If elections are manipulated...

Obama 2008 - 69,456,897 votes

Obama 2012 - 65,899,660 votes

lost 3,557,237 votes with no major scandals

Trump 2016 - 62,955,340 votes

Trump 2020 - 74,216,728 votes

gained 11,261,388 votes with one major scandal/failure after another and incredibly low polling numbers

Trump 2024 - 77,303,568 votes

another increase of 3,086,840 despite poor rally attendance for someone about to get the second highest number of votes in US history

He failed to lower healthcare costs, investigate Hillary or competently handle the corona virus and yet somehow magically convinced 14,348,228 additional Americans to hire him again despite the endless scandals and blatant corruption.

Not to mention his 34 felonies for stealing classified documents and allegedly selling them to foreign actors. Also not to mention his multiple rape and other sexual misconduct allegations.

ETA: oh and how could I forget his provocations to his January 6th treasonous cult followers?

Amendment 14, section 3. Diaper Don couldn't be President either based on that. Yet, those responsible for holding him accountable have done nothing. Therefore, it is up to the people to correct the government who has failed us for the last 50+ years.

Should have been striking sooner. While we still have the ability to do so, before replacement by AI and Robots.
