The more votes they manufacture, the more people they lose. These states suddenly flipping to Biden make no sense, especially Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. All states Trump needs to win.
2020 U.S. Presidential Election - Took place November 3, 2020. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden assumed office January 20, 2021.

Plenty of footbridges over dry creeks, fyi. Could easily pay a town of 10 people to rename to lexington or concord though.

How ironic that "social distancing" isn't pursued while committing voter fraud. Goddamn 2020.

Naah, you'll be able to choose between news and truth, just like Soviet Russia.
I'm gonna be real here, my reaction right now is pretty much TDS to the letter, and after seeing how miserable that made so many people I know, I should really know better.
On some level, likely subconscious, people are afraid that this will end up a big nothingburger, which given it likely will is understandable. They hope that by staying furious, afraid, etc they can keep the momentum going long enough for something to actually happen. This isn't completely wrong in that it's easier to get away with bullshit when no one's paying attention, but after a point it's just "raising awareness".
Not like it really matters, but doomsperging is just feeding into their demoralization/media coronation strategy.
I've lost a number of friends to TDS not in the sense that they hate me for disagreeing (they don't know) but they became so angry, anxious, and withdrawn from the constant anger and hate. One I even talked to about it justified it as saying it was important to stay angry, even as her hobbies died, her career suffered, and her BF of several years finally got fed up with the constant freakouts. I don't think she actually did anything constructive except maybe attend a protest or two (lol). I don't talk to her anymore, less hiding power level (though that too) than that it's fucking depressing.
Pretty much all institutional power in the US has jerked to the far left in the last ten years, and it's jarring. Trump in the White House, for his myriad personal and policy flaws, was a weighted blanket for those of us who never got on board the SJW bullshit, especially those of us trapped in left wing bubbles at school, work, social circles, whatever. The Emperor Protects, after all. Well, maybe we were the ones in a bubble.
A lot of us had hope that if we could just weather the storm, reality would start to reassert itself, and the pendulum would swing back, like Syaoran Li et al always say. The fact that this election was even close enough to steal given what a terrible candidate Biden was, and the lack of actual campaigning, has forced many of us to finally accept that the culture has ratcheted permanently left yet again, and realize too late, just like every generation, that this has been going on for a long, long time. Call it a descent into communism, call it the elites have always run the show and it's just time for a new Janissary demographic, it looks the same from here.
And if you previously believed that you lived in a democracy and now realize you soon won't, whether you are losing your freedom or never had any, it hurts. Modern life is so good compared to most of human history that we would even care about the common man having any say in government. Even entertaining that the meaning of life is about truth, or justice, or even consoomerism, rather than a grim fight for survival.
Yes, you're losing something important to you, and being forced to confront your lack of control in the world sucks if you've gone through life believing in it. I think anxiety over control has become a bigger problem as religion has faded. That anxiety of control, more than anything else IMO, is what drives the engines of SJWism, white guilt, etc. God is dead, so if you're too ignorant of history to know about Marcus Aurelius, so all that's left is the system's greatest trick or the black pill, take your pick.
TL;DR it's basically just TDS, except given how spun up the left got under Trump, vae victis is gonna suck. Let off some steam if you have to, but try to face whatever the future holds with a bit more grace than that NOOOOOOOO genderblob. There will always be wars and rumors of wars.

COVID was a kingmaker for the Dems. They don't really care about you, life, or the country. Never waste a crisis. YOU FAILED, EVEN THOUGH WE WOULD HAVE DONE THE EXACT SAME THING YOU ARE DOING!!! RACIST!!!

Here's a question, which I imagine may be too difficult to answer. Has any of these new "ballots" suddenly made certain local, state, or federal candidates win all the sudden? Because this can't just be benefitting Biden.

If this election were actually honest, it would be a blue Dixie cup. I refuse to believe that Biden is somehow “winning” the presidency while getting a Republican Senate and a nearly Republican House.

Biden's overnight 150k in Wisconsin didn't come with any senator votes.

So no poll watchers or is that what the camera is there for?
Seriously...? There was no other person chosen? Just Biden?

Well, seeing the most recent developments, I'm going to give out my analysis.
The blackpill: Trump lost. He may not have lost fairly, he may have been cheated out of the election, but he still lost. The GOP should have taken the bullshit the Dems pulled in 2018 to get Synema elected seriously, but at this point I'm not convinced the Republicans didn't know and chose to ignore it or be complicit in it. Republicans are cucked, and the fact that they're now going silent is evidence that they're going to abandon Trump and return to business as usual of selling out to China while being the losing with dignity party in return for a few meaningless concessions from the Democrats.
The whitepill: We're not happy about this election, but neither are the Democrats. It's going to be an interesting four years to watch the Democrats in power. Usually, when an opposing party gets elected, they do so riding a wave that gets them all branches of government. Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump either won Congress or the party already had a substantial lead that was good enough for them to pass legislation at least through the first two years before midterms. The first election is usually where a president need to capitalize on enthusiasm to get as much political capital as they can. What does Biden have as he goes in to his first term? A Republican Senate and a weakened Democratic Congress. A Congress that is already deeply divided among themselves between moderates and the marxists. Expect shit flinging to not only resume between Democrats and Republicans, but even more vicious shit flinging between the Democrats and the Justice Democrats.
That is the second problem the Democrats had to deal with. To defeat Donald Trump, Democrats had to essentially make deals with a dozen different devils. The most prominent of them being with the progressive members of Congress like AOC, Omar, and Tlaib but more importantly, their supporters: Antifa, BLM, the many marxists groups in our midsts, and the people that finance them. Let's be clear, there's little way that with such a weakend Congress that a Biden presidency will have the ability to give these people what they want. All this time, it was about Trump, and how Trump is the only thing standing between them and a great progressive future. Now, there's no more Trump to blame, only them and their incoming failures. Antifa is not going away. BLM is not going away. The Biden promise of returning to the simpler times of the early Obama years is laughable to anyone that has seen modern societal trends. People said that the party would rip itself apart if Trump won, yet it appears they're going to rip themselves apart anyway. As we speak, AOC is already attempting a small coup against Pelosi in the wake of losing seats in Congress. You can expect things like this to go forward. In 2016 Cenk Uygur said that he was at war with the Democratic Party, even if they won against Trump. Dumb as Cenk may be, he was completely sincere about that.
You played with fire, assholes. Don't come crying when you get burned. Or in this case, struggle-sessioned by your own golem.
Finally, there's the media. They fucked us over. Big time. Even Fox fucked us over. But it's their death knell. The legacy media and even the online media was on life support, but they found a temporary lease on life with Donald Trump. Well, he's gone, and he's taking your viewership with him. Let's see how your increasingly dwindling audience fares after you can't have your 24/7 monopoly on fear porn anymore.
In many ways, this was a defeat in victory's clothing for the Democrats. They won the presidency, but it's in ashes. For the next four years, after the nation manages to get rid of their Trump mania, they will have to contend with the fact that they elected a barely coherent charisma void of a grandpa that is just a front for a VP that was so despised by her own party that even with the DNC machine behind her, she didn't even manage to go as far as the primaries. And this man and his Jamaican puppetmaster is not going to bring you to the promised utopia, you're going to be as fucked as you once were, if not more. Hope you manage to do enough pacifying before the 2022 midterms.
Worst of all, they have lost their greatest weapon, Trump himself. Try coming to terms between your progressive coalition on any given matter without resorting to a circular firing squad now that the boogeyman is gone. Biden has no clear policies, no vision, and barely has any political power to bring about change.
The path forward: Trump was not Hitler. He was not Mussolini or Napoleon or Caesar or whatever lazy allegory the media and Twitter have used to describe him. Trump was a less intelligent, more self-centered Tiberius Gracchus. Tiberius may have been murdered by the Senate, the same as his brother ten years later, but you cannot kill the movement. It may have been pure luck, yet Trump managed to do something that the neo-cons at the GOP didn't manage to do, he found a way to connect to the working class. Arizona and Texas look grim for the future, no doubt about it. Arizona was once a deep red state that has now fallen as another California colony, and Texas is slowly turning blue. However, Florida has likely turned from a swing state, to a leans red state, and Ohio has flat out become red.
Michigan, Wisonsin, and Pennsylvania have let us down this time, regardless of the fraud, yet that should not mean that the Right should stop trying to make headways into these places. As mentioned above, the Dems are going to be overseeing the disaster that the pandemic has left, and with such a weak government, they won't be able to do shit. The conflict within the Democratic Party will constantly threaten the jobs of the workers in these states. It's where the future of the Right is. Tiberius found the way and may have failed to deliver, but his successors have to come and take advantage of it.

Nobody, not even the most diehard Democrats, are 70+ million votes excited for Biden. That is more than Obama got in 2008.
