My wife’s whole family were Detroit Democrats.... all republicans now. All think Trump is the best president in US history.
They’re probably more pro-Trump than me now
When you escape the plantation ... you run fast and hard.
Election fraud is my only fear now.
Under normal circumstances the fraud is designed to make it look like a close race.
As long as the race is close, no one asks questions. And those who do, are ostracized as conspiracy theorists.
The closer the race is, the harder it is for the average normy to accept the possibility of fraud. Even with the whole hanging chad incident, the average normy didn't even consider fraud as an actual possibility. They were mad that it was so close, they were mad that people counting the votes 'made mistakes,' they were mad that 'not enough people voted' they were mad, at the electoral college.
Again in 2016, the media made it out to look like a close race, so they were mad that not enough people voted, they were mad at the people counting the votes for making mistakes (see all the dems starting recounts and lawsuits they abandoned on finding evidence of fake dem votes) and they were mad, at the electoral college.
Now contrast how people would behave if there had been a massive landslide. Every single incident of fraud would be under a microscope, every possibility of trickery would be the target of their rage.
As long as they keep the votes close, the questions don't get asked, and the resentment and division grows.
But this time they aren't going to take chances, they are going to cheat every conceivable way they can. From top to bottom every dem who can get their hands on a ballot is going to fuck with the election. Psychology of the close vote be damned, an upset victory leading to civil war is the goal.
Your response helped me focus a bit more logically, but I can't help feeling really very anxious regardless. Thank you for your thoughts.
A lot is on the line... plenty of reason to be anxious.
I try to be “anxious for nothing ... but with everything in prayer to God with thanksgiving” (Philippians ch 4)
I know my worry doesn’t do anything but stress myself. But it’s hard... sometimes I just have to take a break from the internet to help
I guess many here would be anxious, because the Republicans let it happen in Minnesota (Franken's election), then rolled over and full allowed the democrats to sweep republicans out of conservative areas, using this same format.
Stands to reason they're ready to go nation-wide with such cheating, since they view every republican as an illegitimately elected thing, so their efforts to "true the vote" to keep "illegitimate election results" from occurring through schemes like this are totally justified.
Perhaps people would have a bit more optimism if we'd seen at least a LITTLE successful push-back by the conservative side in all of this.
This is a really helpful perspective and has reduced my stress a ton. Thanks.
To be honest I am more worried about the house and local elections swinging over voter fraud than the presidency. Don't misunderstand though, there are enough super tight battleground states in play to swing from Trump to Biden if 1-2% votes are fraudulently swung to Biden by alteration or discarding Republican ballots (in the mail in system), but it's much easier to swing smaller elections than big ones. We really need the house and without fraud its already going to be close with favor on Democrats.
We need to shift some of our focus on memeing the hell out of Democrat frontrunners in these local races IMO.
Yeah fraud is a much greater risk in local elections where a R might win a D district by like 0.5%, because there are no doubt a lot of people that will vote for Trump but not a straight R ticket because...Republicans are still often trash.
Definitely- if they can't win by cheating, the chaos created will be their consolation prize.
Then we should too, at least we will know , if we get caught they get caught too.
