Why Didn’t the Democrats Steal It This Time?

By Mark Antonio Wright

Let me get this straight: In 2020, when Donald Trump was the sitting president of the United States and controlled all the powers of the executive branch, including the Department of Justice, federal law-enforcement agencies, and our foreign and domestic intelligence services, the Democrats — conspiring from Joe Biden’s Delaware basement — managed to steal the election out from under him.

 

But, in 2024, after the events of January 6, 2021, and after four years of Democratic lawfare, at a time when the Democratic Party is desperate to keep Trump from power, a Democratic president sits in the White House, Democratic governors hold office in the critical swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and the unified voice of the mainstream press and its allies in government busy themselves with explicitly calling Trump a fascist and an existential threat to American democracy, the Democrats decided to not steal the election from Trump?

 

How can that be? Why not? It simply doesn’t make any sense. Is there a logical explanation for why the evil and nefarious Democrats and the all-powerful Deep State would decide to let Trump walk back into the White House this time around? Why would they allow him to potentially sweep the crucial swing states and challenge their candidate for the national popular vote?

 

There’s no way that, in ’20, a critical mass of the American people decided to fire Trump for his antics, his erratic behavior, and his association with the anomie and exhaustion of the pandemic era, while, in ’24, they decided to fire Biden and Harris over inflation, woke extremism, and chaos at the border and give Trump another chance, is there? I’m just not sure that I can believe that Americans in the last two elections would vote, as they usually do, to punish the incumbent party for its lackluster economic stewardship and give the out-party a chance at fixing things.

 

That couldn’t possibly be the case, because — c’mon — there’s just no way that Donald Trump and his minions in 2020 would have stooped to lying to the American people in order to assuage the bruised ego of a single man. There’s no way that grifters in right-wing media would have amplified that message in an effort to deliver fan service to their audiences. And there’s just no way that so many election truthers on the right would have bought Trump’s 2020 lies hook, line, and sinker.

 

So, can someone please explain to me why the Democrats and their goons didn’t steal this election? Were they just feeling generous? What gives?
