Any potential voter fraud aside. The state of the USA and the last few elections shows that they indeed can do it and have a substantial amount of people believe them.
It's not that surprising really. Nobody wants to be the resistance. They'll say so but being the resistance sucks. You get jailed and/or killed. Larping as resistance on the other hand is cool. You get to pretend you are all virtuous while constantly getting high fives from everyone.
They are indeed larping as the "resistance". Their "resistance" is not a resistance they get a high out of "being virtuous" and they sacrifice nothing , get praised by the powers, and they are supported by all the powerful institutions. Being an actual resistance is actually hard ,without big institutional power backing and with actual struggle, sacrifice and often hopelessness when things seem impossible and you feel cornered by the actual aggressors
