Why DJT keeps claiming the election was stolen (lemmy.world)

Because it was.

Wait.

Hear me out.

Remember Cambridge Analytica. Rigging elections is a perfected profession now. We’re talking about deep rigging, through manipulating voters very targeted and algorithmically.

2016 We know they did it. We know Mueller could not really link anything to anyone. The cloak and dagger was very well done. This is something both DJT and Russia are really good at. The corruption is implied but never explicit or provable.

2020 They attempted but somehow it didn’t work. I don’t know how, but at least DJT must have thought it was locked in. So did Putin as he was planning on doing the whole Ukraine thing without meat grinding his young boys. But his puppet somehow didn’t get back in and it increasingly looked like Trump would face serious consequences from the 92 charges against him. So Putin went in.

2024 Having learned from both 2016 and knowing the stakes being so much higher, the rigging was in much deeper and serious dark pools of money with Musk at the top ensured a sure fire win. I’m sure genocide Joe, non-nominated Kamala and the assassination attempt all helped, but they were both very motivated and certain they would win. Project 2025 and a bunch of language in his speeches suggests they knew he would win.

I have no proof, but him being a rigger and a cheater in every other aspect of his life makes me feel he’s just pissed off his fix didn’t work in 2020.

Curious if I’m the only one who thinks this.

Read up. Every swing state has the same Russian tail that Putin had in his referendum election that everyone knows was rigged. As is always the case with Trump, every accusation is a confession. It was stolen.

He conveniently won every swing state by just enough to not have an automatic recount.

Kamala was warned by a Republican AG that they thought it was tampered with and she should request a recount. For whatever reason, most likely afraid of being labeled a hypocrite, she just folded and took the L.

Thiel, Elon and Vance are all followers of Yarvin and think democracy is outdated and a glitch that needs to be removed. They would have no issue rigging an election so they can get their technocratic state that they want. They have all the means to fund such an event. I find it no surprise one of the Doge boys wrote a ballot scanning software that had a write function. Odd he was all ready to go on day 1 for Doge isn't it?

None of this will trend because it's being actively suppressed by the algorithms on X and Meta because they are complicit.

I will never understand how NE-2 went blue with so many others turning red.
