  It was decisive. Hopefully there was fraud because the alternative is worse, but there probably wasn't or we'd have heard specific accusations by now. The most likely explanation for Trump winning the election by such a huge margin is that the majority of voters simply prefer Trump's government. My pet theory is that compared to 2020, all the new Democrat voters who voted because they were tired of Trump didn't bother to repeat it, but all the new Republican voters who joined the Trump cult stayed in the cult and voted again. That's a legitimate election victory, not fraud. It's known that red states engaged in voter suppression, but not enough to cause these numbers. I think it's okay to protest against fascism even when fascism legitimately wins an election, but not okay to protest for fascism even when fascism legitimately loses, so I'm not sure I'd call it a lack of self-awareness.
