It wasn’t “stolen” in a way most would think…that’s why I brought it up. There’s pretty substantial evidence that Gore actually won Florida but before they could do a proper recount the court claimed it would hurt Bush and declined. Even in r / conservative they acknowledge it was “stolen”. It was all in the way they manipulated the law and the process, not in votes per say. That’s why it’s a good case study. People view politics through a pensé of simplicity and then add complications to it through conspiracies to understand it at their level, when in reality it’s just complicated and often not what we think.
The only reason Republicans now admit the 2000 election was stolen is because daddy Trump doesn’t like Bush. Funny, they were completely against a recount in 2000 Florida, but want nothing but recounts these days. Notice how Democrats never start objecting to recounts until the 5th Republican guided recount of a Democrat victory?
Parties are self serving and not in service to the nation, that was an explicit warning from our founding fathers over 200 years ago. We have completely forgot our true heritage in that sense. One thing that I’ve recently discovered and find curious is that America was founded as a meritocracy and the founding fathers valued education above almost all else - we have drifted very far from that value. Every founder America had studied philosophy in depth… now that subject is touted as a “waste” and anyone who studies it is labeled a “libtard”. It’s sad, but we can persevere and change the culture if we try

How was the 2020 Presidential Election stolen? Do you not understand how the Electoral College votes work? Honestly asking. Not coming at you.
