pyrrhic victory = a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Winning a Pyrrhic victory takes a heavy toll that negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress.

The phrase originates from a quote from Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose triumph against the Romans in the Battle of Asculum in 279 BC destroyed much of his forces and—while a tactical victory—forced the end of his campaign.

...and the end result will cripple their party for decades, if not end it.

Except they didn't win on election night. They pulled out a "win" in the days after election day.

What they did to achieve that "win" will end up destroying themselves.

So he's saying even if Biden wins, the mass awaking to their voter fraud schemes will mean we eventually take back control at the midterms and beyond?

Maybe. I interpreted it as saying election night was their victory, but now they're screwed.

I was thinking this might be what he was saying, I don't like it.

No, I think they took their victory from the fraud, now they die on it. I do not believe we lose the WH. The victory is the one they are falsely claiming at the hands of fraud.

I do not so much believe it is that soft, but on a scale where their corruption was outed and made them vulnerable to certain prosecution. They have yet to beat President Trump and this was their end game... which happened to be President Trump's in trapping them.

The only thing I can glean from this is that a lot of republicans are probably indicated in the plot. Heavy losses but a victory is a Pyrrhic victory

The swamp is deep- I have no doubt there are plenty of swampy Republicans.

I assume the pyyrich victory he is referencing is the the dems winning the presidency but losing all the house seats and not winning the senate? F all that. We want total victory.

I read it this way - The Dems are playing for all the marbles, if they do win, it will be of no use to them, as they will be destroyed in the process. So better fro tehm to make a tacticla retreat now, and hope to win in a future election. - Note, he is warning the dems that its not worth it, not the GOP, whom he is certain will be victorious

I was reading it in a way where he thinks even if they win the WH the win will leave them completely destroyed. Not good.

I hope you are right though, and I hope I read it wrong and you read it right.

Pyrrhic victory. This expression alludes to King Pyrrhus of Epirus, who defeated the Romans at Asculum in b.c. 279, but lost his best officers and many of his troops. A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.

Their “victory” is election night/Biden being crowned president -elect. The cost will be revealed shortly. If it is truly an overwhelming loss to make it a Pyrrhic victory, it could mean the utter destruction of the Democratic Party.

Essentially saying the Dems may have destroyed their entire party trying to beat Trump, and all they get out of it is the media calling Biden “president-elect” for a few weeks.

Pretty much what they are trying to censor.

Trump Lawsuit is about to form and all the before action with McConnell and Graham and Staff changes was laying the prep work for it?

"Media and bootlicker"s. That means the media + republicans and democrats that are on their side. Maybe even as far as other leaders in other countries that congratulated Biden.

"even if things appear to go their way..." Its going to look like they're winning.

"They might want to seek out Pyrrhus of Epirus for advice." Then they're going to get completely wiped out.

I can only read this as Trump may not win (it's a toss up) but we're going to clean up the whole system...

Not trying to be a doomer, just trying to decode this message.

It is annoying that everyone speaks in code anymore. I guess it could be hard with the limited space in a post but I wish they could give more details.
