Luckily Trump's going to fix that

They are transparent in lying to win. Nothing they say is sincere, it's only ever team sports. They've been consistent for a long time now.

Yep, they can turn on a dime because they have no principles. They were the same people who wouldn't tolerate any criticism of Bush II back in 2003 who have since spat him out completely.

When Trump's out of office everyone will claim they never voted for him either.

they turned the projector off. it's not cheating and fraud when their guy wins, only when it didn't work well enough (and then it's the other side that did everything).

Trump didn't need to cheat to win this election.

It's only fair if we win!

Why are you trying to take me to kindergarten, I am not childish, like at all!

Because they think they prevented an extra 20 million fake votes from being counted. Never mind that the Democrat count (primarily from mail-ins) is now 10+ million higher than November and both candidates received less than their party did in 2020.

You are reciting Russian misinformation. The Russian government wants to cause instability in the US by creating distrust on both sides. We need faith in the system and a focus on process. I really hate how politicians and media on both sides are constantly running stories that are closer to propaganda than real information. I don't like the fact that Trump questions the system but to be fair he isn't the first and I'm sure he isn't the last. In the 2016 election the Democratics were trying to blame Russia for Trump winning.

Trust the Constitution to do its job. Government power is distributed with checks and balances.

How am I reciting Russian disinfo? The night of the election, the republican votes weren't nearly as far off from the 2020 count as the Democrat tally was. I saw constant yammering questioning the seeming 20 million vote gap for the Democrat nominee. The Republicans really seemed to think they/Trump somehow prevented 20 million fraudulent votes from reaching the ballot boxes. Now, with votes finalized, the two nominees are only a few million apart and Harris pulled up another 10-15 million.

I wouldn't say "erases", more like blurs it for a while. It'll come back into focus for the next election.
