The Republicans could not be any more stupid if they tried, Trump has shown them the way to expand the party by attracting minorities and traditional democrats who have been screwed over by the current democrats...the current Republicans are going to throw it all away like they always have.

I have now come to believe that Republicans are simply part of the Washington DC spending cartel and they are only interested in keeping the game going because it makes them rich.

So many people of modest means go to Washington DC and then leave it very wealthy.

The election was a fraud with manufactured ballots which were the consequence of greatly loosened rules.

Mail in ballots. Easy for Democrats to flood the mailboxes. And they probably engaged in illegal ballot harvesting. Only California allowed that. But it doesn't matter that the rules were broken.

The 19th was bad, and the 17th wasn't good, but the two amendments most responsible for the damage to this nation were the 14th, (Abortion, Homosexual marriage, Anchor Babies, stopped prayer in Schools, etc.) and the 24th. (Broke the negative feedback loop that prevented reckless spending in Washington DC.)

In my opinion, the absolute worst amendment was the 24th. It's what allowed the government to start bribing voters with taxpayer money, and it started the reckless spending spree that Washington DC has become.

The national Republicans wanted Trump out too. I think it was because he threw a monkey wrench into their influence selling.

Only 61 House Republicans voted to expel Liz Cheney. There are 45 Freshmen Republicans serving in Congress right now. I would say half of them would be pro Trump. There are 166 Republican Congressmen who are not freshmen, out of that group, maybe 30 of them are pro Trump. Just a guess here.

Biden got 7% more of the white male vote and Trump got 1% less - an 8 point swing. That’s a substantial amount of voters. The bulk of the third-party voting white males decided to instead for Biden. Trump significantly improved percentage wise among other groups, but if their turnout was massively higher with the Dems mail-in voting schemes, the better percentages were offset by the turnout.

If you look at the numbers in some of the swing states that he lost, Trump actually got not only more votes, but a higher percentage of the vote than in 2016 when he won them. The problem is that far fewer people voted third party this time. Biden’s advertising campaigns targeting this handful of voters paid dividends, and the hate for Trump was so united, and Biden was not as disliked as Hillary was.

You are correct, he got more votes than last time, increased his percentage of blacks and Latinos and Asians and we are expected to believe he lost to Basement Hiding Biden.

In my view it was about completing the fundamental transformation of the US into North Mexico initiated by GHW Bush and continued by all of his successors until Trump.
Trump was a genuine threat to stop or reverse the theft of our sovereignty and the subsequent surrender of the country to the New World Order.

Plus, Biden had the full cooperation of the Tech Oligarchs pushing him and dissing Trump.

Everyone hated Hillary. Independent voters went for Trump in ‘16. Now they went for Biden in ‘20. Obviously, voter fraud happened. But I’m not sure if it was significant enough to decide the election. Media was able to mobilize their voters to go out and vote against Trump.

That’s my take on it as well, but if you mention that around these parts you get tarred and feathered. “Trump won! Fraud! Blah blah blah”. The hate for Trump was intense and all consuming. That’s why he lost.

The hatred of Trump promoted by the Media and the Tech Oligarchs translated into justifying any voter fraud necessary to get rid of Trump.

In 2016 I voted against clinton. In 2020 I voted for Trump. Had I known that election fraud was permitted in 2020 I might have voted for Trump a third time.

Initially I was not sure of Trump in 2016. I saw him as the Republican version of Bill Clinton. Obviously, he had proved me wrong.
