Well, Trump and friends rigged the election, so I wouldn't say it's what the countrymen wanted.

    Uh evidence? Bullshit from people on the left is every bit as bad as bullshit from the right.

    They did it legally through gerrymandering and said they were going to "fix the machines" before the election. I believe them. Trump even said months before the election to not worry about the votes, he's got it covered or something like that. This was way before Biden got old.

    Gerrymandering doesn't apply to presidential elections.

    Yes it does in some states. The people who were elected through gerrymandering have a say in who runs the election boards and what the election laws are in a lot of those states. You can bet your ass that they have charts upon charts laying out exactly which states and how they can do that.

    Trump said this in the context of Christians who usually don’t vote. “Vote for me this once and you won’t need to vote again”.

    Not like that really matters because of his other actions and also facts don’t mean anything anymore.

    You're right, but he said it in other ways as well. It had another shitty headline like, "People are concerned by Trump's voting declaration."

    Ya I agree with you. He has stated his intentions in many ways through his actions. The problem is:

    A right winger sees people misquoting him, makes a YouTube video pointing out how “silly the left is” by this technical misquote, and then an impressionable non political person goes ‘damn they’re right’ and now starts listening to Joe Rogan.

    I don't give a shit about a youtuber, they'll make shit up if they do or don't need to. I see the right wing as being ran by trolls at this point. Ya know, because they are. There are paid trolls here on Lemmy, I can't imagine how bad youtube is.

    You’re in a war and I’m saying that this is giving your enemy additional ammunition. You’re totally correct - they’re ran by trolls. Trolls are highly effective weapons against those with poor media literacy. The majority are media illiterate and lack digital skills.

    They literally just demanded Texas gerrymander. Also, the Supreme Court who was stacked conservative demanded Alabama redraw district lines for disenfranchising black people. Alabama refused, and it was such a pathetic cheat that their own side had to once again demand the draw lines fairly. The only evidence of election tampering is the kaleidoscope swirls that are the voting district lines in red states. It is stealing and cheating.
