Trump Stole the 2024 Election

One suggestion, not often pursued, and ignored by the “mainstream media,” is that Trump, Republican state officials, or the Russians, or the Iranians, or Elon Musk stole the 2024 election.

The mechanism involves some shady practices:

  1. Russian misinformation on social media (again)
  2. Russian bomb threats to polling places
  3. State election officials purging eligible voters, falsely claiming they were non-citizens
  4. Elon Musk voter registration lottery (a federal crime)
  5. Elon Musk using big data to target individuals with targeted messaging designed to play on their individual personality.

But none of those compare to the elephant in the room, the insight from James Carville:

It’s the economy, stupid.

And sometimes phrased:

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

While the economy seems to be trending in the positive direction and people are far better off than they were in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the housing shortage is severe with outrageous prices, some consumer goods are way too expensive and childcare costs are out of sight.

Pew Research conducted an international poll in the Spring of 2023 that found people, not just in the United States but worldwide, think government is out of touch.1 The US satisfaction lagged only behind Spain and Argentina.

Perhaps this is why Donald Trump’s “I am your retribution” and overall populist approach, was so effective.
