They'll Come to Wish They Had Just Let Trump Win in 2020

Topic: Perspective

January 20, 2025, is just two short weeks away. Fourteen days – that’s it. With all the intentional chaos being reported in the news, and the outgoing president awarding some of the most wicked people in the modern world our nation’s greatest decorations, that time may seem like it will never pass, but it will.

It is not lost on me that today is January 6, the ominous four-year anniversary of the entrapment scheme at the U.S. Capitol, and also the day Congress is supposed to count electoral votes and officially certify Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as the 47th President and 50th Vice President, respectively.

In an alternate universe somewhere, the political ruling class is also just 14 days away from being done with Donald Trump for good. That universe would be the one in which they allowed Donald Trump to tally his 270 electoral votes on November 3, 2020, and declare victory without obstruction, and take the oath on January 20, 2021, to begin his second term in office. It was an easy option – don’t call Arizona with just a smidgeon of the vote counted, let Trump keep Georgia, which he had in the bag so clearly even Brad Raffensperger told the mainstream media he didn’t think results would change with outstanding ballots, and deal the cards in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in full view of the nation:

· All Trump States + North Carolina = 232

· Plus Georgia = 248

· Plus Arizona = 259

· Plus Pennsylvania = 279

With just those states, Trump wouldn’t have even needed Michigan (which would have won it in lieu of Pennsylvania), Wisconsin (which would have tied it in lieu of Pennsylvania or Michigan), or Nevada. These electoral equations have nearly vanished into the sands of time and been replaced with much better memories of a do-over in which these states went the way they should have in 2020 – but grave damage has been done to our country that will take far longer than four years to reverse, if it is reversed at all.

Had those in charge of the decision-making stopped themselves from forcing more than 81 million ballots for Biden into the ledger and seeding 42,918 ballots in margin over three states, the 45^th President would be on his way out in two short weeks, almost certainly succeeded by a Democrat, given that only one party since the end of World War II has won three consecutive terms in the White House (Republicans Reagan and Bush 41 in the 1980s). Even without cheating, it is likely Trump would have been surrounded by even larger Democrat majorities gained in the 2022 midterms, making both legislation and Senate confirmations impossible.

But that scenario never came to pass. It is merely a work of fiction. Before the 2020 election, I was just another veteran that bounced around industries after getting out of the service, and now I have one of the largest platforms in the world focusing mostly on the battle for free and fair elections. Clearly, my life has changed and so has my view of what my mission in the battle for liberty is in this period since Joe Biden, who sees fits to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to villains like Hillary Clinton and George Soros, usurped the most powerful office in the world. While I regret the impact of the 2020 quasi-election and the seating of Joe Biden, I recognize the role it played in forcing me, and others like me, to get busy in the fight for America, and I believe the 2020 election may wind up being what saved America for the long run.

I have three key reasons for arriving at that conclusion:

I. A Major Political Realignment Came to Fruition in 2024

We saw signs of the coming Trump minority voter boom in 2020, but mostly in red states. The massive swings in Miami-Dade County, Florida, plus the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas that year were canaries in the coal mine that something much bigger was about to happen, and this time, in blue states, too.

I pointed out in a June article that it wasn’t just Latinos changing their political stripes – but black men, Asians, and Native Americans. All those hypotheses came to pass as fact, with Harris not getting rural black margins big enough to win North Carolina or Georgia and lacking the votes of their urban counterparts in the “blue wall” states to win them. She lost a majority of Asians, which includes both Indians and East Asians) in Texas, and the nationwide shifting of that diverse group tightened many states previously thought to be on the political backburner, like New Jersey. Native Americans chipped in for the strongest GOP presidential performances in places like Apache County, Arizona, in four decades.

Of course, the Latino shift we all knew would continue turned Florida and Texas into extinction level events for Democrats, tightened California, New York, Illinois, New Mexico, and other states, and flipped Arizona and Nevada for Trump.

Trump “lost” the 2020 election because of last minute rule changes and the execution of a decade worth of planning to steal elections, combining the fruit of Automatic Voter Registration with the California-perfected practice of ballot harvesting, which was used to mop up the countless tens of millions of ballots blasted out to every corner of the nation. Trump won the 2024 election despite increased cheating in the decisive states, and it appears that without the organic minority shifts that deprived Harris of ballots she expected to receive, it could be her, not Trump, taking the oath in two weeks.

Trump being allowed to win the 2020 election on the strength of his white-working class base in the Midwest would have most likely sent the political scene veering to the left starting in the run-up to the 2022 midterms and push the swing voters (increasingly Latino and Asian) that direction instead of to the right as the nation geared up to pick a president of the other party, as has been customary for seven decades now.

For a long-term political coalition, the emergence of Trump’s winning 2024 coalition was a must have. For example, in North Carolina, Latinos are the fastest growing group, and they grew by 40% in population from 2010 to 2020. Allowing Democrats to control minority voter margins like they did in the Obama heyday would mean electoral demise for the newly minted GOP brand.
