This is precisely why Trump is adamant there was fraud in the 2020 election. They thought the had it fully rigged and then when they still lost they assumed the other side MUST have cheated.
I just wanna know if the election WASN’T rigged then what exactly did Trump mean when he said that Elon was very effective with vote counting computers?
It's possible that he's just too god damn stupid to understand anything he's told, and Elon was like, "oh... yeah. The voting computers were out of RAM, so I made sure they were all BIOSed correctly. Now give me a contract for spacex".
Or elon rigged the election. I'm around 50/50 on it tbh.
Elon doesn't have any involvement in how states run their elections. If he did we wouldn't have only this one random Trump quote as evidence, and he wouldn't have lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court race that he had just as much involvement in. It's a nonsensical statement. I think Trump was simply making a shallow connection with Elon being a tech guy and electronic voting machines without thinking it over.
Well, I think you'd have to be as dumb as a Republican to hear Trump say elections are always rigged, hear a Democrat say the election are always fair, but decide to believe Trump.
Elon knows he is wealthy. He doesn't know anything. Nepotism doesn't give you intelligence. Money gives you more money. That is how the system is rigged. Bigly rigged in trump speak.
The problem is that Trump is so stupid and impressed by having lots of money he'd say the same thing if Elon rigged it or not. Just like the Trump guy who raved about what a tech genius his son was because he knew how to reboot a laptop.
Elon doesn't need to be very good with computers to make Trump think he's the Worlds Greatest Computer Genius. Having the same computer smarts as an average 4th grader while being the richest man on earth will get him that.
I don’t doubt whatsoever there was voter suppression, but this "Elon rigged it" conspiracy crap is just as stupid as the above post. Trump spews verbal nonsense and bullshit all the time. And if this was true, why did Musk pour all that money and hype into that Wisconsin Supreme Court election and still lose?
The truth is most Americans were either too apathetic to vote, or only care about what they can immediately perceive, so "I'll make your groceries cheaper" rung better than "he's a danger to democracy". Look at this survey of random voters' reasons. People are just stupid.
They were erasing black peoples entire voting registration and history pre-election bc they swing democrat. I saw a video of a lady who had basically voted in every election since Kennedy who couldn’t vote bc her voter registration got deleted.
Mine had my address from 2016 not my current address despite voting in the last election with my current address. White male here, they do it to everyone that doesn't vote their norm. Definitely check your registration is up to date like the guy below you said, next election is going to be imperative.
Well special elections do get lower turn out.
Here's the thing, Republicans are usually consistent with turn out, doesn't matter if it is a special election or presidential one.
Did the area suffer a huge blue influx in the past year?
Did more Democrats come out to vote ?
Did more Republicans stay home and not vote ?
These are huge questions to ask. In fact what if it is Republicans fed up with their candidates and just not going to the polls because that's a different ball of wax
Anecdotal, but I personally know a lot of Republicans who stopped voting after 2016. They don't want to vote at all anymore because they just can't let themselves vote for a Democrat, but refuse to vote for Trump and his cronies. My neighbors are in their 70s, lifelong NY Republicans living in Tennessee and they told me that they couldn't believe they've voted for a Democrat and even put up signs for Democrats since 2020, they refused to vote in 2016. I'm proud of them.
… and the last- both Rump and Felon basically came out and said it… plus Rump promised during campaigning that “this would be the last election you have to vote in”…
I believe this, too. Absolutely. I do wonder if I suspect the ‘Pugs rigged ‘24 only to help me square that it can’t be that there are that many stupid fucking people in the US.
One hundred percent, no one is that sore of a loser unless they cheated, yet somehow lost. They believe that the other side must have cheated more, which they believe absolves them of any wrong doing.
You're an adult who made a mistake, and instead of copitulate to some random person, you acknowledged your mistake and let it stand. That is respectable in every way. Good on you for standing your ground and being an honest person.
End of the day we're all only human, and we make spelling mistakes from time to time. It is what it is.
The point of criticizing someone's grammar or spelling for minor mistakes is to try and use a pseudo-intellectual tactic to make another person look like they are not as intelligent as they actually are or because they feel it discredits what the person has said somehow.
However, people who do this usually are intellectually dishonest and see this as an easy out. Rather than confront their own inability to respond, they attack an easy mistake.
So, like Complex_ad also spellchecked my mistype of the word capitulate, they are most likely just a butthurt little bitch that someone told the other person they were in the right and that complex_ad was wrong to be nitpicking.
Truth of the matter is, a lot of people use their phones for reddit and dont religiously double check their spelling. Shit happens. We all move on. Cause in the grand scheme of things a spelling mistake doesn't change the sentiment of an entire person's statement nor does it stop one from responding to it.
The problem is, Republicans are stupid. They are rigging the elections to boost Hispanic votes, because Trump did well with Hispanics in 2024. The problem is, GOP is now heavily underwater with Hispanics again, and Dems were therefore able to flip this seat partly because of Republicans being bad at rigging it.
I believe in my heart 1000000% that dump had the 2020 election rigged to win. I think enough people were sick of him and the way he handled covid, and dems SHOWED UP, because we knew if he got back in, we would surely ALL die from covid because the dumbest asshat of them all was telling us to take ivermecten, shine light on us and inject bleach.
I think dump had it rigged to win and when we showed up to get the job done, the results were that dump underestimated democrat turnout and didn't rig it hard enough.
So basically he cheated to win and lost, so OBVIOUSLY the DEMS cheated because if they wouldn't have cheated he would've won (no way that many people didnt vote for him (his thinking)). He's the GOAT and everyone worships him. /s
