Almost a week after Democrats swept the midterms with historic gains in Congress and downballot races, Donald Trump denied the legitimacy of election results across the country and resurrected old conspiracy theories about voting machines.

“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump posted on social media Monday morning. “How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”

Democrats saw historic, sweeping gains across the country last week. They won the largest majority in decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, flipped party control of the U.S. Senate and clinched control of local governments in numerous states.

    I got a piece of paper and a marker and filled in the boxes on the paper with the marker. It was a little embarrassing to be honest. Are the Sharpies rigged? I used my own Sharpie if that makes a difference.

    He is impervious to doing good things. That early “concession” just couldn’t last.

    After the election was over I personally saw some voting machines removed from my local rec center and placed in a truck for removal and storage of the unit. Make of that what you will. /s

    This shit is old and stale, and nobody buys it anymore. Nobody cheated, because they didn’t have to cheat, everybody just hates Trump and MAGA that much.

    His problem wasn’t even the Democrats, he should expect them to vote against him. His problem is the Independents, who went against him nearly 100%. EVERY election in America is decided by the Independents, and they broke AGAINST Trump in a major way.

    Fuck him and his “minor update” in the swing states. Let’s not forget the fucking Russians and their banks of mobile phones that every single MAGA turd fell for. Let’s return to the Epstein Files.

    I think his base is a lot less likely to swallow this shit when they know how dissatisfied they themselves feel.

    He was chill after the election because the centrist Democrats promised they weren’t going to go at him too hard and tried to push that message. Once he saw that they didn’t have the power and are looking to get replaced as leadership, Trump changed his tune. Now it’s “stolen.” This fucker’s a narcissist. Never take his actions from any other perspective.

    No what happened is in spite of your blatant voter suppression efforts voters overwhelmingly rejected MAGA.

      Remember, every accusation is a confession. Every accusation is a confession. “…the results must have been manipulated!” So, this blue wave happened despite efforts by Trump’s toadies to do the manipulation. They done royally fucked up.

          I still have zero doubts the places reds still won were the result of manipulation and them not shooting themselves in the foot hard enough. Just look at Mississippi for suppression which still barely wasn’t enough and when they try to unsuppress it only works against them
