Trying To Overturn The 2020 Election

Professor Jen Golbeck, who monitors the dark corners of the web where things like QAnon lurk, discusses what MAGA world is saying online about Trump’s continued efforts to try and overturn the 2020 election.

In what ways is Trump’s fixation with overturning the election damaging to his own standing in history?

The United States of America’s 2020 presidential election has come and gone, with Joe Biden winning by a substantial margin. However, former President Donald Trump has refused to concede and continues to baselessly claim that the election was rigged. He has attempted to overturn the results through numerous legal challenges, all of which have failed. Despite his electoral defeat, Trump’s fixation with overturning the election results still goes on.

For the past year, Trump has been spreading misinformation and conspiracies about the election, claiming the election was “stolen” from him despite no evidence to support his claim. The former president’s followers have even gone so far as to launch riotous and deadly attacks on the U.S Capitol on January 6, 2021, inspired by Trump’s rhetoric.

Trump has spent millions of dollars on legal fees to challenge the election results in states such as Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. However, every legal challenge Trump’s lawyers have brought before the courts has been swiftly dismissed due to a lack of evidence.

Furthermore, Trump has also been attempting to pressure state officials to overturn the results, particularly in Georgia. In a now-infamous phone call with Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in early January, he urged him to “find” enough votes to overturn the results in his favor. Despite Trump’s claims, Georgia’s results have been double-checked and verified numerous times by both Democrats and Republicans, with no evidence of voter fraud.

What is perhaps even more concerning is that Trump’s insistence that the election was rigged is negatively affecting America’s democracy. The false claims fuel suspicion and distrust in the country’s electoral process, making it difficult for people to have faith in the democratic system that is the backbone of the country.

The former President’s fixation with overturning the election is not just damaging to democracy; it is also damaging to America’s reputation. The United States has long been considered the bastion of democracy, and many other countries look up to it as a model of free and fair elections. By continuing to challenge the election results and propagating conspiracies, Trump is harming America’s standing in the world.

In conclusion, it is clear that Trump’s fixation with overturning the 2020 presidential election is damaging to America’s democracy, reputation, and even his own standing in history. The election results have been verified and confirmed through multiple recounts and verifications, with no evidence of voter fraud. It is time for Trump to accept the results of the election and respect the democratic process that is the cornerstone of America’s values.
