$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JuanP', 'I') think that the goal of everything that has been going on since the Capitol event is to prevent Trump from running in 2024 because the anti Trump crowd is terrified by the idea that Trump could run and win again. I believe that if we hadn't had the COVID-19 pandemic Trump would have won the election. It was Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic that cost him the election.
And we'll probably never know how much fraud went on and whether that affected the final outcome or not, but it's definitely possible that fraud affected the result of the election.
Joining the insurrectionists, JuanP?
The election is a done deal. For every election, we should try our best. Unless one can make a case in court, forget it because the winner is the chosen one. Let us not forget that Republicans stole an election from Al Gore which would have changed the course of history (not because he was brilliant as he wasn't even able to win his own state, but because we was not as qualified as Cheney in the ability to start a war ostensibly to benefit just the oil companies). If there was any fraud, it was voter disenfrancisement and every election cycle, this battle is renewed.
I think it is going to be something of legend how Trump could have won if he wasn't such a demented self-centered con man. He played what he knew so well and look at how that shot him in the foot eventually. He couldn't have acted any differently than what first allowed him to be elected. But, it was so close. I think he is ruined by the Capitol riot, so that was a fortuitous event for the country. Forever, he will be branded as the insurrectionist who wasn't for law and order after all.
