Illegitimate Election
[2]

The day after the election I was fine conceding to Biden. Even through all evidence/proof of fraud (dead people voting, people showing up to the polls with records showing they already voted, states not following their own laws for mail-in ballots, etc.) I still maintained the idea fraud was not widespread enough to make a difference.
However, now given how all social media outlets have made it known they are and were as anti-Trump as anyone, it is clear to me social media influenced the election far more than could have been done by Russia (and others) in 2016. Russia paid for a few FB ads and had people creating fake accounts and making posts to further their cause. Imagine how much more effective a social media campaign can be if the social media company itself, with access to everything, wanted one side to win. These companies have total control of 100s of millions of user’s accounts and a lot of control of what these people see and think, especially the libs glued to social media 24/7.
It is clear to me and millions of other voters the election was illegitimate, not necessarily based on widespread fraud, but based on the monopolies run by FB, Google, and Twitter. These companies had an agenda and actively pursued it. This is very clear now that they are banning/deleting Trump and other conservative people and groups for nonsensical reasons and allowing mass murderers and international terrorists to maintain their presence. This is the type of chit you see in China.
And the hate that continues to rage from the pathetic democratic leadership is not doing anything but generating emotional potential energy in advance of the next and likely more violent rally/protest. Unless Biden can begin talking to the half of the country that didn’t want him to be president, there is high potential for bad and worse things in the future.

Uh, NC Tiger,
When you have a spoiled-rotten child pretending to be the President (between his parties, golf, glorified-ego rallies, FoxFakeNews appearances, lying tweets, etc.) and then he, Guiliani, and Don Jr incite a seditious riot to overturn the required work of Congress; and all of that is based upon an incredible ly that there was fraudulent voting even though all of the battleground states checked, checked and checked again and found nothing. And 60 cases in court were all rejected because NO evidence of intentional voting fraud was found. And TheRump was going on Twitter calling for another, more significant riot on Jan 20th, you think it's okay for social media companies to allow this conman (TheRump) to continue his attempts to overthrow the govt. You think it was okay when he tried to get the threaten the Georgia Secretary of State into changing the voting results after 3 recounts and two certifications by GOP election officials. And, all of this by a fake President with over 25,000 DOCUMENTED lies by TheRump during his so-called presidency. Did you not know that the Capitol invaders planned to kill Pelosi and Pence; and still will if they get the chance. And you are upset because he lost his Tweeter account. Get real. Grow-up. Educate yourself. The dumbness of the cult of TheRump is astounding.

Trump tore that party in half and will take a decade for them to recover. Trump tossing a live grenade at the feet of VP pence will not help them with the Evangelicals and will just open the door for unelectable nutjob like Ted Cruz. They are f'd.

been president none of this would have happened. They all got brainwashed and hitched their ride to a lunatic. The GOP is so fractured right now, it would be best if it dissolved and rebranded quickly.

when 43% of your party approves of the storming of the capital, you got problems.

They just have trouble voting for a party that is responsible for infanticide under the guise of health care.

Exactly! Evangelicals have no choice but to vote for the Republican being offered. Infanticide is the deal breaker.

The GOP will never let go of that wedge issue, at least not on the federal level. If roe were overturned, not only would the evangelicals no longer have use for the republican party, but the blow back from women voters would be legendary, it would be the final death nail in the party.

that is why cruz finished second to Trump, and he is posturing himself to make a run in 2024. He is completely unelectable in a general election.

The Dem Party is pretty much a conglomerate of special interest groups from abortion rights to gay marriage to BLM.

Liberal Harvard professor Dershowitz, said that Ted Cruz was the most brilliant student he ever had. That is high praise for a "nut job".

A guy who's gonna risk getting locked up just to suck up to a guy who repeatedly attacked his own character and humiliated him and his wife on a national stage not even 4 years ago.
I hope you don't call yourself a man if you're trying to support that cuck.

No matter how many facts you provide, they still believe in conspiracy theories and unproven information.
It will be a grand psychological case study over the next several decades.

the issue you have is those 60-70 million will not ALL rally around the next guy. They are Trump's people, half of them no longer belong to the GOP. A new party will likely emerge.

But if I may make a suggestion: don’t get too hung up on politics. It’s really not worth it.
I said in another post recently that it would help our country if we all start treating these political actors with the same passion we would the average wrench hanging on the wall of the garage. Nothing more.
If we build them up into things they are not, they will only take more and more of our souls. They are really not worth this amount of angst.

Trump tries to incite an insurrection, his mob of idiots storm the Capitol, and when social media bans him because of this, you take his side.
I'll truly never understand how in love y'all are with this man. There isn't an American on the planet--at least not one that loves this country--who should be on Trump's side right now.
But then again, this insurrection is what you wanted.

It's conspiracies all the way down, isn't it

There's no truth, there's no accountability, there's only excuses and lies.
And you wonder why that Trumpian path is taking you to more and more election losses. Trump took over with a House and Senate majority, and in 4 years managed to lose both those majorities and the white house. He's a loser.
Yet you won't self-reflect and apply Occam's Razor to why you keep lose elections. Here's why: 75 million people might believe in conspiracies perpetuated by Trump, but 80 million people don't. And that's more than enough to run the conspiracists out of office and return to truth and accountability.

Hahaha what a joke. Those companies can do what they want.

And all the people that joined those platforms chose to do so voluntarily and freely. No is forcing them to be there. And there’s fake news on Facebook, just as there is fake news on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. You don’t have to watch either of those shows, just like you don’t have to be on Facebook. If you want to go to a source that has misinformation, and use that to change your opinion and vote accordingly, you are free to do so. Everyone uses their own information/misinformation from many different companies to decide who to vote for, and everyone did that freely and fairly on Nov 2. Just because you didn’t like the result doesn’t make it illegitimate. Thankfully in this country we allow businesses to operate how they choose to, unlike what Trumpies want which is government control of private businesses.

Facebook was used extensively by his team. Zuck visited the whitehouse numerous times over past four years.
