Trump repeats lie that Joe Biden lost presidential election.
Trump will never stop lying about the 2020 election. His CPAC speech proved it.
Trump falsely claims in CPAC speech that he could beat Democrats 'for a third time' in 2024.
This is a Pandora's Box you can't close again. No presidential candidate in American history has directly disputed election results, let alone to this extent. Trump litigated at every possible angle, and accused the Supreme Court he partially installed of being "too scared" to overturn the election. Every CPAC panel this year about election integrity has implied that the Democrats cheated to get Biden to win. And then Trump makes the entire third act of his speech about it. The crowd chanted "You Won" during that part too.
How can you have a functioning democracy if one of the two political parties is constantly and directly accusing the other of cheating to win the election? Why bother to negotiate with people you are calling cheaters? And regardless of if they're arguing in bad faith, a sizeable part--possibly a majority--of their voter base genuinely believes it.
The Republicans are feeding into a mix of psychotic egotism and blind hatred for the sake of sacred votes and staying in power. Trump listing "RINOS" got more booing than mentioning any Democrat. The US will be lucky if the Republicans eat each other over this. If they get into power while having this egotistical psychopath as kingmaker and wannabe king, democracy in the USA will come to an end.
