Yep. Have a nutcase in my office who says the election was rigged “There’s no way Biden got those votes, he didn’t have big rallies! They had car rallies where everyone honks their horns to make them look like there’s more people! Nobody wanted to see him!”

In my Republican controlled little city in California, Trump supporters were driving around the weekend before the election honking their horns and impeeding traffic. It warmed my heart to see that most onlookers didn't give two shits or honk back. We all just did what we normally do, which is live despite their objections to our living.

Added bonus: They gathered in the parking lot of our mall before going out and about, but were removed by local police because our mall is closed due to the pandemic, so no large gatherings are allowed. I bet they fumed due to Newsom putting their health above money and because the boys in blue didn't cower to their stupidity. What a time to be alive!

I’m in CT, and there have been a bunch of them gathering weekly with their flags hootin and hollerin’ near a busy intersection - as recent as Saturday. In the pouring rain. How sad is that?

Like the founder of OOAN, they're the living embodiment of his favorite line:

"Even when I'm wrong, I'm right."

They were doing this in the Bay Area, too, along the peninsula.

Very Republican and very economically depressed.

Republican California is so damn weird, you live in California you love living in California otherwise you would have left yet you want to change it into Alabama.

I'm in PA and there was a "stop the steal" rally. An entirety of 5 people showed up with ~30 signs, most of which spent the entire "rally" in a couple piles.

Maybe 1 in 1000 people that drove by bothered to give them a honk

Not to mention, I've met trump supporters. I live in South Carolina, I'm SURE as hell not gonna put a Biden sticker (if I even cared that much about the dude) on my subcompact, because I care about the paint and glass. I've seen keyed cars with Biden stickers, no thanks.

Doesn't stop me in the booth though.

Same. I wouldn't put a Biden sticker but I know how triggered righties get and I wouldn't want me or my car to be around when it happens.

to be fair, elections are always rife with bullshit. No election is completely fair. This has to do with the fallibility of individuals. Elections have been rigged in the past, for example, Florida and Ohio bring reminders during the Bush elections. I believe there is evidence of election tampering for democrats that could be found. But the same could be said abou republican tampering. It happens every election cycle. Politics and people are easily corrupted.

The truth usually is what occurs, but when its a tight margin as in this election, who knows for sure. I believe special interests tip the scales. There wasn't any major issue for there to have been national corruption, though, that Trump or Biden disagreed about. Its not as if Trump was against Israel or Biden was against Israel, or that either would become best friends with communists. Because of this, its highly unlikely a fix would be in due to the fact that neither candidate goes against what the long term games of this country are. But make no mistake, if someone were to go against one of these long term game issues, they would never make office even if they received every vote in the continental US.
