"It looks like they used their claim, and their claim alone, that the elections were “rigged” as an excuse to start a mass revolt. Then they gathered the already hungry, disenchanted young people to join them."

It seems like if the voters truly rejected them, then they wouldn't have enough support to be able to start a mass revolt.

“It seems like if the voters truly rejected them, then they wouldn’t have enough support to be able to start a mass revolt.”

Well, who knows? A lot of the people in the protests are youths- I don’t know honestly what the voting age is over there- it might be that a lot of them didn’t even get to vote. Plus, the youths over there appear to be much more susceptible in recent times to accepting radical elements- you fill their heads with enough propaganda, and they will change if they are hungry enough, even if they initially rejected the MB.

I’d like to see some evidence verifying the claim that the elections weren’t valid, either way.

10% of say, 16 Million male eligible voters is still a heck of a lot of people, Danny.

And 20% of the 25 Million adult and teenage males are even more people...

Nobody stays in power for 30 years without being a complete tyrant or some seriously f’ed up elections. Or both.
