The "2024 election was stolen" conspiracy theories are just a rehash of the "2020 election was stolen" conspiracy theories and this is both sad and frustrating.

People choose to believe these narratives because they validate feelings and beliefs about how unfair the outcome of the election is; because they are profoundly ignorant of how the elections are conducted, secured, and validated; because it's easier than looking at America for what it really is.

If you see these kind of posts and can't help but notice the presentation style has a certain "FOX News" aesthetic, yeah, that's kind of deliberate.

@soatok I actually don't know if the 2024 election being stolen is so far-fetched. we already know that trying to rig elections is a longstanding practice in america, from the successful ones like gerrymandering to the unsuccessful january 8th insurrection. we also know that trump and his team have actively tried to rig elections. I find it entirely plausible they managed to cheat some votes somewhere without it being found out
