I mean just the election lie bullshit would be interesting if you had an explanation for that set of lies alone....
That's easy to explain.
There were boat parades for Trump.
There were 90 mile long Trump trains for Trump.
There were Trump rallies.
People LOVE Trump. They love him. More than they ever loved Reagan.
And they saw that Biden's crowds could fit in a high school gym.
What a lot of Republican voters didn't understand, and still don't understand, and maybe some Democrat voters too, was that the BLM riots
WERE the campaign rallies. And by that measure, the Left was very enthusiastic in 2020.
In 2016, I saw Hillary bumper stickers and Hillary lawn signs everywhere in Portland. In 2020, I saw hardly any Biden bumper stickers or lawn signs. But what I did see was BLM signs everywhere. Tucker Carlson, who you apparently hate, correctly pointed out that BLM was the most popular political party in America 2020.
So here are the Republicans going into the election knowing the polls are full of sh1t based off what happened in 2016. They're confident Trump is gonna mop the floor with Biden, because they believed there was little enthusiasm for Joe Biden, because, really who the hell would vote Joe Biden?
But there's a lady, can't remember her name, whose big idea is that people don't vote for a candidate, they vote against a person or a movement. Hate is greater motivator than love according to her. And perhaps she's right, 2020 certainly seems to back up her theory.
And on a side note, I'm still blown away, 16 choices, and Democrat voters chose Alzheimer's to represent them. For a party focused on radical change they sure did pick the oldest old man ever. But, Democrat party dysfunction is a topic unto itself.
Without getting into the theories of Rudy and leopard print suit lady, I want to explain a little bit on how Democrats changed the rules in the middle game.
Election law wasn't followed in Pennsylvania. That's a fact. It's not even disputable. And it's a big deal.
Article 1, section 4
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
When a governor unilaterally declares through emergency executive order that the election shall be conducted on such and such a day, that's unconstitutional. He or she doesn't have the legal authority to do that. But in a power move, State courts sided with Democrats.
And the Supreme Court, I think, in the interest of preventing Civil War 2.0 chose not to stick it to those states. Although Alito and Thomas were ready to overturn elections in states that didn't follow the rules, the other members of the court were more interested in harmony than truth.
In August, the Republican party released a 23 page report on the 2020 elections. This is part of the executive summary:
However, Democrats, including some public officials, used the pandemic as a pretense to achieve long-sought policy goals such as expanded mail voting and the elimination of key safeguards, specifically for absentee voting, such as witness and ID requirements. One of the worst examples is the automatic mailing of ballots to voters who did not request them, including in states such as New Jersey and Nevada that had no tradition of heavy absentee voting and were unprepared to scale up their processes. Another example was how state courts ignored laws enacted by their legislatures such as ballot delivery deadlines. Utilizing emergency powers and the courts, the Democrats attempted, with some success, to tear down these key safeguards that give Americans confidence in our elections.
And these rule changes probably swung the election. Youngkin won the governorship of Virginia by a larger number of votes than Joe Biden's margin of victory in 2020. Phil Murphy won New Jersey by a larger number of votes than Joe Biden's margin of victory in 2020.
Joe Biden won the presidency by just 43,000 votes in three states.
According to Rasmussen poll, seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans believe it is likely last year’s presidential election was affected by cheating, a view shared by 30% of Democrats and 51% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
So the above is just one reason why many people believe the election was stolen from Trump, and it doesn't require one to believe any conspiracy theories.
And there were signs that the 2020 election wasn't on the up and up.

Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't. But this is why people were easily willing to accept the conspiracy theories.
It was non-stop crazy for like two months. I had Qtards in my own family telling me, "Patriots are in control, just two more weeks." And I'm like look at the hair gel. The wheels are coming off. There's no ultimate plan. And this guy, this guy, more than even Mitch himself, helped Democrats win those two Georgia Senate seats. Out there, telling people not to vote. Total nutjob. And people believed him because of his pastor voice.
Georgia was the biggest cost of the election fallout for Republicans. They had won that Georgia Senate seat by 14 points in 2016. They really sh!t the bed on that one. But it looks like Republicans have learned their lesson. Youngkin did very well. And Ciattarelli might have won his race too had Ronna done a better job. Trumpism without Trump is the future of the Republican party.
And in February, the Democrats chose not to start a "Warren" sort of commission that could have assured the public that the election was true and secure. Really big mistake I think. But instead, Democrats chose to do this over and over.
It's amazing to watch really. I can describe their policy missteps if you'd like, but I'm sure you're already aware.
Personally, I'm F--king ecstatic that Joe Biden won. I'm glad Trump isn't President right now. I'm glad the hipster guy banned him from Twitter. If he would have just kept his damn mouth shut for five minutes, he'd be President right now, but what's happening now is even better. I used to be concerned about the future of the Republican party, but now I'm counting all the way to 60.
Joe Biden's presidency is already worse than this Billy Squire music video, and we're not even one year in.

I hope things don't get much worse. Because they suck quite a bit right now. And, hopefully, the Democrat party will learn from their mistakes. And return to pursuing policies that actually make the working class's lives better. But I'm skeptical that they will, because of yours and other people's responses. You clearly care more about hating Republicans than the actual problems people want Democrats to solve. Which is what that youtube video is about.
