I also strongly believe that the last election was rigged, and am worried that no one really seems to be looking into it. Between Trump’s own claims that he would win no matter what and Elon “It’s just one line of code” Musk there is enough to be concerned with. Most likely, I think they simply didn’t count a bunch of Dem votes.
Wouldn’t it be up to the FBI to investigate such things?
The FBI that has been is going through constant purging right now and kicking out non-trump
fascist zealotsloyalists? That FBI?Yes but there needs to be some appetite from politicians, Dems seemed completely unwilling to entertain the idea it may have been rigged, perhaps out of fear they would be compared to Trump in 2020. All the noise about election rigging has been about people voting when they couldn’t or dead people voting and the like, no one is really talking about simply not counting votes. Meanwhile, we’re told that turnout for 2024 was relatively low, and yet the lines out of the polls that I saw were always heaving.
It’s hard to say without a better system in place for verification, but yeah I agree it’s a pretty suspicious set of circumstances. Republican bleating is almost always projection, making it doubly so.
I voted in Florida and it was really creepy that all the electronic voting machines were managed by a Republican, but not Dems.
Yeah, you know they’re up to something because of their constaint screeching about dodgy voting machines.
They reduced the number of polling places and slowed down processes to cause long lines in Democrat-controlled areas. That suppressed Democratic turnout.
…or the individual states where this allegedly happened.
Congrats to TWeaK for helping prove me right about one of my election predictions though - that no matter who won a noticeable share of the population was going to believe the election was rigged. I was guessing upwards of 1 in 6 if Trump lost (aka about half of MAGA), fewer if Trump won (not because Trump was more likely to be believed to win in a fair election, but because Trump had poisoned the well of election fraud claims in 2020).
I ask this honestly of all the people who think the last election was fair: What did Trump have to lose by not cheating?
If he cheats and he wins, he becomes president and can then use Absolute Immunity™ to completely shield himself from the consequences of both the most recent election and also the 2020 election interference / coup d’etat that he was in court for.
If he cheats and loses, he goes to prison - probably for the rest of his life.
If he plays fair and wins, exact same outcome as if he cheated, only with worse odds for victory.
If he plays fair and he loses, he goes to prison - probably for the rest of his life.
Trump would have been a fool to not try to rig the election. He was already in deep shit, and he couldn’t possibly get in more trouble than he already was. Cheating and getting caught in 2024 would have been like throwing gasoline on a raging forest fire.
Literally everybody with half a brain said for 4 years that Trump and his team, if not prevented from running again, would learn from their mistakes in 2020. And the lesson they learned wouldn’t be “Don’t cheat.”, it would be “Don’t lose.”. Right after the dust settled, Republicans moved to disenfranchise voters specifically for the next election to give them the edge they needed to win this time around. They left no margin for failure this time, and I wouldn’t have put it past them to have altered voting machines while they were at it. But nobody is looking into any of this because we’re too concerned with not appearing like hypocrites.
The greater fool is the one who trusts a person who cheated and went unpunished to not cheat again.
