Americans are such ignorant controllable sheep, they don't even realize 2000 and 2004 were stolen. A lot of the tactics they used back then, either Trump tried using those tactics now OR Trump accused Democrats of using the same tactics that Republicans used in 2000. Or Trump hoped it would go the way 2000 went. For example, he just wanted to throw a monkey wrench into the certification of the vote. If he could accomplish that, maybe the Supreme Court would decide who won like in 2000.
Or Trump was hoping each House of Rep would get to vote, or each Senator. If it went down that way, he would have won.
Trump was hoping his riot would stop the certification just like Republicans rioted in 2000

Interesting that Roger Stone was involved with the Brooks Brother riots and fast forward 20 years Trump pardoned him for whatever scumbag thing he did.
