Thank you for sharing. I agree with everything you wrote in your first paragraph, as well as the last crypto paragraph. I don't find the rest particularly compelling, and I feel it has big JAQ energy.

why doesn't trump want an investigation?

Because he won? There would literally be no point. He isn't railing against elections in general, he's railing against any election he loses. In his own words, an election he wins is the only fair election.

The bottom line is that about the same number of people voted for Donnie the Turd, but 10 million fewer democrats turned out to vote. There's no way that kind of conspiracy would go unnoticed; most of the people working the polls are big believers in the system, they would have said something if there was tampering across 10 million votes.

I think the truth about this election will only be clear with the lenses of history. What really happened? Why did the dems lose so badly? These are questions only time can answer.

Now with that said, Russia 110% ran a disinfo campaign against Harris, but it was only able to be so effective because the platform was weak. Dems need to make a hard left turn into progressivism if they ever hope to dream of power again someday.

Germany

I am in Germany and AfD scares me. I'm not so arrogant to say that it can't happen here since it already happened... twice. But that is to say, I think not it can happen again here, as we have specifically constructed our government to keep fascists out from power. Americas fathers could only dream of a supposed tyrant someday in the future, maybe, but we have lessons to learn from our past on. Time will tell.

Taking over Twitter at this specific time in the global geopolitical climate would potentially subvert the fight against Eurasia, putting the West and global democracy at risk, or is that exactly what he wants to do?

It will happen everywhere.

Elon Musk: "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it."

You are not scared enough.

That's why we need a hand recount, to verify the tabulation. And why we need ballot signature rejection rates, to compare to previous years.

Nothing the Trump admin wants to do makes sense in the context of someone genuinely helping a nation. RFK Jr who got brainworms from not eating meat properly being in charge of the health department. Removing 13th amendment. Elon being the head of the DOGE department and defunding governments agencies while funding himself. All of it. It's hostile actions that if you were a hostile nation fighting a war, you'd do to your enemy. Poison their food. Ruin their supply chain. Ruin their ability to make technology. Ruin communications. Etc.
