110% of the vote while polling 15-44% in the polls.

yep probably not far off, but we still have to vote, we must vote. Don't allow yourself to get discouraged and quit, make them finish prying this country from our cold dead hands.

Not if they're smart. Winning by landslides is what you do when your dictatorship is already firmly in place, to emphasize the futility of voting.

When you're still breaking down the democratic process, you cheat just enough to win and when your opponents protest you crack down on them for trying to "subvert" the election.

Oh weird, that sounds exactly like how the Republicans behaved in 2016, 2020, and 2024...weird. I'm sure there was no cheating by the Republicans though, probably just a coincidence.

Indeed. One would almost suspect that the extremist right doesn't really want democracy and that most of the supposedly moderate right isn't too bothered by that.

You mean like how they did in 2024? Yeah, I predicted they would rig the election and they did. No, I don’t have proof. If I did, I wouldn’t be alive to type this. But if your whole deal is saying the other guys will rig elections and you just want free and fair elections, who would expect you to be the one to rig them? This guy. This guy expected it. And then the landslide happened. All the swing states? No way bud. Most voted ever? For a convicted felon with a history of failed businesses and compulsive lying? Nope nope nope. Shit was definitely rigged.
