The REAL Conspiracy of the 2020 Election

Apparently, in Oklahoma, some high schools are teaching their young students about how Donald Trump had the 2020 Presidential Election stolen from him. That is not entirely true, but we'll elaborate about the 2020 election in a minute.
Back in the year 2000, Ralph Nader ran for president and garnered over 2 million popular votes. Al Gore actually won the popular vote, but Bush won the electoral vote. The Left screamed that if Nader didn't run, Al Gore would have won the presidency easily.
From The Week: "The mere mention of Ralph Nader's 2000 campaign for president is enough to send most Democrats into a state of caterwauling rage. After all, Nader's presence on the ballot in Florida almost certainly narrowly cost Democratic nominee Al Gore the state and thus the election."
In the year 2016, Hillary Clinton took a page from the 2016 election.
From DeGruyter Brill: "Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote for president in 2016, but lost to Donald Trump in the Electoral College. Trump’s margin of victory in several decisive battleground states was smaller than the combined vote for the two leading minor party candidates: Gary Johnson, of the Libertarian Party, and Jill Stein, of the Green Party. The perception that Johnson and Stein “stole” the 2016 presidential election from Clinton is widespread."
Corporate liberals basically harassed both Nader and Johnson out of politics. Did you know Ralph Nader is still active today? He's a left-wing ideologue. Why is he invisible? No free plugs from the Left as a penalty for the year 2000. Democrats still decry what they call the Nader Effect.
As we return to the year 2020, we debate the word "stole."
On January 6th, 2021, we at Beacon of Speech wrote this: "Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Georgia lost 16,000 Trump votes. Guess what? Even if Georgia was to find the magical "missing" votes, TRUMP STILL LOSES. Trump is terrible at math. He lost by 7 million votes AND over 70 electoral votes. What did his supporters hope to accomplish today?"
I said it then, and I say it now, there weren't so many election irregularities that would have tipped the election to Donald Trump.
BUT....
If you go by Hillary Clinton's own definition of a stolen election, technically Jo Jorgensen stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump. How so? I'm glad you asked.
"In Pennsylvania (20 Electoral votes) Biden won by 40,000 votes, Jorgensen got 78,000.
In Georgia (16 Electoral votes) Biden won by 10,000 votes, Jorgensen got 62,000.
In Arizona (11 Electoral votes) Biden won by 20,000 votes, Jorgensen got 50,000
If Jorgensen isn't on the ballot, using CNN's own past political analysis, presto, 279-259 victory for Trump."
No one on the left is publicly vilifying Jo Jorgensen. The media called Biden's 2020 victory a mandate. Not one left-wing news outlet claimed that Biden stole the election.
It was only those "crazy" Trump supporters who thought that he won.
Just because Trump was ahead in some polls, and his internal numbers showed he was winning, doesn't mean he won.
But did you hear one peep from CNN, NBC, ABC, et al, about Jorgensen in 2020? No. Did any news outlet try to de-legitimize Biden's victory like they did to George W. Bush? If they did, I didn't see it. Now do I think Jorgensen escaped public scorn for those numbers? I do not.
If you return to the 2024 Libertarian Primaries, Donald Trump actually made the nightly news for showing up. Why? Because the press gleefully reported he was heckled and booed there. He should have been, Donald Trump was no libertarian. But the real story is that whoever talked Trump into showing up was a genius. The Libertarians went from 1.8 million votes in 2020 to 650,000 votes in 2024. That was a large part of Trump's 2 million vote margin of victory.
And where were Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen? Despite having the second best percentage-result in Presidential History for the Libertarians in 2020 (even better than folk-hero Rand Paul), neither ran for office in 2024. Suspicious? Absolutely.
I think that Trump Supporters, who were good at math, trolled both Jo Jorgensen and her vice-presidential candidate, Spike Cohen, into not running, and that's why you saw Trump show up at 2024's Libertarian Convention.
I follow Spike on Social Media and he gave vague platitudes about not running. He had a real reason for not running in 2024, but he wasn't sharing that with the public. A curious position for a guy who touts himself as a champion of the people.
Trump shows up at the Libertarian Convention and then the Libertarians ran out their most liberal candidate. That is not a coincidence. (Who then got cooked on election night and finished 5th.)
You think all of that is simply idle speculation?
Ralph Nader is, arguably, the most principled liberal of his generation, yet he is still vilified by Democrats a quarter of a century later. I may not agree with Nader, but I respect Nader. His own words from 2021, (he's still pissed by the way): "The Democrats needed an exogenous scapegoat (in 2000), because they bungled beyond belief.....This scapegoatism is in the DNA of the Democratic Party to this day. They're still looking to blame Jill Stein for 2016, not Hillary Clinton— not [Hillary’s] bungling, not her blowing hundreds of millions on stupid TV ads, not her failing to get out the vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. No, they wanted to blame Jill Stein."
By any rational metric of modern vote counting, Donald Trump did not have his 2020 election stolen by Biden
If you go by the Left's own definition of what a "stolen" election is though, then YES, Biden stole the election from Donald Trump in 2020. Why does all of this matter in 2025? Because Trump took names and is seeking retaliation.
By teaching the "Stolen Election Theory" in schools, Trump supporters are simply thumbing their noses at their rivals. The Left does not like the sour taste of their own medicine.
Apples and Oranges?
Ask any liberal professor at a State School what they think of Ralph Nader.
