      Election interference would conservatively require thousands of people working together in secret. It us extremely unlikely Trump was able to cheat like this.

      Trump won because stupid people believed he could or would bring down prices and voted for him more than they voted for Harris.

        All / most conspiracies would require that. And if you have like a 10 person friend group, you know that people aren’t capable of keeping secrets like that. There’s a reason why there were the “loose lips sink ships” posters.

          Yeah, the Department of Defense has to hold regular “know your number” meetings, to remind old shits with security clearance that if a hot woman is flirting with you, she’s 100% a spy. Basically, they have to be super blunt and tell all the horny dudes “you’re a fucking 2 out of 10, maybe a 3.5 at best. You look like a potato that is a little too old, and you smell like wet beef and cigarette smoke. If you’re at the bar after work and an early-20’s dime is flirting with you, it’s because she wants something besides sex. Know your number, because the fact that the 10 is even within arms reach should throw up all kinds of red flags.”

          And they have to do this specifically because the “send in a hot woman to get him drunk, then act really interested when he says he works for the DoD” strategy is so incredibly effective.

          You can do some grand conspiracies as my grandfather knew it was odd that the DoD in WWII wouldn’t let him talk about the math he was doing but he figured there had to be some reason (the Manhattan Project) but didn’t know what it was for.

            Yeah cool that’s an NDA. But pretty much everyone knew what it was being used after it was used. No 50 year conspiracy. Just a secret project.

      Of course he is, and there was. There’s a reason bullet ballots were orders of magnitude higher than the previous elections, but only in swing states.

      Yeah, people who win legitimately don’t talk like this when their opponents aren’t fighting their wins. Everything here is pretty fishy ngl
