Most US Conservatives think that the 2020 election was rigged.

So why bother standing in the next one? It doesn't make any sense, if you genuinely think that the system will be set against you.

Also, the Democrats rigged it extremely badly because they didn't give themselves a super-majority.

It's a case of people choosing to believe what they want. If all politicians are liars, then pick the lie you like the best. suspend disbelief, like you would watching a movie.

Fraud occurs in every election. The issue is the scale of fraud. The Covid emergency provided a convenient new opportunity for fraud. The same fraud used during Covid probably will not be repeated.

The idea is not to simply give up, as you suggest, but rather to reduce the amount of fraud in an election so it doesn't determine the outcome.

There are some simple ways to do this.

@HoraceGreenley Like Trump telling a state official to "Find me more votes."

@Burnley123
It's only fraud if votes were fraudulently obtained in that case.

Like the ballots that were scanned multiple times in Detroit.

@HoraceGreenley Trump was recorded pressurising an official to "find" him votes. People can read into that what they will.

@Burnley123 There are videos of "campaign workers" running ballots through the reader multiple times. Most of the ballots only had the presidential race indicated and no down ballot voting. That is not typical.
