Yes, Trump has cheated and stolen his entire life, but the logical conclusion isn’t that he stole the 2024 election, it is that he would want to steal the election, as he wanted to in 2020, but failed.

2024 election denialism is as kooky and evidence free as 2020 election denialism.

There is as much verifiable evidence that the 2024 election was stolen as there is that the 2020 election was stolen: ZERO

Denialism is a faulty coping mechanism to avoid the painful emotions that come with accepting the reality that Trump won a second term. It keeps the believer stuck in the Denial and Anger stages of the grieving cycle, making it more difficult to effectively address the very real challenges that lie before us.

The simple, painful fact is, nine million fewer people voted in 2024 compared to 2020 , more than enough to explain Trump’s victory, especially considering he only lost by 88,000 votes in three states in 2020.

But that fact won’t stop this kooky, CT nonsense-filled post from rising to the top of the Greatest Page, just like all the other 2024 Election Denial posts do.
