It’s impossible to rig an election

His ascendence and arrival to the Office was on the backs of the ignorant and gullible.

demographics dont lie
Biden underperformed everywhere (except suburban womann) except in those key counties in key battleground states

And we’re expected to believe the doddering old retread scored more votes than any candidate in history—because Trump lol.

True but then the money won’t go to the Republican party

also the "enthusiasm" was all on Trumps side
Why did Biden get massive votes then? It's obvious -ballot harvesting
 
I'll tell ya what. Persisting in making a case that an American election was entirely rigged - which could have extremely negative ramifications for the republic for years - carries w/ it a burden of proof.

You really have to do better than "this seems a little fishy."
 
How's about we do some math?

Let's talk initial #'s to start with. Roughly how many people would need to be involved to rig an election on this scale?

Name a more polarizing figure in American political history than Trump.

Even if Trump is King Polarizer that’s asking to explain a whole lot.

And in fact tens of millions of people think ‘because Trump’ is an inadequate explanation. Including up to 10% of democrats according to at least one poll.

Couple that with the disinformation campaign ran by the Biden media and the outright censorship practiced by Big Tech in the weeks before the election—it kinda all adds up, the fix was in.

The latter is the only argument you would have. It actually has the most truth - though Trump had talk radio, Fox, Newsmax, et al. on his side to balance things. And those aren't small things.

But the idea that Election Day itself was rigged is pure fantasy - the ultimate paranoid conspiracy. Millions of people believe it because repetition works. It's just like when millions believed Saddam was behind 9/11.
 
And Trump is King Polarizer, and that does explain everything.

Were you around in the month before election? Record turnouts. People waited in line for over 10 hours to vote in some places.

It's safe to say that a lot of people voted "because Trump."

Trump, The Great Explainer lol.

It’s not going to work and there’s no reason to expect it would. Too many anomalies.

I obviously live in a bubble politically but I can speak to what I saw pre-election. The passion may not have been about Biden himself but the 'enthusiasm' to remove Trump from office was off the charts. Small sample size but my Facebook feed became essentially one big Joe Biden campaign ad as all people wanted to talk about was counting down the days until Trump would be gone. Every single day people were posting about make sure you vote and make sure all your friends in other states vote etc.

Even smaller sample size but I saw wives of friends who I know were either Republican or voted Republican in the past posting about voting for Biden. The other difference I saw were the Bernie supporters. I remember how pissed a number were in '16 and its possible some of them didn't vote. This time the Bernie supporters were posting about not particularly caring for Biden but disliking Trump so much that they would vote for Biden (then go after him once in office).

So the reason the outcome doesn't surprise me is that Trump didn't win with all that big of a margin in '16. And this time he wasn't running against someone as disliked as Hillary. So while he definitely had enthusiastic supporters he needed to expand his support beyond that passionate base and he didn't really do that.

(Just my observation)
