No, they would ensure they never lost an election and, as some people here have said, they would ‘destroy our constitution’. Which, by the way, <em>nobody</em> can do. This is all propaganda used to blatantly lie to Americans in an attempt to get their votes. On top of all this, if Donald Trump had as much support as he claims, why didn’t any of his claims of fraud result in widespread recounts? Why did the investigations come up as dry as they did?

However, his claims of widespread voter fraud did not have any solid evidence to back them up. He says the record number of voters doesn’t make sense, and had to be fraud. He says the pandemic was used to cheat. However, that is not so. In fact, Trump tried to use the pandemic himself, in attempts to suppress voters. Covid made this election more important than any in recent history by far, of course it drew in record numbers of voters! Trump refuses to acknowledge that, however. Not to mention, the pandemic, which is very real, made it difficult for people to actually get out and vote. Trump continuously spoke against the efforts to make voting more accessible to the American people. Refusing to accommodate voters in such a way is clear voter suppression. With all of his claims of fraud, where during his rally speech he claimed ‘every state’ had been subject to voter fraud, despite all his claims of evidence, how is it that not a single one was proven in a court of law? Either Democrats control everything, like some claim, despite the Republican Party being in control of the House and Senate, and despite Trump’s so called ‘silent majority’, or there simply was no actual evidence of widespread voter fraud. “Trump and his allies have won one lawsuit related to the results of the 2020 election, and that case did not prove that widespread voter fraud affected the outcome.”</p><p></p><p>“And they try and demean everybody having to do with us.” Trump said.</p><p></p><p>Excuse me?

[QUOTE="2021, post: 209983, member: 13106"] Recent developments, discussions, and accusations between politicians has only further convinced me that Donald Trump had every intention to incite the riot at the Capitol. In case it wasn’t clear enough, Trump called the riot a “love fest”. And let’s not forget how his rioting supporters were actually let into the Capitol, and how he urged them to target Pence while using language that skirted around taking responsibility for his supporters actions.
