Despite Biden's tally, Trump's supporters insist the election is not yet over

PHOENIX - Activists and supporters of President Donald Trump insisted Saturday that the presidential election was not finished, displaying defiance after Joe Biden secured victory in the closely fought race.

From here in the Arizona desert to Philadelphia, Trump backers echoed the president's attacks on the integrity of the election, which continued Saturday with his statement that "this election is far from over." They made baseless allegations of voter fraud and pledged to keep fighting in court while claiming Biden did not legitimately win.

"We know the election is being stolen," said Michael Breitenbach, a 47-year-old construction manager in Philadelphia who was holding a Trump flag Saturday morning not long after news outlets called the race. "When the count is fair and legal, Donald Trump will have won by a landslide, and you can bank on that."

Trump's supporters have only considered him a winner - in business, as a celebrity, and ultimately as president of the United States. The election results, revealed Saturday after days of waiting for straggling states to tally their returns, indicated otherwise this time: Biden has won at least 279 electoral votes, enough to claim the presidency. He also garnered 74.5 million individual votes - the most in the nation's history and more than 4 million above Trump's total.

Instead of accepting those results, the president's devotees spurned them. They gathered at so-called "Stop the Steal" rallies at state capitols across the country to claim, without evidence, that ballot counts favorable to Biden stem from a sprawling, multistate conspiracy to hijack the vote through fraud. It is unclear how widespread such views are beyond these events and high-profile conservative figures, and some GOP figures have pushed back on claims of a rigged election.

Well, clear battle lines are being drawn in what will amount to CW II.

Biden underperforms in all of the urban areas but overperforms in the 4 cities he needs to win the Battle ground states?

This is the most glaringly obvious election fraud since the communist leaders routinely won 99.99% tally in their fake elections. What is more insulting is that they didn’t even try to hide it very well. In your face out and out cheating.

I will never accept this charade.

Sadly if SCOTUS does not give us justice we may have to figure a way to do just that.

Hopefully peacefully. And this is all the Dem’s making.

We will need hero’s to come forward. The problem is how can we ever have a fair election again if there is no justice. And if that is the case our method of resolving differences has been taken from us and we are left looking for alternatives.

Roger that.
I'm caught behind enemy lines right now - planning to cut my logistics tail and redeploy to a Red State this summer.

Trump has NOT lost this election. He WON on election night.

This will be settled in the SCOTUS and it WILL go to Trump

WATCH!!!!

As much as I would like to think that the SCOTUS is about protecting its institution...They suspect under a Biden regime they would be attacked so better to go along and get along...

I think this is one of the more difficult facts for Biden supporters to try to explain away.

“They made baseless allegations of voter fraud...”

Says the commie rag that was “Russia Russia Russia!” 24-7-365 in scripted chorus with the other MSM.

Those people believe we are mostly all ignorant, gullible rubes like our welfare-reliant, feminists and Millennials.

They also believe those of us that aren’t the above are nadless tolerators, that won’t fight oppression.

If general vote count situation were reversed, you can bet that the communist media and their party bosses at the demonkkkrap HQ would not be declaring Trump the winner because the recounts and legal challenges had not been completed.

Don’t expect any action by the courts. They are already influenced by the political pressure created by the media and demonkkkraps claiming victory .... and the riots that will ensue. They are afraid and will find that it is better to accept fraudulent and unconstitutional votes, banking on the fact that the real Americans (who support Trump) have a history of love of country, play by the Queensbury rules and will now sit down, grumble and allow themselves to be the objects of scorn and worse by the communist leftists that are the demonkkkraps...while hoping for change in the next election. But as you ask, and I shall answer - it is difficult to envision a fair election.

This is Bidens problem, we KNOW the election’s been stolen. This is why Biden won’t get to be president, won’t get to rule. We won’t ever accept these counts because we KNOW they’re fake. These fools have no idea what they are unleashing.

Nothing to see...move along. And it’s not as if he hit all those battleground States with heavy campaigning or anything he showed up a couple times the last few days and that was it.

If this fraud is allowed to stand, then I AM DONE.

I will never vote again.

This is the only form of protest I have that MIGHT get the attention of the Republicans in Congress.

I have just emailed my Senator and House of Representative member. I am not from one of the states where the results are in dispute. I have written that I like them very much, but they needs to pass this on to the other republicans in Congress: I AM DONE if this fraud is allowed to stand. I will refuse to take part in a process where hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots can be trucked in at 3am and allowed to stand.

So when 2022/2024 rolls around for these Republicans, they will lose.

I urge all of you to email your Congressman/Senator and tell them the same. If they think their butts are on the line in 2022/2024, they might break their silence next week.

Next week is everything. The lamestream media has been gaslighting all weekend about how it's all over and Biden is now president and any effort to challenge that is just Trumptards being sore losers.

We have to have Republican voices strongly challenging the fraud. So far, all we have gotten is Chris Christie and Mittens telling Trump to accept the fraud.

The ONLY thing that will rouse these silent Republicans to rally to the cause is if they think they will pay a price at the next election.
