Trump had total motive to cheat, and ZERO motive to not cheat. In fact, negative motive to not cheat. He was facing punishment for serious crimes and had absolutely nothing to lose. Already convicted of felony crimes, what possible reason would he have to not cheat? Given that hes a known cheater, a known fraudster, and a known felon, and that the only surefire way he was going to keep himself out of prison was to win the election by any means necessary, its actually gross ignorance to apply traditional norms and assume he didnt cheat to win. No other candidate in the history of the US had the same criminal baggage and motive to avoid dying in prison like Trump did. The truth is anyone in his position would have also done so. Its the only position that makes sense for someone in that situation. My frustration isnt so much that he pretty certainly cheated, but that Biden, democrats, and law enforcement werent able to identify and stop it. They knew just as plainly as Im spelling it out now that Trump would have tried anything to illegally tip the scales in his favor. I can only assume they were too afraid to be looked at as hypocrites for crying election fraud, proving that Trump successfully poisoned the well with his own nonsense and now here we are.
