The cries that the 2020 election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. But If voter fraud had impacted the 2020 election, it would already have been proven.

Can a steady diet of lies and innuendo overcome the truth?

In November 2020, former President Donald Trump asserted that voter fraud had altered the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign hired an expert in voter data to attempt to prove Trump’s allegations and put him back in the White House.

I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign.

The findings of my company’s in-depth analysis are detailed in the depositions taken by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The transcripts show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

And yet, the cries that the election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. Whether a stump speech, outrageous lawsuits like the so-called Kraken cases filed by Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani’s lies or the ongoing misguided efforts of people determined to prove the election was stolen, the constant drumbeat hardens people’s hearts and minds to the truth about the 2020 election.

    Trump keeps ruining US politics. Until his movement dies, the progressive movement is on hold. Enough moderates will prop up candidates like Clinton and Biden. The progressives can vote 3rd party, but at the risk of seeing the Supreme Court fucked for decades more and the executive branch becoming uncontrollable.

    I’m a moderate liberal myself but I think it’s wild to assume America doesn’t need a bit more socialism. I don’t see how anyone in the lower middle and lower class can effectively raise children.

    Honestly that’s probably the best selling point to progressives to vote for Biden. Killing the MAGA movement for good will allow them to unpause their own movement

      His movement first died after the civil war when the know nothings pretended to forget about antebellum politics. They’re only relevant as a function of their corrupt political leadership and there are fascist (Roman) Republican active measures out there whose only job is to transfer outrage from specific members of the Republican party to Small-D democratic systems and players writ large.
