The fact that Trump lost the 2020 Election and then tried to steal it, DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE OR APPROVE OF JOE BIDEN.
Trump lost the election. It doesn’t matter whether anyone was happy or unhappy with that result. That was the result.
And then Trump used the remainder of his time in office and the power of the Office of the President of the United States to try to steal the election anyway.
He lied. To the faces of millions of Americans and to the whole world.
He tried to steal the votes of 81 million Americans who voted for his competitor.
He endangered the lives of many people with his lies.
And failed to defend the U.S. Capitol, federal legislators and the VP.

GOP Senators up for re-election in 2022 who DIDN’T vote to advance debate over the bipartisan gun legislation (continued):
Paul (KY)
Rubio (FL)
Scott (SC)
Thune (SD)
All 50 Democratic Senators supported the legislation. Including Joe Manchin.
The legislation includes support for the following:
- Funding for states to implement Red Flag laws, which may have prevented a number of gun crimes had they been in place (and which are already in place in Florida, despite both its Senators voting against it).
One of the many victims of Trump’s election lie and the repeating of his lie by propagandists and media outlets loyal to Trump is Dominion Voting Systems. They were falsely maligned by the likes of Rudy Giuliani, FNC, Newsmax and the other Carnival Barkers in Trump’s orbit.
But just to illustrate a point, here is a partial list of some large counties in key states that flipped from red to blue in 2020 and that DIDN’T use Dominion Voting Systems:
Tarrant County, TX
Pinellas County, FL
Duval County, FL
Johnson County, KS
Williamson County, TX
Large Counties flipped from red to blue in 2020 (Trump lost in 2020 but had won in 2016) which also did not use Dominion Voting Systems software:
Montgomery County, OH
Seminole County, FL
Virginia Beach City, VA
Hillsborough County, FL
Chesterfield County, VA
Marion County, OR
Trump lost Pennsylvania because he lost the state's largest metro area, the Philadelphia area, where a third of the people old enough to vote live, by a lot (33 points). And he won the state's second largest metro area, Pittsburgh, only by a little bit (2 points).
Trump did well in the smaller metropolitan areas in Pennsylvania as well as in the counties which are not in metropolitan areas. But there are fewer people living there.
Bear in mind that Trump only barely won Pennsylvania in 2016.
People who voted in Philadelphia told exit pollsters after they voted that they voted for Biden. By nearly the same margin as the official results.
The exit polls, which ask people who they voted for after they voted, don't even go through voting machines and are processed by an entirely different set of people and organizations. But they showed the same thing the official results said. Biden won Arizona.
People who voted in Pima County, Arizona (Tucson area), just like people in Maricopa County, Arizona (Phoenix area) told pollsters, after they voted, that they voted for Biden. By nearly the same margins as the official vote tally showed.
