There is literally no credible evidence of this. All the polls pointed to this as a very possible outcome. Now, gerrymandering and voter suppression… are other factors.

He won all swing states, against very steep odds. Bomb threats? I don't know for sure, but something smells very fishy here, with what Trump said about Musk ensuring the election.

I’ll advise you to go to any reputable news outlet and check out how all those claims are debunked. While there were bomb threats, they were handled quickly and they didn’t make much of a difference in the outcome. I know it’s hard to imagine there are enough people to vote for him, but it’s true.

That does make sense. Ultimately, Harris didn’t lose by a lot, at least not in the popular vote. The Electoral College is always against Democrats. Ultimately, I think that she was too careful and practiced in her delivery. She defended democracy, but in doing so, defended the status quo.

You are correct that it's hard to imagine that folks voted in the felon. And you are also correct in that major news orgs don't put any credit in election fraud.

I see “installed” as a team of billionaires controlling media, political allies suppressing votes, and ungodly amounts of money pumped into the election. He won on lies because he had enough conspirators playing along. Money bought reality for 77M people. If that’s not installed, idk what is.

Yeah, they spent a crazy amount, but didn’t Harris raise more than a billion? I think the answer is much simpler. Biden was unpopular, Harris refused to decouple from Biden, and there are a ton of bigoted people in this country.

Those were factors for sure. But the campaigns were not the same. Arguing that they were is a false equivalence. That election had been in the making for 40 years. Trump was just the right pliable man at the right political time. I stand by “installed.”
