This brings up election machines connected to Starlink. Hate to dip into conspiracy, but needs to be looked at seriously.
I know everyone hems and haws about trump cheating because they don't want to be called a ~~conspirator~~ conspiracy theorist. But his calling everyone else cheaters, claiming voting machine manipulation, shouting there's election fraud, and his 100% projection should all tell everyone that he cheated. We know he placed his minions as election officials across every state and has had them change laws for him. And SO much gerrymandering and voter suppression, it's hard to put it all in one place. He definitely cheated, it's just a matter of how much. So yes, I agree, we have to look if he cheated with starlink, but also check everything else.
I don’t doubt it, I just can’t find anything that explains how with concrete examples. The “Ballotproof” script was pretty close but it’s just a theory.
Am I missing something here? It looks like the argument is "This guy created a ballot-counting program, and he works for Musk. Therefore, Musk rigged the election for Trump."
I think that's it, except the program afaict was designed to forge ballots.
"Conspiracy theorist." A "conspirator" would be somebody who's part of the conspiracy.
Good catch. Thanks and will fix.
Why has there not been more noise about this? I’m honestly a bit confused it looks pretty obvious from the outside but everyone in the US just seems to accept that it was a legitimate election? Idk
In addition to what OP said, there's no hard proof yet. Puts us into a tough position.
Because the Republicans have done an excellent job of looking like lunatics claiming election fraud and vote fixing. The left and progressives would look like the lunatics and be put in the same categories as the conspiracy theory loving right.
Also, I think having "fair" elections is the only thing that keeps us going. If we don't have the hope of voting someone out next time, we're really going to give up.
No offense but you all need to dig deep down and get some of the anger that the MAGA group has.
You would never hear them say this in response to elections becoming unfair. They'd be burning down the house. Turns out they got everything they wanted from doing this, so why is the left absolutely collapsing and instead focusing on demonstrations akin to whatever happened on the 4th. Time to put on your vagina hats and go for a walk.
No offense taken. I know you're right, but anger is hard to pull up after we got him out once and he's back in. Don't get me wrong, he cheated, but how was that even fucking possible? A LOT of fellow American traitors helped him. It's disheartening.
What about it is obvious?
Trump admitting it twice? We know he's senile, but still, why would he say that if there wasn't some truth to it?
If that had actually happened, it would be all over the news and everybody would be talking about it.
I've been saying it. The election was stolen. This is a coup. We are a vassal state of Russia and the billionaires now.
It absolutely does.
Republicans have accused people of what they do. Roger Stone stole the election for Bush in 2000 and a Republican hasn't won since without some fucky nonsense
