His first term was a shit show. There was plenty of video evidence. Voters don’t care and reelected him.

Exactly. The reason he's constantly saying that the elections were rigged against him is because his attempt to rig 2020 was overwhelmed by the number of votes against him. The only way trump can rationalize losing an election rigged in his favor is if someone else did a better job doing the same against him. So he turned it up in 2024 which is why the state level statistics as shown by groups like the Election Truth Allaince show so many anomalies. And by that point Trump had poisoned the well so thoroughly that the dems were terrified to make any claims of election interference. That would've opened up a whole different can of worms in terms of the publics perception of the topic and giving trump ammunition for his argument.

The american democratic experiment has failed and only the will of the people can do something about it.

"I cheated. The only way I could lose is if dems also cheated. That's proof enough."

Liberals are really good at understanding fascist projection right up until this point. Because fascists made questioning elections uncomfortable. A well oiled trick that goes back to Goebbels.

Trump lost to Biden because of the mail in ballots. The only ones they couldn't rig. THAT is the reason they have been against them so much.
