I strongly disapprove of Trump’s post-election antics, but I believe them to be less important than the Democrat’s use of illegal immigration to boost their vote. If the US had no illegal immigration from Latin America, the Democrats would have lost about a fifth of their current voters, and, unless they radically changed their platform, would have lost all Congress and Presidential elections in the past twenty years.
Thanks for answering but I don’t get it. I think trying to steal an election is really bad. Is it just that Trump didn’t succeed that makes the difference?
And I don’t really know what you refer to when you say “Democrat’s use of illegal immigration to boost their vote”. I know illegal (and legal) immigrants tend to lean democrat, but illegal immigrants can’t vote. Is there some study looking at demographic patterns or so? What are the immigration policies of democrats that you think is wrong, and do you have a problem with legal immigration, as that helps democrats too?
Also, immigrants are more than just votes. America has historically had a high level of immigration, who bring a lot of good to the US. Just because a policy is good for democrats doesn’t make it into a bad policy. If you don’t like immigration or naturalization, then that’s fine, but I don’t think democrats should avoid a policy just because it will help them.

I believe the most likely interpretation of the events is that Trump was not actually trying to steal the elections but to make most Republicans believe that the victory was stolen from him so that he could have another chance in 2024.

Millions of illegal immigrants were naturalized by Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, or by having children on US soil and subsequently applying for family reunification visas.
I am certainly not opposed to immigration in principle (I’m an immigrant myself). However, in my opinion, whether immigration is beneficial for the country depends on how the specific immigrant group compares to the native population in terms of culture, education, and professional background. Do they support religious freedom or do they want to impose their religion on others? Do they support the free market and free speech? Will they become net tax-payers? Will their presence raise the local crime rates? For most illegal immigrants, the answers to these questions are not encouraging.
The “Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986” was passed by Ronald Reagan, a Republican, so probably not an attempt by democrats to get votes.

Where are you getting this interpretation? He is not saying this, no one around him is saying this. He says that the 2020 election was rigged. He says that it was so rigged that he should be able to suspend the constitution. He tried to execute a plan which, if successful, would have made him president. How was he not trying? Was Rudy Giuliani not trying? Were the fake electors not trying when they signed all those fake documents? Was Trump not trying on January 6, when he told the protestors to pressure Mike Pence to go through with his plan? Were the Proud Boys not trying when they broke into the capitol? Were whoever placed pipe bombs around DC on Jan 5 not trying?
It feels like for someone not trying, he sure made a large impact and made a lot of people believe that he was trying and that they should try to help him win (because it was so rigged).
