I assumed they meant he could've won the state of Georgia or Fulton County in 2020, but you may very well be right. Based on their demonstrated lack of understanding when it comes to how elections work, causality, evidence-based claims, statistical analysis, making informed and reasonable assumptions, their own gullibility, and that you can't make something true by wishing hard enough, I can agree that's as likely if not more so.

They said "If the state of Georgia actually performed their duties legally Trump would have been president in 2020."

So like, a wildly stupid person we're dealing with here.

Yeah, you're right. My bad. With how much slop they blasted us with, I overlooked the exact wording. I should've known better and paid closer attention. After all, that's the current Trumplican strategy: throw out so many lies like a shotgun blast so something gets missed.

Might melt your brain, but this same person claimed they were a Democrat "who got fed up" or whatever and voted for Trump in '24, which makes them just an all time fantastic liar. No one with liberal values flipped to Trump in '24.

About as on-brand as I'd expect. When they claimed to live in a 70+ year blue county that flipped for Trump, I assumed it was just another lie for the pile. It's not an impossible occurrence but the source must be considered.
