I do wonder how that investigation would work. Would Trump allow it to happen? How would that information come about? If true how would the Democrats and Republicans act? So much for a peaceful transfer.
Would be even worse than 2020. Now you got both sides up in arms literally.
I mean, the guy tried an insurrection, absolutely he'd be willing to cheat via hacked voting machines.
But you'd need to find one of those things and crack them open before Elon erased the evidence.
Any of those districts where state officials refused to allow federal observers seems like an obvious answer.
I haven't seen any actual evidence for this but "accusing other people of the exact thing you're preparing to do yourself" is definitely MAGA's MO.
...for space is wide, and good friends are too few.

So a lot of people are arguing that Elon may have rigged the election cause the swing vote machines were his
Look... on the one hand, I don't want to go into what MAGA did. I LIVE in MAGA territory, and OVER 60 MILLION people voted for him. A lot of people gave up on Kamala, some for reasons I can understand and many for fuck off... so I refuse to believe in this until I have proof.
On the other hand... god it'd be nice to know Trump didn't win.

Not at all surprised, I just had too much faith in America. Well, glad to know we died because people are too stupid to read anything beyond 'THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS!'
Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.
But I would advise against repeating all of his talking points from the last election. It is not a good look. Questioning democracy is a dangerous road as we have seen.

And Biden is doing everything he can to legitimize Trump with photo ops. I wish prostate cancer on both of them.
Well they say either you die from prostate cancer or you die with it.
Talking about removing the Department of Education and put it pack to the states. But the problem with that is its already 90% the states, only 10% of public school funding is through the Feds, the rest is the state.
Not like these schools are flush with funds to begin with. Now you take 10% off of the top and now you will create issues.
I mean there are other issues with cutting the Department of Education too that will be far reaching. But I guess making the Red states even dumber would work for the Republicans.
Probably will allow Creationism and Bible Study to replace Science classes. Sex education will probably be taught through porn at home and lessons learned from getting pregnant at age 14.

Biden isn't legitimizing him because the voters already did that. Mind you, in Biden's case, I imagine he can't help but think about the backstabbing he got and wonder if any of them will accept that their actions contributed to this or if they'll show themselves to be spineless weasals by somehow blaming him for not dropping out sooner.
