Probably not. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m a conservative Christian. I voted for Trump last time and I\u2019ll vote for him this time. But I do not believe the election was stolen and my friend and I debate it all of the time.<\/p>\n
I feel like a lot of Trump voters have blinders on when it comes to this issue. It is almost as if they weren\u2019t there for the last 3 weeks before Election Day.<\/p>\n
First off, nobody talks about his absolutely atrocious first debate performance. It was cringe-worthy just how non-presidential and unprofessional and uncouth he was. That debate performance was 1\/3 the reason he lost.<\/p>\n
How do I know this?<\/p>\n
Because in the next debate, when he corrected for this error, the number one search phrase on google for the next 24 hours was: \u201ccan I change my vote back to trump?\u201d<\/p>\n
No. You cannot. They were already in the mail.<\/p>\n
Plus, people also forget that Covid wasn\u2019t over. Lots of people felt we weren\u2019t ready to reopen the economy and go back to normal yet. People were still scared. But Trump, for whatever reason I cannot imagine, when 2 out of 3 people I knew were on unemployment and happy as a pig with it, started talking about immediately opening back up upon winning.<\/p>\n
He was right. It was the right move.<\/p>\n
But he should have waited until after he won to push that idea. He lost a ton of women voters who were still masking up in their car on the way to the supermarket, and they voted en masse against him from the comfort of their panic rooms.<\/p>\n
I could also talk about the veterans memorial (\u201cthey are suckers\u201d) story as well, which I think hurt him badly with independents just weeks before the big day. I kept waiting for him to sue about that story, because it was just so damaging, and no lawsuit came, which made even me wonder if he actually farking said it.<\/p>\n
After that story broke, I kept waiting for him to make a vigorous defense of himself and it never came.<\/p>\n
So yeah.<\/p>\n
There ya go.<\/p>\n
As to the other question\u2014 no. I do not believe for a second that Trump is lying when he calls the election stolen. You can\u2019t call him a narcissist in one breath and imagine a world in which he really thinks he lost fairly.<\/p>\n
