In a speech in tiny Walker Michigan on Friday night, Donald Trump once again attempted to prime his supporters with talk of what he believes will be another stolen election by claiming his opponents “cheat.”
However, as the Detroit Free Press is reporting, some of his MAGA supporters are tired of hearing about the 2020 election and are willing to accept the fact that he may well lose again in November.
According to the report, Trump told the assembled rallygoers, “Keep your eyes open, because these people want to cheat and they do cheat and frankly, it’s the only thing they do well.”
One attendee, when asked about Trump’s claims, said it was time for the former president to move on to what he will do for voters if he is re-elected.
Jordan Walton, 24, explained that he has made his peace with Trump losing in 2020, and then stated, “It sucks. But yeah, he lost,” before adding, “Well, I think he kind of screwed himself to be honest, because he wasn’t promoting among his voters vote-by-mail.”
Walton admitted he would accept another Trump loss, saying, “Ain’t going to be happy, but you know, it is what it is.”
Thomas Van Overloop, a 19-year-old student, echoed Walton on moving on from the 2020 loss, explaining, “I wasn’t a big fan of (Jan. 6) and the stolen election thing. I think we’ve got to look to the future instead of looking back.”
According to the report, David Ortez, 28, “… said he would accept another Trump loss and doesn’t think the election was stolen four years ago. He said he’s had conversations with other Trump supporters who disagree, but he said when that happens, he nods his head and tries to avoid an argument.”
Ortez also claimed he doesn’t want to see a repeat of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“No crazy s**t. We don’t need that. We have too much nonsense in the world right now, and we don’t need more violence. That’s the last thing we need,” he lamented.
