yeah there were wonky results and "irregularities" in the '24 election, and yeah Trump's "Elon rigged it" boast is now famous, after Elon lost a relatively small and riggable SCOWI seat yesterday, idk that the "rigged" stuff makes much sense. I think a lot of voters are just dumb racist assholes, - ThreadSky

Amir, please don’t tell me you actually think the 2024 election was rigged? Please don’t tell me you’re entertaining conspiracy theories.

A message for anyone who actually believes this.

He is saying something more like the opposite.

Shows america has a serious problem, John Oliver was right "alot of people were ok with Mr 45 winning and we need to talkn about that, it's serious problem!"

Like, for simplicity sake. If it was 100 million people for the USA population. And 40 million were OK with Mr 45. THATS FUCKING CONCERNING

gilau.bsky.social•4 days ago

I suspect you are right.

again, as a Mexican, I see the number of racist, bigots, misogynistic, and self-hate Hispanics who voted for him, and it brings me a lot of shame. I feel the following of Trump is a symptom of the world, not only of America.

I think it's both and more
People are assholes, but I'd be way more surprised if Trump didn't cheat than if he did

And also an insane amount of people being disenfranchised, all the voter registry purges and prohibitive policies etc

amirtalai.bsky.social•4 days ago

completely agree. But voter purges, a visible and thus preventable form of disenfranchisement, should not be conflated with "elon used an algorithm to change votes", which is just magical thinking

nigelstorscdt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh absolutely!

Sadly reality is often the biggest disappointment.

Your assessment of the situation is almost certainly correct.

Word among the locals here in WI is that many lifelong Republicans voted Crawford specifically because Elon showed up and tried to buy votes. Elon is too bad at securing the blue collar vote to rig a national election 🙃

The biggest issue the U.S. has is white supremacy. Racism is what drives a lot of (if not all) republicans. That and puritanical, misogynistic, anti-queer bullshit. 🙄

Also, unsurprising that a lot of red states have the worst education but hey..

Trump did say he loves the poorly educated. 😒

(there should be a 'but' before the word 'after')

amirtalai.bsky.social•4 days ago

and also the Democratic party often runs a lot of shitty candidates
