if you actually know information, like the US total population is 330million. https://t.co/iHKt5KSya0

Lindell's growing departure from reality has some concerned.
@GovTimWalz At what point do the appropriate authorities in Minnesota move to have a conservator appointed for Lindell. He is clearly not of sound mind. #MikeLindell #MyPillow #Election2020 https://t.co/jwHNFcnZLd

Yes, putting "everyone in prison for life, 300 and some million people" is the goal of authoritarians, even if the prison is metaphorical. https://t.co/GrTtRi2ieN
