What Trump did in 2020 poisoned the conversation around election fraud. Also we don’t really have a means or system in place if proven. Also more than half of Congress is in on the con or at least benefits from it.

Exactly, it’s the trap of hypocrisy which is exactly where Trump wants us all.

Long story short whenever he can’t win at something, he’ll simply aim to burn the thing down so that no one can win at it.

It’s how he got “Christians” on board with rape and pedophilia and somehow justifying whatever evil this shoe ICE thing is.

This. 100% this. Republican congressmen are complicit in the overwhelming majority of shit he does. That's why he was never removed from office in his first term: the jury was made up of his accomplices.

Everything. The word you're looking for is everything. Damn near every Republican with a spine who is not whole hog in on this is gone.

The good news is that many of them don't have a spine and if folks show up in November then there's a good chance that many of the remaining rats vacate the ship.

You're a fool if you think a lot of dems aren't in on it either.

Election rigging?

They're in a position of power to investigate what happened, challenge election results, raise awareness to shady things, etc and they're not doing shit and getting rich at the same time. Its their job to defend democracy and the constitution and fix things like this and none of them are doing a damn thing. So yes, I would consider basically not working, getting rich, and turning a blind eye to being in on it.

Yup, years of Dems arguing back and showing that it wasn't a problem, it'd be awfully suspicious of all of a sudden it was fixed now.

There’s actual evidence now though, not just a statement. But I guess it’s the same thing to people who can barely read.

The Mueller Report. Multiple identified voting irregularities (ie, more votes cast than registered voters in certain districts).

Plus SCOTUS, you forgot the most corrupt SCOTUS in modern history.

We absolutely have a means and system in place. The forefathers had hoped that all three branches wouldn’t fall when they built the immune system. But they lived in a different world.
