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

    No, the narrative just changed. Good luck convincing anyone the 2020 election wasn’t stolen ever again.

    “I told you. In 2020 we won all 50 states. Voter fraud by the millions. I was saying it all along. But we worked hard, we passed laws for election integrity, we watched the polls and they couldn’t cram their 10, 15 million votes into the boxes again. And look what happened. Instead of winning by 8 million votes, she lost by 6 million votes. Which is what should have happened last time.”

    This is the narrative I’ve been hearing. The voters that just stayed home simply never existed in the first place, as far as they’re concerned. He’s going to use this victory as proof of his claim that he should have won last time, voter fraud was rampant, and Democrats are cheaters. And it’s going to work.

      And it’s going to work.

      Well, let’s face it - the target audience for such stupid narratives are his base, and they are dumb as a box of rocks.

        Please don’t insult them. Boxes of rocks can still serve a purpose and don’t deserve to be denigrated like that.

          No box of rocks ever called me a ______. Insert a slur!

          No box of rocks ever had his picture taken with Jeffrey Epstein!

      Should we tell him who was president in 2020 and who was president in 2024? Oh right, it doesn’t matter to them as long as they repeat it a million times.

    And yet I still have Facebook friends posting about how “all the states Kamala won are the ones that don’t require photo ID…”

    Don’t worry, they’ll still have Biden, Clintons, and Kamala to blame for all of Donnie’s mistakes.

      Nah I’m pretty sure this was our last real presidential election. The rest will be pure spectacle and will be used for fund raising and entertainment purposes only.

    Gosh, so they aren’t going to organize a “stop the steal” that is designed to specifically steal an election?

    Let’s move on. This is what the American people wanted. Let them burn it all down. The adults will pick up the pieces when it’s all over.

      “The adults” can’t restore lost lives, and depending on how much “the adults” think they should take the moral high ground, they may only undo some of the damage, while normalize the rest.

    Oh for fucks sake, I escaped from the left wing cesspool that is Reddit and came here after being told it’s free from left wing cancer. Obviously not…
