    And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?

    Trump actually (probably accidentally) made a masterful play in 2020. Democrats spent 4 years shutting down his insane-sounding claims that the election was stolen, and the ‘The election was stolen’ rhetoric became so synonymous with crazy that they couldn’t even question the results in 2024 despite obvious interference, and I think it’s still keeping them from putting up a fight over it now. They’re afraid that all of the republicans will just throw everything they said in 2020 right back at them, as if this situation is even remotely the same thing, and that it will make them look like the crazy ones.

      Pretty much this. Though it wasn’t a play by Trump, it was just how it played out.
