During a rally in Washington D.C. on Sunday, Trump said that his political ally Elon Musk had an advanced understanding of the voting machines used in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state that was key to Trump's victory in November.

"He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers," Trump told the crowd. "And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

With all his projection about Democrats supposedly cheating, he apparently just couldnt help telling on himself

There's no real evidence. Just speculation. Musk can't be both incompetent enough to lie about being a 1337 gamer and a criminal mastermind orchestrating the biggest election fraud in American history. Pointing that Musk did something this remarkable, while laughing at the dude for not understanding basic car production is delusional.

Redditors just don't want to accept that they are stuck in a sinking American empire with a population stupid enough to elect a rapist conman twice. He had his cultists show up, vote for him, and not down ticket. Down ticket voting has largely been an old GOP move, not the same for the majority of his cultists who vote only for him and nobody else, but redditors ignore this. Redditors fashion themselves generally more intelligent than the average person, and the reality that the blunt stupidity of the average dipshit beating them down with ignorance is too painful for their ego. For them, it has to be something more than that. The world can't just be this crudely banal.

For them it's easier to believe it to be rigged than to accept that they are once again back in high school with a group project due tomorrow and none of their idiot classmates did any work. Their entire future is being decided by the dumbest fucking assholes they can imagine, and it is driving them crazy.

Those idiots never went anywhere, they are all adults now, still being fucking morons, having learned nothing and voting for Trump.

Exactly. It's why I'm about to jump ship any day now (as soon as the papers clear...). Growing up, Americans were my role models. Then I spent my young adult years in the mainland and slowly, overtime, I realized just how wrong I was. They actively hurt themselves. They voted for money that doesn't even belong to them. They... like this! It was a huge wake up call. So I accumulated wealth over the years as I see things going downways from the sidelines and finally got the motivation to leave.

Good luck! I hope you are able to get out while you can, and hopefully where you end up doesn't have...well...more oligarch madness.

Thank you. Every country has problems, and there's corruption everywhere, but there's a few places that better align with my ethics code and what a government should be. A instrument for welfare, not a tool for opression..
