Why don't the democratic voters actually riot over Trump and Musk instead of writing nice words on a Musk-owned social media? (sh.itjust.works)

The rigging wasn't done at the polls. (The Democratic and Independent poll watchers would've reported that, and I'm not seeing any of such reports)

The actual manipulation was the constant far-right propaganda made possible by the Citizens United ruling, which allows the rich to spend unlimited amount of money to spend on propaganda. That and voter rolls purges. These things have always happened to some degree throught the history of the US.
