America’s presidential election is just days away. The race is historically tight, and the result is impossible to predict. Yet some far-right influencers appear convinced the so-called deep state will intervene to ensure Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins. The presidency, they claim, will be stolen from Trump, “again,” by an unholy axis of elites, technocrats, and progressives.
The notion that Trump triumphed in the 2020 polls is, of course, false. Exhaustive court challenges, media investigations, and expert data analyses have established this many times over. If Harris becomes the next US president, it will not be because shadowy establishment forces anointed her. It will be because the former president was a deeply flawed candidate whose erratic campaign and dark vision of America did not resonate with enough voters.
