On election night, as the results looked to be in Trump’s favor, the baseless conspiracy theories about fraud began tapering off.

    I know that most progressives are just crying in their beer and looking for someone in their party or an adjacent political group to blame, but why isn’t more attention being brought to the many many efforts by Republicans and their overseas allies to corrupt the election and disenfranchise Democrats? I’m disgusted by the institutionalism that leads our leaders to call and congratulate the fascists rather than holding our own rallies to demand accountability for election irregularities.

      It’s really odd to me that they just quietly conceded and moved straight to complaining about the loss. Conservatives have been screaming about election fraud for years and every accusation is a confession with them…I would not be surprised if the numbers are fictional

      Because it doesn’t matter anymore. Elections are over and won’t be happening again.

        Ye! I hate how many people are talking about trump as if his reign will only be 4 years. They’ll martyr him, and Vance will take the over dictatorship, then before elections happen again, some “emergency” will arise to let him declare martial law and cancel elections.

        Folks, we’re living in Nazi Germany now. Go read up on it. The people at the top of maga certainly have.
