An enlightening documentary that finally (hopefully) puts the nail in the coffin of the alleged voter fraud of 2020

TLDR

Let’s just hope there’s no Stopping the Steal 2.0, please.

What it's about

Republican officials and former Trump staffers weigh in on and criticize the allegations of voter fraud that emerged during the 2020 elections.

The take

I’m just as sick of hearing about the 2020 elections as the next person, especially since we have a new wave of candidates to review and prepare for in the coming months, but Stopping the Steal has one attention-grabbing appeal: it has Republican officials and Trump supporters explain how the former president lost the race. As a result, the documentary feels justified, if not substantive. These are his people objectively and plainly expressing their disappointment over his decisions. But don’t expect a 180-degree shift in principle. They’re still aboard the Trump train for the most part, but they want you to know they can be level-headed if they want to be. The film, helmed by Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed, eventually loses steam midway as it tells the story chronologically and straightforwardly, occasionally rerepeating its points. But it’s still a worthwhile watch if only to definitely prove how baseless the voter fraud accusations are.

What stands out

The fear that this might all happen again this year.
