In reply to the discussion: Looks like we lost primarily due to low Democratic voter turnout [View all]DET
(2,348 posts)Trump, Musk, and Putin stole the election. They cheated. Of course, this remains to be proven, after a thorough investigation - which I suspect has already started.
Primary evidence
- Allegedly low Democratic turnout. For the most important election of our lifetimes. With women knowing that the Taliban is breathing down our backs. And with HUGE Democratic enthusiasm before the election. I dont think so.
- More votes during Covid than in 2024. Not credible.
- Trump allegedly won all the swing states - and the popular vote. Not credible, at all.
- If I understand correctly (could be wrong), a couple of safe red states went blue, but purple swing states went red. Makes no sense.
- Trump allegedly won Pennsylvania, with a very large Puerto Rican population - after a massive insult to Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican paper towel incident.
- DeJoy is still the postmaster. Hard to forget the trashing of the sorting machines. He seems to found a different way to makes votes disappear this time.
- A number of people are reporting anecdotally that they voted, but there is no record of their votes.
- Even some MAGAts are saying anecdotally that something smells fishy. Hardly proof, but interesting. Most of Trumps base is mind blowingly stupid and gullible, but they generally view themselves as patriots. Its hard to see millions of these people voting for a man who has declared that he wants to be a dictator.
More
- First, were talking about Trump, Musk, and Putin - all world class liars and cheaters.
- They told us they were going to cheat. Thats Trumps little secret, which he couldnt help brag about.
- Trump said several times that he didnt need our votes. Why do you think that is?
- Trump already tried to cheat during the 2020 election with the in-your-face trashing of the post office sorting machines. Plus, of course, his massive disinformation campaign.
- Elon Musk met with Putin before the election. Trump had multiple phone calls with Putin. They werent chatting about the weather.
- The voter rolls were aggressively purged before the election.
- Trump incessantly told his base that Democrats were going to steal the election. So the base is primed to accuse us if we investigate the votes.
Of course, Trump is too stupid to steal the election on his own. But he has a whole bunch of smart, if evil, people to help - plus the richest man in the world who has proven he is willing to bribe people for votes. We cant turn our country over to Russia without a thorough investigation.
