On election night, as the results looked to be in Trump’s favor, the baseless conspiracy theories about fraud began tapering off.
Schrödinger’s voter fraud
No, not true. They are saying that this time they knew to watch close, so the Democrats couldn’t pull of the same fraud as 2020. They are indeed stating that it is “supisious” that 13 Million Democratic voices where nowhere to be seen this time around, taking that as proof they were right all along.
That’s how this works. You take reality and then make it mean what you want it to mean. So that’s their take in regards to voter fraud.

What’s “fun” is when you realize an awful lot of people do this with an awful lot of topics all the fucking time. Probably including yourself.
We know they’ve tried electoral interference before, what are the chances they did it again this and it worked this time?
The GOP winning at all means it worked, just as it has in the past. Gerrymandering, voter purges, limiting access, corrupt judiciary, prisons, dark money groups, etc. That is how the GOP has won for several decades. They have NEVER been able to win a fair democratic election on a national level.
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.
Now they also control the social media platform that liberals and leftists used for organizing.
Half the country not showing up to the polls didn’t help
How common was voter purge this time around? Could it have impacted people who voted early?
My co-worker and I were talking about that last night. I told her that it’s amazing that not one fucking republican as uttered those two words, “voters fraud”, since Tuesday night. Isn’t it amazing how that is no longer a problem??? The fucking hypocrites!!!
I told her that it’s amazing that not one fucking republican as uttered those two words, “voters fraud”, since Tuesday night.
Oh, I’ve heard them use those words, mostly in context of claiming that their watchful eyes prevented those evil Democrats from being able to do it this time. You know, because the party that can’t win without voter suppression and gerrymandering believes that they are the party that can’t lose without voter fraud.
Well Dems did get 13 million fewer votes this time.
This is what I keep hearing: the drop in turn out proves the previous claims of fraud were correct.
They were so primed to complain about voting fraud that when they never got updated marching orders on what fraud to complain about, they just went back to the well.
It doesn’t prove fraud in the last election, obviously. But it does make fraud in this election dramatically less a consideration for those who might suspect it
Its almost as if, I don’t know, every single thing out of their mouth is completely fucking bullshit
I wonder if the government still controls the weather?
In the last few months, he claimed that “we have all the votes we need”, and his followers didn’t need to vote anymore, they were going to win. I immediately thought he meant they were going to cheat. I can’t find the place he said this, it was at a rally. It’s not the same as his comment that he made to a bunch of christians that said they won’t have to vote again in the future because they were going to “fix it”. This was after that. This guy is a lifelong con man, he lies and cheats. Somehow I believe he did that in this election. I hope they find out he paid for votes because that’s just his style.
Ah, so now it’s time for baseless accusations from our side, yes?
As long as there is no proof this is as much a conspiration theory as the the bullshit the right was spewing about in 2020.
Ah yes, it’s exactly the same with no differences, surely Trump isn’t known to be a cheat and a liar from every single other interaction he’s ever had with a human being. Surely he hasn’t stated publicly his intentions to cheat the election. No, he’s a perfect human being and we’re all just shouting about voter fraud because we’re stupid.
Ah yes, it’s exactly the same with no differences,
Not what I said.
surely Trump isn’t known to be a cheat and a liar
I think it need more than one person to cheat on this scale, no?
Surely he hasn’t stated publicly his intentions to cheat the election.
He hasn’t. He said they need no more votes. You are taking thins one thing he said and pretending it’s “intention to cheat the election.”. Which is simply not true. It could also mean that he is sure he will win, because he thinks he has got all the states he needs on his side. I’m sure there are more interpretations. But that’s all it is.
No, he’s a perfect human being
Never said that.
we’re all just shouting about voter fraud because we’re stupid.
Never said that. Your angry, hurt, what ever. Emotional. And I understand that. I’m absolutely devasted by this shot. And Isee how one might jump to conspiracy thinking in such a situation. I just don’t think it helps, so I’ll call it what it is. Not to attack you, as a person, or to call you names. Just because I don’t think it’s helpful.
I think we (as in “the left”) should try to base our opinions on facts and not repeat the shit the right is doing all the tame growing baseless accusations around.
My wife literally just told me this today. Apparently he said it multiple times - someone made a supercut. I haven’t seen it yet myself.
And yet I still have Facebook friends posting about how “all the states Kamala won are the ones that don’t require photo ID…”
Those aren’t your friends. Those are Nazis.
Of fucking course. These people really should try breathing through their noses.
Let’s move on. This is what the American people wanted. Let them burn it all down. The adults will pick up the pieces when it’s all over.
“The adults” can’t restore lost lives, and depending on how much “the adults” think they should take the moral high ground, they may only undo some of the damage, while normalize the rest.
Given their penchant for projection, has anyone considered that the fraud was coming from inside the house?
I believe we have one of the most secure elections in the world. I don’t believe in conspiratorial bullshit. I’m just saying, anything the Republicans accuse others with is frankly evidence that they are doing it themselves.
They tell me immigrants are eating pets? Yeah I’m going to say there’s definitely a non-zero chance that republicans are out there picking up roadkill cats and dogs. I mean Kennedy has probably done that 100 times himself.
So if the Republicans accuse Democrats of creating millions of fake votes I doubt it’s possible to do, but let’s double check anyway because now they’ve made me suspicious.
I believe we have one of the most secure elections in the world.
That’s unfortunate.
It’s very true. Voter fraud is statistically non-existent here.
I know this to be true, and I am very angry at the mistakes the Dems made in this campaign. But 15 million less Democrat voters? That seems like a LOT of people deciding to stay home. If you told me Jill Stein got 15 million votes, I’d find that easier to believe than 15 million just stayed home compared to 2020.
With record turnout out early voting. Don’t forget about that. The news were throwing that around a week before.
Can we also consider that intentionally making it harder to vote in Democrat leaning counties in otherwise Republican States is electoral fraud? Because it kinda is.
If you remove the word kinda, your comment becomes true
They literally had their supporters burn drop-off ballot boxes and destroy ballots. They literally intimidated other voters. They harassed poll workers and volunteers whose entire purpose is to ensure everyone who is eligible to vote has everything they need in order to do so. Yet no one is batting a fucking eye. THESE FUCKERS STOLE THE ELECTION. 15 million less votes than what Biden got and Trump got about the same as he did when he ran before. This stinks of interference.
I don’t think that the physical interference would have been enough to turn this one. The interference in the media/social media however was definitely the root cause to this. Along with Democrats shifting more right than they have in decades
Isn’t that weird?
It’s almost like they didn’t believe in their own claims.
Or they don’t want anyone investigating their victory too closely
They already caught republicans doing shady shit before Tuesday. Who knows how many they didn’t catch.
No, the narrative just changed. Good luck convincing anyone the 2020 election wasn’t stolen ever again.
“I told you. In 2020 we won all 50 states. Voter fraud by the millions. I was saying it all along. But we worked hard, we passed laws for election integrity, we watched the polls and they couldn’t cram their 10, 15 million votes into the boxes again. And look what happened. Instead of winning by 8 million votes, she lost by 6 million votes. Which is what should have happened last time.”
This is the narrative I’ve been hearing. The voters that just stayed home simply never existed in the first place, as far as they’re concerned. He’s going to use this victory as proof of his claim that he should have won last time, voter fraud was rampant, and Democrats are cheaters. And it’s going to work.
And it’s going to work.
Well, let’s face it - the target audience for such stupid narratives are his base, and they are dumb as a box of rocks.
Please don’t insult them. Boxes of rocks can still serve a purpose and don’t deserve to be denigrated like that.
No box of rocks ever called me a ______. Insert a slur!
No box of rocks ever had his picture taken with Jeffrey Epstein!
Remember that half of the population is below average.
I’m assuming that other 2% had other motivations.
Below average? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That’s honestly now how averages work. Most of the population is roughly average.
If roughly is within one standard deviation from average then most of the population is roughly average and half are below and half are above
Should we tell him who was president in 2020 and who was president in 2024? Oh right, it doesn’t matter to them as long as they repeat it a million times.
And used to support the claim to change voting in some way, or do away with it at least for Federal level.
Wait so I can’t just tweet, without context anymore just…
RIGGED!
Don’t worry, they’ll still have Biden, Clintons, and Kamala to blame for all of Donnie’s mistakes.
Don’t forget Obama!
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
Sorry, there was just an orange turd that made a law that made it illegal to not call him that
Thanks adespoton!
