Almost a week after Democrats swept the midterms with historic gains in Congress and downballot races, Donald Trump denied the legitimacy of election results across the country and resurrected old conspiracy theories about voting machines.

“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump posted on social media Monday morning. “How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”

Democrats saw historic, sweeping gains across the country last week. They won the largest majority in decades in the U.S. House of Representatives, flipped party control of the U.S. Senate and clinched control of local governments in numerous states.

    Yes the party that has no power or ownership over the machines hacked them and cheated, meanwhile the party who has power and direct ownership of the machines were helpless to stop them, if anything that just tells us how incompetent they are, while also completely doubtful.

      2016 when the Dems were in power, it was a super duper fair election

      2020 when the repugnants were in power, that was the worst most corrupt election in US history.

      2024 when the Dems were back in power and the reds won in questionably sweeping fashion, it was the bigliest securiest election is US history.

      2026 when literal Nazis controlled all 3 branches, the election was, yet again, corrupt AF
