Election denialism emerges on the left after Trump’s win
Conspiracy theories that the election was miscounted, hacked and stolen have spread in some left-leaning online communities.

Even if Trump had lost, one fact remains: tens of millions of Americans voted for this guy three times in a row.
The first time, it's conceivable that Americans made a mistake.
The second time, they knew Trump as actual President.
The third time, they knew Trump as a convicted felon, insurrectionist and overtly wannabe dictator, and they voted for him even harder.
At this point, MAGA isn't a freak event, it's the norm. Even if the dems had won, they'd have won the presidency of a MAGA country, and quite frankly, what's the point... You can't cure someone who wants to be sick.
You left out, "convicted rapist".
There should be no need to pile on. Any one of those things would have been disqualifying in times past. Clinton almost got impeached over a blowjob. But Trump and all the things he said and done over the past 9 years is somehow okay. The mind boggles.
It's astonishing to me that anyone ever entertained the idea that MAGA was a freak event, even back in 2016.
I had no illusion in 2016. In fact, I had no illusion back in 2002 when I left the US and gave up my citizenship after Dubya was elected and signed the USA Patriot Act into law after 9/11. America is hosed and has been officially on the path to idiocracy and fascism since then.
It's just that a 3rd round of millions of Trump votes should confirm it without the shadow of a doubt to even the most wide-eyed believers in American exceptionalism. America today is the 1933 Germany of our time.
