21. "Speculating"? No. Everything they do is to help the loser, Trump, steal the election
Sat Aug 29, 2020, 02:59 PM
Aug 2020

Everything. the entire RNC was part of it, with no platform, no promise of policy changes to right the course, with its pretense that the plague was over, that violence and vandalism are all on Biden, that the police are the best of us, the protesters the worst; DeJoy is part of it and the only way that he stays out of prison now is if he doubles down on destroying the USPS' ability to process ballots; Barr is a big part of it with his "no, no, look over here!" investigations that turn up nothing but distract from the evidence of the plan to steal the election. Every thing they do is part of the plan.

And I'm not giving us more than a 50-50 chance of prevailing.

As it looks now, especially seeing what happened in Kenosha, there will be blood. That's not a pessimistic prophecy, it's part of their plan. The more of us they lure into the streets to protest and fight, the more of us they will be able to kill and arbitrarily imprison, and the more the can do that, the easier for them to consolidate power and ensure that future Trumps* will win "elections" by the authoritarian required 98%.

*as in Donnie and Ivanka

Vote for Joe but keep your powder dry.
