Why has Trump been so consistently adamant that the 2020 election was stolen from him? Could it possibly be that he had engaged in a vast campaign of ballot stuffing himself, that he was absolutely incredulous that his efforts were in vain, so much so that his only conclusion was that Biden had also cheated rather than the American people after 4 years of his overbearing ego, had simply given him his marching orders?

@sonhouse saidI don't know. Trump has never wavered, I've never heard him slip up and say anything that would suggest he doesn't believe his own narrative. Maybe he's just been pounding it for so long he really believes it, and his worshippers sure do, despite the total lack of evidence.
@Suzianne
Especially when they don't believe it themselves.

@suzianne saidNah he doesn’t believe a word he says but we know like any good actor he learns his lines. He told everyone in 2016 and 2020 that he’d only accept the outcome if he won. The problem with trump is that he says such outrages things that normal people think he’s joking but he’s not and he’s always in character.

@happy-chappy saidEspecially if the lie suits their own purposes, most republicans know they cannot win on their culture war and pro corporate policies so democracy has to go.And trump is just the narcissistic despot for the job, watch out for a palace coup by the serious people once he has ‘suspended’ democracy

@mott-the-hoople said2020's election was more than "fair"; it was fantastic!:

"Americans voted in record numbers in last year’s presidential election, casting nearly 158.4 million ballots. That works out to more than six-in-ten people of voting age and nearly two-thirds of estimated eligible voters, according to a preliminary Pew Research Center analysis.
Nationwide, presidential election turnout was about 7 percentage points higher than in 2016, regardless of which of three different turnout metrics we looked at: the estimated voting-age population as of July 1, that estimate adjusted to Nov. 1, and the estimated voting-eligible population, which subtracts noncitizens and ineligible felons and adds overseas eligible citizens. Based on these measures, turnout was the highest since at least 1980, the earliest year in our analysis, and possibly much longer."
"Turnout rates increased in every state compared with 2016"

I know right wingers hate when people vote (you know, especially "those" people) but by measure it was the best election in my lifetime for turnout and that was in the midst of a deadly pandemic. The American People should be proud of that result though we still lag a bit behind other established democracies in voter turnout.
