Why do people trust the voting system in USA, when everything else is highly manipulated?

This election in particular was very suspicious. Not the inordinate amount of bomb threats, not only the statistically impossible high numbers of bullet ballots only in swing states just enough to push the vote counts over the 'automatic recount' limits, not only the guy who lost the popular vote twice winning all the swing states and the popular vote, not only Elon knowing the results hours beforehand, and not only how much Trump & Elon openly bragged about how easy the election was to hack:

"[Elon] was very effective. He knows those vote counting computers very well, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide." - Donald Trump (https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingiswrong2024/comments/1i5bnpp/trump_praising_elon_for_well_he_knows_vote/)

Even still, the point does remain that a good plurality of our society is openly fascist even if you factor out those ridiculous bullet ballots, I guess. It's frustrating how it seems like everyone is just ignoring all the improbabilities just because Republicans have gaslighted us into believing that any and all election skepticism = stupid conspiracy theorist.

I don't doubt there was some localized fraud going on. I do doubt fraud was responsible for the red-shift in the vast majority of counties as shown on this map: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/06/us/politics/presidential-election-2024-red-shift.html

I think they tried to steal the election, but didn't need to. I do wish there were more investigations, because they're probably going to do all the same stuff and much more in the next elections.

The word conspiracy theorist is extreamly effective, most people are afraid to be connected to that word.

Because admitting that he cheated would take away all hope for our government. I suspect that no one wants to go there.

The admitted he was cheating when dude was convicted for like 20+ felonies.

They also admitted that the injustice system is strictly for torturing poor people.
