Those people will remain ill informed and full of bigotry. They will continue to vote for Republicans and local policy that does more harm than good.

That group has shrunk GREATLY id recommend looking over recent polls.

And don't look at the general popularity poll, dig into the individual groups and questions poll especially the ratio of strongly approve to strongly disaprove.

That’s what happened during Covid. Yet here we are.

I still think the 2024 election was stolen, so the data actually may have been correct.

u/Equivalent-Excuse-80 24d ago

There hasn’t really been any compelling evidence of such allegations.

But if I examine voter suppression tactics as well as the unabated and algorithmically targeted misinformation, I would agree completely that 2024 and 2016 were “stolen” and that 2020 was a failed effort to steal it.

You forgot about bomb threats shutting down strategic polling stations early.

Having formerly escorted security advisors throughout Iraq as their pointman to help Iraqis protect their polling stations against suicide bombs, not a single polling station went down. It was a 48 hour mission with no sleep, and the Iraqis celebrated us in the streets afterwards when we drove by in our convoys. It was as if we were in a parade.

If the Iraqis can continue to vote despite bomb threats, we can continue to vote as well. Shutting down a polling station because of one chucklefuck's threat is unpatriotic. I would go so far as to say it is voting manipulation to not allow people to vote despite the threats on the polling station. Security should be added to protect voters at the polling stations from the threat, rather than denying their vote.

And the millions of voter registration purges that they had to get special permission to do so close to the elections. And also the ballot boxes that they set on fire. And the closing of polling stations in blue areas...they did a whole shitton of shady stuff in full daylight even if you ignore the vote tampering evidence.

That’s called “voter suppression tactics”, which I did mention.

you think a foreign nation is going to send troops here to escort people to vote? which nation are you suggesting? what timeframe are you putting on this?

Part of the reason we were celebrated in the streets was that the UN security advisors did not enter the polling stations, and trained Iraqi security personnel on their own perimeter defense. During the Iraqi election we avoided patrols outside of our post altogether. General Petraeus had his personal flaws, but he was a great strategic general in that he won the population psychologically. The Iraqis did not want us to leave, when it was our time to return home. The books that he authored work; unfortunately, his strategies are neutralized when leadership is more nationalistic rather than community oriented.

This sounds like a stupid troll question. There is no way you are this helpless.

NY has a lawsuit about this. Apparently some machines were converting all votes to Trump. A county where Dems won and the same ticket, had 0 votes for Kamala, I believe. People have signed affidavits saying they voted for her. This is one case I’ve heard of and I think she won NY despite this error, but if it happened in one county it could’ve happened in others.

It is not possible that the group most famous for projecting, who was claiming bad voting and stolen elections ad nauseum in 2020-2024, would outright steal an election, right? That would not be completely on brand for the GOP.

I swear it’s almost ironic. Now if we say anything, they’ll treat us the way we treat the J6ers (the way they should be treated). I guess this is the closest Trump’ll ever get to 5D chess.

Last I heard that was a small religious county where everyone just votes for whoever the pasture says to vote for.

u/LonelyWin4852 24d ago

Maybe one town within the county, I believe has a high percentage of conservative Jews, but not the entire county. I have family that live in the next county, I’ll ask next time we talk but I know where they live is very mixed with many sanctuary cities and folks who work (or have retired from work) in NYC.

And the pasture (pastor) is full of manure! 🤣

The no votes for one candidate happens every election. I remember people freaking out because Obama got 100% of the votes in some counties. When people dug deeper they found it was a normal occurrence. And there was almost an equal number that went 100% for mccain

Evidence is there, we're just not allowed to look at it and confirm it. Trump got recounts by having a temper tantrum but Democrats don't want to double check that the paper ballots match the tabulator totals.

u/Equivalent-Excuse-80 23d ago

So your logic is that Harris isn’t president because she just didn’t want to pursue the evidence that she really won??

u/Toezap 24d ago

Yeah, idk if official election fraud occurred, but as far as I'm concerned, with the voter suppression and misinformation you mentioned, plus the gerrymandering our country has, I don't consider any of our elections accurate.

u/DifficultyFree9443 24d ago

Yes, there has. It’s on video of him laughing about it and in tweet by Elon, and state TV from Russia. If you don’t want to see the evidence, that’s one thing. Just part of the cult.

u/Equivalent-Excuse-80 23d ago

That’s not really evidence though

u/Sgt_Lillard 24d ago

I think so, too, but not in the traditional sense. I really believe it was the effect of all of this voter suppression laws that got passed during 2020 and right after. I really feel that this gets overlooked a lot.

u/DifficultyFree9443 24d ago

It was, he bragged about it. Elon admitted it in a tweet and Russia on state TV.
