Let's say you think this past election was rigged.

48. Nah, not like that.

This was a combination of unprecedented demographic targeting verging on personalized brainwashing in swing states; an entire enemy power's intelligence apparatus focused on propaganda; and us only having a small fraction of a normal campaign season to work with.

I say that as someone who will defend until the end of time that 2004 and 2016 were rigged to hell and back, by every possible vector.

What we witnessed was a circus. We saw Musk openly offering bribes for votes. Manufactured discontent in Michigan. A lot of noise, which points to psy-op that's a lot of work compared to an outright rig. Rigs push the narrative of "both sides," convince people they're powerless, and don't try to excite anyone - not even their own zombie voters. Energy is harder to control than despair. They don't seek out niche interests to bribe; instead they try to keep everyone else confused and uninvolved.

As for the satellite thing, you'd need the entire SpaceX organization to be involved, not just its owner. That's Moon Hoaxer level ridiculous. SpaceX (and Tesla, btw) are packed to the rafters with liberal Democrats, and always have been. Any whiff of what you're suggesting and the companies would just cease to function immediately. They're not some Kafka factory of a 100-year-old aerospace institution, they're idealists - and the ideals are the opposite of the path Elon Musk chose lately in some drug psychosis.

We just didn't have time, and our leaders simply refused to stand up for the fact that the Trump campaign was unconstitutional.
