What people? The multitudes that comprise the user base of social media? Normal people aren't thinking that.
Then why didn't it happen in 2020? This is getting ridiculous.
It did happen, it just failed.

That's not even close to the same thing. One is the accusation that a sitting president would ensure there will not be another election implying he would hold office until he chooses otherwise.
Your link is about a bunch of rednecks trying to interrupt the confirmation of a person who was already elected to be the next president (which means the election already took place).
There are plenty of genuine reasons to shit on Trump. Stick to the truth.
