Only ban democrat voting military?
Pretty sure that’s the plan.
Failing a block on mail voting the GOP could return to the tactics from 2016 such as shutting down multitudes of polling booths so democrat leaning voters can’t get to the election booth. Or go back to voter suppression, or targetted Facebook ads that are full of bs. All these tactics worked a treat back then. So all is not lost.
Meanwhile, back on planet earth, another trump challenge just bit the dust. Sigh.

So every time Trump lies about Biden, and/or takes credit for stuff he didn't do, that's fraud, yeah?
Yeah nah
Only ban democrat voting military?
Yeah nah
Why is it ok for the military but no one else?
They've been doing it for decades and can do so securely. It's like the geese complaining BuT tRuMp VoTeS bY mAiL. Not all mail processes are created equal. Having tens of millions of people doing it means that 4am fraudulent dumps can occur.

Honestly, many of you see everything in black and white. There's grey areas, there's nuance m8.

It’s not nuanced at all Biden received 80 million votes and your boy Donny got 73 million. It’s all a numbers game and the Tangerine Tyrant is going to be a one term president.

Prove to me that regular people can’t do it securely. Because Trump hadn’t been able to in court. Dropping known bullshit like ‘4am fraudulent dumps’ suggests you can’t, you’re just a sucker for a Trump sound bite.

You know, or ought to know, that there was no widespread fraud because, for all their bluster at press conferences, the Trump campaign‘s own lawyers have not turned up in court and alleged fraud because they don’t want to be disbarred for lying to the court

If there was actually a fraudulent dump of votes are 4am, why can't it be proven? Seems that sort of thing would be easy to prove yet nada in the courts.

If only the courts could look into the mess that is Donald Trump’s mind.
Then again maybe not. On second thoughts no one should be exposed to that sort of horror.

You get the feeling now that these fake court cases are only being kept up to continue the illusion for his army of poor deluded fans that he was wronged. If you tell a lie enough times eventually it becomes the truth, for those dumb enough to believe it.

We know in 6 months time he is going to be on Trump TV saying “there were 38 court cases. More court cases than any election ever. No election was ever like this election”

Notwithstanding every single court case was a Hail Mary

everything is bullshit.

Fleece the base for as long as possible

Create as much chaos as possible for Biden.

Create the narrative for Trump TV

This is the Trump lawsuit state of play. If anyone doesn’t know what the numbers mean the Trump team have won 1 case but have lost 39 challenges.

Yes, and court case they ‘won’ was about as important as having the scorer change a behind from being rushed to being credited to the full forward

Trump knows there hasn't been any voter fraud. Its all just spin because he believed he could steal it in the courts and that would be the cover story for subverting democracy. Its just the same con he's been pulling his whole life and I think he genuinely believed he could pull it off on this scale.

He must wonder what the point of installing all those judges was.

If I remember correctly it was an early Pennsylvania one which allowed observers to go within 6 feet instead of 20 feet of the counting.

Big win there.

Create the narrative for Trump TV

Trump is nothing if not consistent:
  • His campaign began with a lie (birtherism)
  • His administration began with a lie (inauguration crowd size)
  • His administration is ending with a lie (election fraud)
 
Trump is nothing if not consistent:
  • His campaign began with a lie (birtherism)
  • His administration began with a lie (inauguration crowd size)
  • His administration is ending with a lie (election fraud)
The consistency and skill set is around the ability and lets face it brazen tactics to control the narrative. Using social media to make the absurd seem plausible for those wanting to believe.

Whether you agree or disagree with Trump and/or his supporters, I think Trump successfully tapped into the social media era where people can now curate their own news and whoever shouts the loudest online is believed over the experts, and people hunt for 'facts' that confirm their world view. It is easy for an anti-vaxxer to find 'science' supporting their stance even if it flies in the face of every medical doctor's advice. Like it or not, politicians have to adapt to this.

Sure, as a campaign tactic, saying any batshit crazy thing that pops into you head and having an army of minions endlessly repeat and amplify the lie can be effective. The problem is that it’s not a formula for governing. You can’t make the Covid cases, hospitalisations, and deaths go away with lies. Nor can you make an election defeat go away with lies. Ultimately, this will disappoint and decimate his supporters.
