If all these people voted for someone else, Trump would not be our president. WAIT!
Some people who voted for Trump have repented and joined the movement for democracy in America.
But also, there are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2024 elections and a nontrivial possibility that Trump didn't win the election.
Yep. Important to not assume the election was fraudulent. But there is a case filed to interrogate some anomalous results in at least some districts. It's definitely possible that foul play was involved.
Some reasons to suspect foul play:

If it turns out to be fraudulent, I expect he will immediately step down, and everybody ruling, EO, and anything in-between that his administration has made will be immediately made null and void, and the person who actually won will assume office...oh, and then he gets to visit the inside of a prison where he belongs.
😂 good one. We're all fucked because republicans are allowing this fascistic charade to continue to happen.
The fucking traitors know exactly what's happening, and they hate America enough to actively ignore it.
They won't do their jobs until forced to.
A guy can dream
I said essentially this last night and was down voted to hell lol apparently I needed the sarcasm.
That was sarcasm?
I wasn't being sarcastic, I was being hopeful.
It's Trump. You know, the adjudicated serial rapist (Inmate #P01135809).
There was foul play.
There was objectively foul play, the real question is if it was enough to turn the election.
I'm not so sure, but sadly our constitution doesn't have a mechanism to rewind anyway. All we could do is impeach and remove him, and then just keep impeaching and removing successors until we get someone sane.
Personally, I'm for a constitutional amendment to fix this, but it'll never happen.
I'm waiting for the results of the lawsuits. I said "I'm not so sure," but that doesn't mean I think the election was stolen, either. It means I'm not certain either way.
But it doesn't really matter either way. Say ironclad evidence comes out that he stole the election; we have no means to walk it back.
"Winning by cheating" is NOT equal to "winning".

Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled last month that the allegations from SMART Legislation, the action arm of nonpartisan watchdog SMART Elections, were substantial enough to advance to discovery.
“There is clear evidence that the Senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely,” SMART Legislation founder and executive director Lulu Friesdat said in a statement published by the Associated Press.

The lawsuit is supported by election integrity experts, including Susan Greenhalgh, who pointed out the suspicious results where down-ballot races like Congress had votes, but the presidential column was blank—an extremely rare occurrence.
This raised serious questions about whether the voting machines malfunctioned, were tampered with, or failed to register certain selections.

Dr. Walter Mebane, Jr. of theUniversity of Michigan, has found statistical evidence of vote manipulation in the 2024U.S. election. His working report analyzing the 2024 Pennsylvania election resultscorroborates the findings of Election Truth Alliance’s (ETA), a non-partisan nonprofit that recently shared an analysis of election results in three counties in Pennsylvania.

Doubtful. It’s a lot for a protest but not for an election.
What percentage of these people do you think voted for Trump in the first place?
What does it matter what I think?
I mean, "matter"? I guess it doesn't.
But you were saying things would have been different if they hadn't all voted for Trump. I was just pointing out that they probably didn't for the most part.
Yeah, but genocide and feelings and all that
