Data that makes no statistical sense. A clean sweep in all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue.
“When the hurricane blew through, every single window of my house was broken. Surely you’d think at least one would survive through sheer chance. I refuse to believe my windows could’ve been that breakable, so this is evidence that my house was sabotaged.”
Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.
It couldn’t possibly be that lots of low-information voters who don’t give a shit about the rest of the ballot didn’t like Kamala and decided to take another flyer on Trump because he was at least promising to shake things up and take action, obviously it’s a conspiracy. We made it very clear that the economy was fine, and that if you were feeling financially stressed, no you weren’t.
If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan.
And this is obviously impossible because the author doesn’t feel like it could happen. Surely the United States would never elect a bad person, that’s not like us at all.
Look, the results were pretty uniform across all 50 states, across all 50 completely isolated and different voting systems. The country took a big swing to the right, in swing states and uncompetitive ones, in states with paper ballots and electronic ones. We told the right this same stuff in 2020, it was true then, and it’s true now. Rigging so many elections on the scale it would take to swing the overall results requires an insanely huge conspiracy with no leaks and no mistakes and perfect accounting for the massive number of public statistics and results surrounding elections. If it happened, we’d have more than a handful of conspiracy theorists saying “but these numbers look funny” and until that happens, pay this whole thing no mind.

It’s very very very, bordering on impossible, for people to accept that Trump won.
It is a massive indictment of the apathy of the average American.
