Asking whether convicted felon Trump cheated in this election does NOT make you an "election denier"
Don't let GOPers and Never Trumpers silence you!

After Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he unleashed a non-stop barrage of fabricated BS to undermine the results. Trump’s lies of a “rigged election” ranged from claiming he had gathered “overwhelming evidence about a fake election” to “thousands of dead people” voted in key states to voting software had “switched thousands of votes” to Joe Biden and the list goes on and on.

That is what election denying looks like. It’s knowingly peddling lies to mislead people about an election that Trump’s own top officials, recounts and the courts had confirmed was accurate.

In contrast, asking questions in good faith in the days after the election is not election denying. It’s called critical thinking. It’s what intelligent, patriotic Americans do. Indeed, the facts surrounding the 2024 election and who Trump is himself demand questions be asked.

For starters, Trump cheated and attempted to cheat in both the 2016 and 2020 election. He was convicted by a jury of 34 felonies for cheating in the 2016 election. As Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg repeatedly made clear, Trump was not being prosecuted for paying “hush money” to cover up an affair. Rather, as Bragg stated before the trial, Trump was charged for “conspiring to corrupt a presidential election and then lying in New York business records to cover it up.”


I find it logical to wonder and to look for discrepancies in the election results. Trump is known to be a liar and a cheat.
