He was elected, after all, by more than half of the american voters.
This common refrain does a lot of heavy lifting by assuming that Trump did not cheat to win (again).
I’m not saying he did, and him even coming close to being in office a second time is still a damning indictment of our society regardless, but the fact of the matter is that Trump had every incentive to do so (avoiding an almost certain prison sentence, plus multiple other lawsuits that could add on to it) and nobody bothered to challenge the results in the months after the election when Democrats still held power, so we’ll never know the truth (since records of any misconduct would have likely been destroyed by now).
I thought I was very clear - I’m not accusing him of cheating in the 2024 election, however… I understand the metaphorical prisoner’s dilemma that Trump was in, and the most optimal strategy was simply to cheat.
You don’t think a convicted felon winning every swing state is just a bit suspicious? Especially considering 4 years earlier he failed to capture that same electorate?
You don’t think him going up on stage afterwards and praising Elon Musk for his knowledge of voting machines wasn’t suspicious?
You don’t think him telling a crowd of his supporters that they won’t have to vote anymore isn’t just a bit suspicious?
We all know that every single one of Trump’s accusations is simply projection. He presumes that everyone operates on the same frequency as he does and will preemptively accuse them of the same bad behavior he is responsible for.
He zeroed in on mail-in ballots during the 2020 campaign, because that’s how he tried to cheat - to get states to throw out mail-in ballots that overwhelmingly skewed Democratic.
So he wins in 2024 and what does he do? Immediately says the opponent cheated by rigging vote machines. Hmm, gee I wonder what put that idea in his head?
I’m not going to be beholden to this “high road” horseshit anymore. I’ll call a spade a fucking spade when I see it.
My point was not so much about those who directly voted for him as it was about those who, by not voting, made Harris lose, effectively making him win.
Regardless of the cheating, there is a fact: millions of Americans didn’t vote in what might have been the most important elections of the country in modern history.

Remember how we mocked them for thinking Biden cheated in 2020 despite Trump being in office? Can we not blindly walk into this trap?
What trap?
