Foreign actors ain't the ones who elected this putrid piece of human refuse to the highest office in the land TWICE. It's the great retardnation of America.
Yes, there is a huge percentage of the American people that were conned. Also, he cheated his ass off this last time as well. He did it mostly legally by planting stooges that rigged the elections in various ways into small governments. But he also admitted to fucking with the machines by saying he had the election won, don't worry months before the election.
I'm not sure of how close it would have been without the above things happening. Also, most people don't realize that it's usually 1-2% of who voted who decide the election. Not a huge amount of people comparatively speaking.

You miss the point.
The finer points of the crazy US electoral system shouldn't even enter into any of this: the single, most damning fact in both elections is that 77 MILLION morons voted for Trump, when it should have been 77 THOUSAND at the most if the population had a normal median IQ.
That's the problem. That many people voting for this turd the first time can be construed as a mistake, or a con, or something forgivable. But whoever voted for this guy after his felony convictions, his sex-related convictions, lying 30,573 times to the American public during his first term, and after J6 is either certifiably insane or wanted this shit in the White House.
In other words, at least 22% of the total US population is either Nazi adjacent, completely unconcerned by morality and decency, or completely retarded. Probably all three.
Trump isn't a disease. He's a symptom. And the 22% will do it again - guaranteed.
It's happening all over the world. Russia hasn't had a fair election in eons. Orban being ousted was a breath of fresh air, but every single major world power has people almost winning or winning from the far right. *Japan has a far right PM.
I can well believe that the entire world is becoming dumb. But the US sure is leading the charge.
I would say that we're all equally dumb. If other countries don't see America as a warning sign and still vote far right, that's pretty fucking dumb. For example,
Bottom line, it's really hard to resist authoritarian regimes once they're in power. The propaganda alone is huge and the oligarch money is controlling everything.
And even she hates Trump.
I find it funny that the response to "the election machines were rigged" is "that shouldn't matter as long as more people vote against him".
Not only voted for him, but also repeat his lies, buy into his crypto and other fraudulent fundraising schemes, buy his merch (seriously, outside of an election period, who buys politician's merch?), and are somehow convinced that the damage he is doing to their country is justified.
Your language is ableist and anti-neurodivergent good sir/maam. Otherwise I agree
All they had to do was flip the top race in only seven swing states. That's how they ended up with millions of ballots with straight Democrat tickets, except Trump at the top. NOBODY votes that way.
They had two experienced, professional hacking teams on the case, of course it was rigged.
