Hate him—but my bet is on him winning in 2024. Not because I want him, but because this is gonna be rigged correctly this time. The 2020 election attempt was just a foot in the water to see if it would be chopped off, and since nothing happened the full attack is coming.
Pessimistic paranoia is no more useful than optimistic willful ignorance. There's no indication that there was a meaningful attempt to rig the 2020 election on either side, so I don't know why you're alleging there was. I do think it's reasonable to predict that the Far Right will try hard this time to interfere with the voting process and create chaos in order to claim that said election was rigged, but I also think it's a reasonable prediction that States will take even more precautions this time around to ensure election integrity. Just wait and see what happens. I too got burned in 2016 in that I didn't think Trump had a chance in Hell, but my new position is simply not to try to make predictions. If Trump really does win, I suspect it will be because swing voters decided to be idiots again, and we as a nation will deserve what happens to us. However, it may be that they've finally seen enough of Trump to know him for what he is by this point.
2024 is going to be a national IQ test for America. Hopefully, we'll come out only semi-retarded.
