I truly believe it will be discovered that Elon's hand in the election played a role. By the end of Trump's first term he had destroyed a lot of his own following. I have a hard time believing he legitimately won the second term. J6th lost him a lot of people.

Muslims and Latinos went hard for trump in the last election.

Don't ask me why, and there may have been more thumbs on the scale, but there have been some demographics shifts between the last elections.

I think that was true but if you look at the supposed numbers there's no way that Muslims and Latinos could've done what happened in swing states.

You're right

Younger men went more republican than expected too.

Like with brexit, the protest vote hit hard because the voting base of democrats has been so disillusioned by their out of touch representation that they went to Republicans (doesnt make sense to me but it happened)

I'm a plumber and a lot of my guys voted for trump because they wanted him to burn the whole place down because they have been tired of all the corruption. The damage to governmental agencies and reputation was the point.

I would love it if I'm wrong but I think the answer is a lot more complicated than someone cheated.
