Now that President Trump has been elected the next President of the United States, it's time to acknowledge the reality of the situation.
Trump should have been elected to a second term in 2020. That he was not is due solely and demonstrably to fraudulent manipulation of the results. We wrote about it at the time, exhaustively (see, for example, here, here and here), as did many other observers and commentators. The progressive left denied that for all it was worth, and the progressive news media played along. For the past four years, any mention of vote manipulation in any form has been preceded by the words "false" or "lies" or "unproven allegations". Well, this election has just showed us the reality, as these two graphics (widely circulated on the Internet and social media) demonstrate:
Would anyone care to explain where those massive increases in Democratic votes in 2020 came from? And where did they go to in 2024? They certainly weren't due to voters staying away from the polls, as can be determined by checking the figures for previous elections. They simply appeared on the scene, and then vanished as if they'd never existed - which, in reality, is probably true.
There is another possible explanation, of course:
Be that as it may, the figures above strongly imply that the entire Biden administration has been nothing more than a criminally imposed conspiracy against America, right from the start. To make matters worse, foreign nations who would have had - and demonstrated - rather more respect for President Trump took advantage of President Biden's fecklessness and embarked on adventures that have killed - literally killed - millions of people. The Ukraine invasion: the Iranian adventures in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, etc.: political and criminal upheavals in South America: the list is almost endless. Those people did those things because they were not afraid of US intervention, because Trump was not there to intervene. They didn't think Biden was worth worrying about - and they were proved correct.
How many millions died, or were injured, crippled, or maimed, as a result? I don't suppose we'll ever know, but I'll guaran-damn-tee that it was well into seven figures. Those who rigged the 2020 election bear at least some responsibility for that; possibly a lot more than they'll ever admit.
There's also the immense damage done to our nation by letting in millions of "migrants" and "refugees" who are nothing of the sort. They're nothing more or less than economic migrants, using any excuse to get to the "land of milk and honey" that they see us as being. It's damaged our economy, too, by diverting funds desperately needed elsewhere (such as disaster relief) to aiding migrants, and subsidizing them to the tune of thousands of dollars per month. That needs to stop right away, if not sooner, and will be a good way to begin the process of repatriating them to where they came from. If they can't survive without taxpayer subsidies, we don't need them and we don't want them. As for the vast increase in crimes committed by the "migrants" . . . we'll be dealing with that for years to come, and the costs of doing so are directly attributable to the policies of the Biden administration that let them across the border.
I don't expect President Trump to personally take charge of the investigation into who did what, with which, to whom, and how in 2020. He'll have more than enough on his plate fixing our almost terminally corrupt and inefficient national administration. However, I hope and trust that he'll appoint someone to head up a Commission of Inquiry, or some such body, to go into each and every situation uncovered in 2020 and since then, and prepare lists of the guilty parties and what charges might be brought against them. Thereafter, let's put them all on trial, and if found guilty, lock them up and throw away the key.
As for those who will plead the need for "national reconciliation" and urge that the past be forgotten in the interests of unity . . . to hell with them! The crime is too vast, its consequences too dire and tragic for so many, to be allowed to slide into the dustbin of history. If it takes a national equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials to resolve it, then let's get to work.
In fact, this might be one way to improve relations with Russia and President Putin. If we can nail down those responsible for instigating the war in Ukraine and similar actions in the region, perhaps we could ask Mr. Putin to renovate some of the long-disused Gulags in Siberia, and transfer those convicted to them. I can't think of a more appropriate way for neocon warmongers to spend the rest of their lives! We can even pay for their incarceration in hard currency, which will doubtless help Russia's sanctions-plagued economy. What's not to like?

EDITED TO ADD: Eugene Volokh suggests that there are several million votes still uncounted, which may change the total votes and margins of victory across the board. They won't change results already declared, but may affect the graphics shown above. I guess we'll wait and see what transpires. Nevertheless, I still want to see a full, in-depth inquiry into the 2020 election results and all the shenanigans that were highlighted at the time.
