No, the 'red flag' was Trump,
LIF. Grow up.
declaring at numerous rallies, LONG BEFORE THE FIRST BALLOT WAS EVER CAST, that 'the only way Democrats can win is if they rig the election', thereby priming the conspiracy theory pump he would later invoke when he lost.
The Democrat party is a conspiracy. It is no theory. Trump has never lost an election.
The gatewaypundit has achieved something no other website has achieved, virtually ALL of it's articles fail factchecks.
'Fact checking' is not a proof. False authority fallacy.
It is the worst website on the internet, for information.
Bulverism fallacy.
But, I'm not quick to use the 'kill-the-messenger' counter argument,
Yes you are. Blatant lie.
and I will actually debunk your claim rather than rely totally on a KTM, though that website deserves it:
Attempted proof by void.
Oh, the audacity of trying to warp basic arithmetic to sow doubt about the 2020 election!
There was no 2020 election. No one is using arithmetic here. Strawman fallacy.
It's as if some folks are stuck in a perpetual state of denial, clutching at straws to spin a tale of fraud where none exists.
DON'T TRY TO DENY DEMOCRAT ELECTION FRAUD!
Let's tear this nonsense apart, shall we?
First, let's talk about those voter numbers—213.8 million registered voters.
In many States, more than of legal voting age. Fortunately, voter roles are being purge now, so it's not as easy for Democrats to vote for the dead or by using stolen identities.
Sure, that’s within the ballpark.
Cliche fallacy. Random phrase. No apparent coherency.
But then you throw out this figure, 66.2% voter turnout,
Argument from randU fallacy. Making up numbers and using them as 'data' is a fallacy.
as if it’s the holy grail of election data.
There was no election in 2020.
And you try to magically transform this into exactly 141.5 million votes. Here’s the problem: you’re playing fast and loose with numbers.
Which is what you are doing. Argument from randU fallacies.
Voter turnout percentage is based on eligible voters, not just registered voters. The 66.2% turnout rate you're quoting comes from an estimated eligible voter population of around 239 million people, not the 213.8 million registered voters. When you account for this, the number of actual voters in 2020 makes perfect sense—over 158 million ballots were cast, matching up with the highest voter turnout in over a century.
You cannot justify an argument from randU fallacy, especially by using additional argument from randU fallacies.
But instead of acknowledging this, you conjure up this bogus comparison with a turnout number divorced from reality.
Buzzword fallacy. You don't know what 'reality' even means or how it's defined. Base rate fallacy.
If you’re going to doubt the election, at least get your facts straight.
Learn what "fact" means. It does NOT mean "Universal Truth" or "proof".
Ah, yes, the old song and dance of disbelief, wrapped in a cloak of selective outrage and arithmetic acrobatics.
You are describing yourself. DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEM ON ANYBODY ELSE!
It’s almost as if some people believe that by repeating their disbelief enough times, they can conjure up a different reality.
DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEM ON ANYBODY ELSE!
So let’s dissect this mountain of doubt, piece by piece, and expose it for what it truly is—pure, unadulterated fiction.
DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEMS ON ANYBODY ELSE!
First, the incredulity over Biden’s 81 million votes.
There are not 81 million people on the electoral college.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: voter turnout was at a historic high in 2020.
Argument from randU fallacy. Making up numbers means nothing.
The Election Virus. The Covid Hoax perpetuated by Democrats, which also started the current economic depression. Go fuck yourself.

contributed to a turnout that blew past previous records.
Argument from randU fallacy.
This isn’t some conspiracy—
The Democrat party is a conspiracy.
this is the result of democracy in action.
There is no democracy currently anywhere in the world. The United States was never a democracy.
Comparing Biden’s numbers to Obama’s in 2008 is like comparing apples to oranges. Different elections, different circumstances, and—guess what—different candidates.
Not really.
Obama took a downturn and converted it into an economic depression that lasted nine years. Obama called it the "new normal". Obama tried to nationalize various industries (communism) and dictate others (facism).
Biden was never elected. He was installed as Chief Puppet so Obama could effectively run a 3rd term.
Again, Obama attempted to nationalize various industries (communism) and dictate others (fascism).
Now, on to Trump’s numbers. Yes, Trump did receive over 74 million votes, which is a significant increase from 2016.
The President is not elected by popular vote.
But guess what? The electorate didn’t shrink in the last four years—more people registered, more people voted, and more people decided that they’d had enough of Trump’s antics. Enthusiastic crowds at rallies don’t translate to votes
They do. Paradox. Irrational. You cannot argue both sides of a paradox.
—those are optics, not ballots. The idea that rally size should correlate directly to electoral victory is as absurd as thinking that likes on a tweet determine the next president.
Rally size is not a tweet. Redefinition fallacy. False equivalence fallacy.
Let’s not forget the claim about Obama’s turnout in 2008. Sure, Obama’s election had a 57.1% turnout, but comparing that to 2020 is disingenuous at best. The nation was gripped by the most divisive election in modern history, with a sitting president whose behavior was a constant source of controversy, and a pandemic that made voting by mail more accessible than ever. This wasn't just about Biden—it was about a referendum on Trump. Biden won because many voted, not for Biden, but against Trump. I know I did.
There was no election in 2020. Argument from randU fallacy. Biden didn't win. You cannot win what never took place.
Finally, the insinuation that turnout increased in every state and nearly every county as if that’s somehow suspicious.
Argument from randU fallacy.
No, that’s called democracy.
There is no democracy. The United States was never a democracy.
When people are motivated, whether by passion or outrage, they turn out to vote. That’s how elections work, not by some bizarre calculus where only the candidate you support is allowed to win.
DON'T TRY TO BLAME DEMOCRAT PROBLEMS ON TRUMP!
So yes, Biden won with 81 million votes. Trump lost despite his 74 million.
There are not 81 million voters in the electoral college.
There was no election in 2020. Biden didn't win. Trump has never lost an election.
And the sooner we accept the facts,
Learn what "fact" means. It does NOT mean "Universal Truth".
the sooner we can move forward as a country,
You don't want to. You want to destroy it.
instead of indulging in these fact-free fantasies that only serve to undermine the very democracy we claim to cherish.
There is no democracy. Learn what "fact" means.
