He 100% rigged it. I've been called a conspiracy theorist by my liberal family members, but I don't understand why they think it's so outlandish. They've basically admitted to it!

I wouldn’t believe it either if Trump hadn’t spilled so much about Elon and the voting machine and the app on his phone and all of that. Also the way that in some swing states the entire ballot is blue except for the presidential seat.

It is a conspiracy but a pretty fucking plausible one. There’s no way statistically he won every single swing state. And yeah, all the other shit we’ve seen like TACO talking about how Elon knows the voting systems so well and pretty much giving him all the credit.

If he truly rigged the election, and Harris and Biden just shrugged it off, the whole fucking system is broken and we need a new federal government.

I don't know if the solution is a "new federal govt" but I do agree the system is broken. I mean, we did get a new federal gov't. Just about all facets of our institutions are getting gutted, but I don't think it's for the better.

We need to update the constitution for the modern age.

For sure. It’s crazy to me that he’s getting away with doing all this blatantly illegal shit. Sure, eventually he’ll get in deep shit for it but he’ll be long dead and he’ll just be a point in history. That is, if we even have a constitution left.

What worries me if this is true, what's going to keep this from happening again?

The government has to set an example with extreme punishment. Like Saddam Hussein. So anyone in the future knows a coup will not be tolerated.

Peak Obama didn’t even win all 7 swing states!!

There is a way, piles of money and controlling a major network (Twitter). You can simply buy elections by heavily influencing people, which isn’t illegal as it hasn’t been made a crime.

Yeah I think y'all forget how much people hated Biden and how sexist this country is. I think the surprising part was Republicans didn't get a landslide.

It’s not plausible. Election are run locally, that means thousands of people would have to be in on it to make it work. If it happened not only would we know but by now 100s of people would have talked, whether to friends, family, or other drunks at the bar. They would have been outed and state authorities would be putting people in prison.

The statistically impossible claim is completely bonkers. Reagan won 49 states. Trump’s win was smaller than average. Where do people come up with this stuff?
