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.

      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 used to support the claim to change voting in some way, or do away with it at least for Federal level.
