You are wrong. You claim that the democrats cheated in the 2020 election, I would have loved some information to backup your claim. According to CNN Joe Biden lead the polls with a whopping 306 electoral votes and trump only having 232. The source you listed is clearly bias towards one party and gives no real facts about the 2020 election. Feel free to check out this CNN website for real facts about the 2020 election! https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/president

The post is flat out wrong. It claims that Democrats cheated and stole the 2020 Presidential election from Donald Trump. There is no basis for any of these claims as claims of wide spread voter fraud -- peddled by many of Trump's closest allies including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others -- were found to be baseless. Numerous judges, even Trump appointed ones, struck down Trump's legal team's lawsuits and filings claiming fraud in swing states. Further, the AP -- in 2020 -- cited many election officials to whom stated the election being "the most secure in American history." (AP News).

Additionally, the account responsible for the post has put up multiple posts mocking Democrats and putting up memes with homophobic and/or transphobic messaging. The user clearly has strong right wing bias and favors Trump and the Republican party. At a minimum, the user's post should be taken as exaggerated and misleading as it is heavily based in bias, if not considered false altogether.

This is an amazing fact check. I like how you not only cited your sources but you when in depth and explained why this claim is just straight up wrong.

The claim that Trump won the 2020 election is entirely blasphemous. You do a phenomenal job with this fact check. You can use facts and reputable sources to help you out. How you referenced the posts that he makes is also a great point and something that needs to be taken into account when talking about this topic.

Your response to this claim is done quite admirably. Not only do you cite reliable sources that back your statement, but you also show that you’ve investigated the user’s page and acknowledged their biases.
