Re: 2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'
But is it not the case, that the key point that has led to the indictments in Georgia, is that Trump had no legal argument to justify a Continent Election -there was no proof of election rigging, that votes for Trump were swapped for Biden. There were two recounts in the State and recounts in other States, and all failed to prove Trump's case, and so on. It was fantasy politics, driven by Trump's infantile resentment that he lost and could not then, and does not now accept it. That the US should have been brought so low by a selfish moron tells us more about the Republican Party and its distance from reality and the Constitution than it does about Trump, because he was a known liar and crook long before he descended the escalator in New York.

And also the claim that Trump wanted to halt the counting of mail-in ballots on the night of the election. We know that Roger Stone had laid out plans to reverse the result before election night, and it may be a key component of the case in Georgia and the Jan 6th trial that Trump never intended to honour the result of the election, having decided at 10 pm on the night that he had won it and anything that happened after was 'illegitimate'. From start to finish, the man was eyeball deep in bullshit, but in touch with people like Stone, Bannon and anyone who would encourage him to lead the attack on the US.

Whether he unwittingly or wittingly admits to charges makes no difference for his supporters. He has no worries about incriminating himself, because he has yet to be held accountable for the vast majority of his crimes. (He's only lost the one civil suit so far.) He will continue to stall all prosecution, and if enough idiots vote enough Republicans into office he will escape accountability.

Re: 2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'
They don't care. The point of the election-rigging claims was to create a figleaf to justify a legal coup, in the hope that disrupting the certification process would see the election decided by a state-based vote in the HoR or the Supreme Court.
The other objective was to convince Republican voters that the election was rigged so that Trump could retain control of the Party. In that he has obviously succeeded. If Republicans are able to block any accountability then trying to overturn election results has only upside, so why not just keep trying until you succeed?
The other thing is that they haven't paid a big electoral price for any of this. The polls are pointing to another close race. Swinging voters don't seem to be sure whether the future of democracy is a bigger concern that a temporary surge in inflation.
