Republicans thought they had rigged 2020 enough to win, but still lost. Therefore, it was rigged. But they rigged 2024 and got away with it, therefore it was NOT rigged.
It's literally this. They didn't account for the MASSIVE amount of voter turnout and mail in vote in '20. They stole 2016, attempted and failed in '20, cranked it up to 11 in '24, and have since gone mask off fascist because they know they have it rigged good enough now to never lose again.
Is this the same Georgia where, after the 2020 election, Trump pressured secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" in order for him to win the election?
If he finds those votes, does it mean he won in 2020?
Does that mean, ipso facto, he was ineligible to run for president in 2024, and thus Harris wins by default?
No, that would mean the constitution is wrong, old, and outdated and we shouldn't be listening to what a bunch of guys 250 years ago had to say just because they wrote a letter to England...
Aww... How cute! You think there's "reasoning" and "logic" involved here, and not just a vibe coded system of "beliefs" that somehow got political power
I mean...it's not like the strategy is unprecedented...
The hard part is getting the people to swallow your bullshit. Trump is exceptionally good at that. Or at least he was. Some of his followers, at least, are starting to vomit up his twice-semi-digested excrement.
There. Are. More. Important. Things. Than. The. Epstein. Files. Fucking hell, I swear some of y'all will have a gun to your head and say "nice distraction from the Epstein files."
You’re not wrong and your frustration is clear. I think a lot of people have pinned their hopes on the contents of the files being so heinous that they will be the one thing that can dethrone trump and alienate him from his base. I’m not sure they’re right but I can’t fault folks for seeking something to keep their hope alive.
Trump could be actively molesting the children of his cult and they would still make excuses for him and vote for him. He could rape their 14 year old daughters and they would claim their daughters led him on. He could molest their teenage sons and they would claim their sons were misled but sinful. These people are in a cult and their brains will always find a "good reason" to find for their choices. These people are mentally and morally weak people. So yes, they are stupid or evil or both.
My current stance is: they released ~1% of the files and we immediately got damning evidence on Trump, so they had to redact even more. Releasing all the files will give us untold information. Lawsuits gum up the machine.
I'm still waiting to hear what happens the day after the Epstein Files get released.
Because the Renee Goode and Alex Pretti slayings put hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans into the streets. The on-again/off-again tariffs have been reshaping international trade relations. Mass arrests and deportations are rewriting the composition of entire cities and states.
What's been the upshot of the Epstein releases? Anything? Is it a mobilizing event in any tangible way?
The bit about trump seeing a baby dumped in a lake got through. So imagine what of the 97% still unreleased is worse than that. For a bunch of billionaires.
Dictator trying to rewrite history and make it fact that he was supposed to win in 2020. Also getting revenge on the state of Georgia for criminally charging him with election interference and giving him a mugshot.

Funny how there isn't any investigation into voter fraud for the 2024 election...

Nobody ever explained why 2020 was rigged to hell but 2024 went off without a hitch.

Can't forget the trickle of "Democrats are meddling with the-" right before they realized they swept in 2024.

Just when I can't imagine how this timeline could get any dumber.
Well, Trump is going to finally "find" those 11,780 votes.

So Roe v Wade gets reinstated, because the ruling that said older (and thus outdated) laws take precedence was incorrect, right? Right?

According to the one survivor, it's super bad.
So they're gonna slow-roll that until the Cheeto kicks it; then it's open season.

Steal voting records, then micro-target dem voters with demoralizing ads and repub voters with motivating ads.
They're running the Cambridge Analytica playbook again

More preparation for the upcoming attempt to cancel elections. Or to distract while they rig them. Remember, every accusation is an admission.
If you aren't armed, you're only setting yourself up for failure.
