The thing that cracks me up the most about this entire election shitshow is the sole fact that if Trump had told his voter base to vote by mail...
he absolutely would have won this election, and that is fucking hysterical.
The reason Trumpy was so against mail-in ballots wasn't because of a security risk or potential fraud (For fuck's sake we are ~60 goddamn lawsuits deep and they have NOT ONCE showed any actual proof of vote tampering in a court of law) it's because of two things:
1.) You can't suppress mail-in ballots the same way you suppress normal ballots and
2.) If you can't properly suppress all those ballots from pissed off Dems you are absolutely going to lose.
He spent the 1st half of the year telling all of his voters that voting by mail is illegal and fake news
despite the fact he was more than happy to vote by mail himself and then spent the 2nd half of the year trying to throttle the USPS with his post-master, mainly in an attempt to cause enough issues where mail-in ballots wouldn't be sent in time. Unfortunately for him his Post-Master was an ass clown and got fucking caught in the act, meaning the USPS could fully crack down on it and halt any further attempts.
If you look at the details of Trump's legal challenges very, very,
VERY few of them even
mention fraud... despite the fact that it was the thing he shrieked about the most. That's certainly odd, what was the common thread that almost all of Trump's legal challenges had? A vast majority of them had the sole goal of disqualifying as many votes as possible for reasons varying from "it was a few minutes late one night" and even "this one is smudged so it needs to be thrown out"- the latter literally becoming it's own shitshow dubbed "
SharpieGate".
There is not a doubt in my mind that Trump would have won this election if he had taken advantage of mail-in votes like Biden did, he even could have spun it all as "Vote by mail because the Dems will SHRED your in person ballot!" but... he didn't do that, because he's just not that bright. Instead he chose to try and throttle the USPS with literally the most incompetent post master in history, completely fail at it, and then spam the courts with ~60 lawsuits desperately trying to shrink Biden's lead as much as possible... There was no "nationwide voter fraud" in this situation, Trump just flat out shot himself in the foot REPEATEDLY because he honestly thought he could get away with goddamn anything after 4 years of people covering for him.
