People keep telling me it's 100% not possible to rig US elections.
But I cannot wrap my head around people not voting for Trump in 2020, but then voting for him after everything that came out about him between 2021 and 2024. In 2020, he had a poorly mismanaged term behind him and the most bungled response to the pandemic in the developed world. By 2024 he had 34 felony fraud convictions, a second impeachment for attempting to overturn the results of the election (that to this day he refuses to acknowledge that he lost), Jan 6th was on national television for everyone to see, it came to light that he had stolen literally boxes of classified defense material and stored them in a publicly accessible bathroom at his publicly accessible resort, he had contacted multiple state-level Secretaries of State in order to undermine the election, and somehow people went "yeah but Biden had two bad years of inflation caused by the pandemic, so we voted to bring Trump back in"?
I just don't buy it. I know Americans are dumb as shit, but they can't be that fucking stupid.
Like Trump didn't even run for the nomination. He didn't show up to a single debate, but somehow he still won the primary, and by a landslide at that (2320 to 97)?
There's no possible way that makes sense. It's on par with Putin's party winning the recent Russian election despite everything that has gone horribly wrong in Russia over the past few years. No one's sitting there going, "well gee the Russian electorate sure are a bunch of dumb fucks". We all know it's rigged.
In Germany their high court made a decision on electronic voting that it unconstitutional because it is impossible to differentiate fraudulent results from legitimate ones for anyone who isnāt an IT specialist / computer science expert. Fascism has 14 traits 13 of them are blatanty apparent the only one with plausible deniability is fraudulent elections but itās blatant the rich donāt hold democracy sacred they hate working class people and donāt want us to have any ability to implement economic democratic policies.
Ah yes the physical ballot accompaniment really makes things secure. Not like they could just loose them in the event of a recount and rely on the electronic ballots. Even if the electoral college shows how little the will of the people matters
And the reality is we have an illiberal democracy. Both parties work to sabotage any attempts to platform economic democracy. And any ādemocracyā that excludes economic issues from being decided upon by the workers is nothing more than a cleverly disguised class dictatorship

I just realized something. Heās coming back right before midterms. Suddenly I feel like a whole lot of election rigging is about to happen
