In reply to the discussion: Anyone seeing outbursts of enthusiastic Trump supporters? [View all]unblock
(55,118 posts)29. I hate to sound conspiracy-theorist-y, but...
Ok, I'm not saying there's any specific evidence of fraud and I'm not saying we should whine like Donnie did 4 years ago and so on...
I'm just saying, there's a lot of highly circumstantial evidence suggesting that the vote count was larger than his actual support. So little enthusiasm, so few signs, he barely campaigned during the last critical weeks, so little celebration, etc. I've never, ever seen a winning campaign look and act like that.
I'm just saying that if somehow, years later, it's revealed that there was fraud, then yeah, that would not surprise me in the least.
Not that it would change a damn thing, I mean, we found out later that Al gore actually won Florida, but that changed nothing....

I was driving on Wilson Street (near Jefferson HS) a few weeks ago and saw a backyard full of Trump signs.

My point exactly. No real understanding of what they voted for...but, they will be fleeced.

But what if the power he holds over our thoughts, emotions and fears about the future was a total mirage? 🤔

We know he killed hundreds of thousands of people last time due to the COVID misinfo, that was no mirage.

Republicans gave him a ride on 2 legit Impeachments. Now the POTUS is a convicted con.

All I've seen is one Commercial landscaper who had a Trump bumper sticker on the glass of his cab.

I concur and would only add that while that is their reasoning they probably can't articulate it like you just did

I would prefer that the results were gamed then believe a majority wanted this criminal as President.

I'm in Southern CA and saw a MAGAt flying a "Trump Won" flag off his pickup today.

I wonder why that is? Shouldn't they be celebrating their win against the Libs?
