Why Donald Trump and his supporters have no reason to claim fraud?

[kentuck]

We have seen polls on Donald Trump's popularity for more than 4 years and never, not once, has he been over 50% in the polls. The majority of Americans simply did not like him. He always see-sawed somewhere between 40 and 47%.

It is quite logical to assume that he never got 50% in his last race against Joe Biden. He received just where the polls said he would get on a good day. Nobody actually believed that he could get 50% of the vote.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that he lost very big on election day. He lost the electoral vote with a landslide 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden and 232 for Donald Trump. That sounds about right, considering that he is presently, at last count, almost 7 million votes behind in the popular vote.

It is insane to say that Donald Trump should have won in a landslide. No, he shouldn't have! If anything, he should have lost by more.

To listen to dumbasses on talk radio talk about how Trump was "robbed" or that the election was "fixed" is an embarrassing disgrace for our country. He lost because he should have lost. The numbers were never in his favor.

His supporters need to get off their delusional high horse and come back to reality. They are like the red-assed monkeys - the higher they climb, the more they show their asses.

1. Agreed, but you are talking about the generally shared reality.

Trump supporters, thanks to right wing media, do not live in that reality most of the time. Listening to right wing media would have conditioned you to think that Trump was more popular than he really is. It would have told you that the election was being fixed to favor Biden even though he was a poor candidate and scandal ridden. You must have seen that even Fox News was getting hammered for actually admitting the reality that the election was over and Biden had won. Trumpers are retreating away from Fox and going to networks that have Trump wining 400 EC votes.

2. I love your last paragraph...

The higher they climb, the more they show their asses...but I'd change it to "the more they show they're asses"

3. I suspect that NC was stolen from Biden.

I have similar suspicions about FL and, to a lesser extent, TX. Biden won BIG this year.

If anything, the Democratic Party was robbed of a number of important down-ballot races that we should have won but did not.

5. I suspect you are right.

They thought they had it fixed.

4. I'm sure they'd say the polls that gave his popularity ratings were fake or rigged.

The RW propaganda machine and its snowflake followers live in an alternate reality where anything that fails to conform to that reality is fake or rigged or a "Democrat" conspiracy. I mean, the map I saw of how the election "really" came out has California as a red state. The RW propaganda machine would probably say Dotard's popularity was 100%, but even the snowflake base wouldn't believe that whopper.

6. For five years, they knew he was not very popular with the majority of Americans.

The polls were an accurate reflection.

Their delusion has boiled over.

No one needed "fraud" to defeat Donald Trump.

He defeated himself.
