That it doesn’t surprise anyone that Trump lost is something they have a hard time grasping. But I sense that they slowly will.
Bears repeating that Trump stood no chance of winning re-election.

Then why is the election so close even with the Democrats committing massive Mail In Voter Fraud? Why did they need to cheat to just make it even close?

This was a Coup, not an election.

I believe all voters cast their ballot against Trump, white, republican or otherwise. The only thing Trump's lawsuits are revealing is that more people voted him out.

He just was a terrible president everyone wanted gone. It's really that simple.

All the while the pandemic kept growing. Now, we are facing 2,000 deaths per day (60,000 per month at this rate), a million new cases every five days, and all around the country hospital beds are becoming scarce.



I am still amazed that Mr. Trump got as many votes as he did. I guess repetitive lying works.

That sad fact shows that those in Trump's base have what are probably very deep and long-lasting character disorders, that make them unsuited to be a part of a democracy. The better parts of human nature that underlie a population that has a successful government and will cause it to serve its citizens, somehow did not develop in them. I'm wondering if Trump figured out on his own, that there were so many of that kind of people out there to be exploited, or if some Svengali-like adviser was pulling his strings from behind the curtain?

There was no fraud. there is no evidence of it & even republicans are beginning to get uncomfortable with Trump spewing this nonsense.
The only people believing this are the party of Trump.

Mail in voting can not be monitored and controlled to avoid fraud. That's a fact and the Democrats used that to its fullest extent.

So, what made White voters flip on Trump or the GOP this election cycle?


Trump lost the popular vote in both elections.

Who flipped?

Every one of the white people I know voted Trump. And I know a lot of people.

Prove it.
You live in a vote-by-mail state. Let's see the reports of wholesale fraud in Colorado's elections.


As for the OP: I believe that the lack of response to the pandemic was the final straw for many.

Thats the voting laws. Change them. Same as Trump using the tax laws to escape paying.
