On the close of Thursday night's convention, he will walk on water

Yes, folks. Step right up and watch dear leader actually walk on water. He may even do a couple of spins and jumps to enhance your state of awe. And he might even top off this finale by drinking an entire bottle of bleach.

Okay, I don't blame you if you're skeptical about this. After all, you and I are not the audience he's playing to.

But would you really be surprised if we saw a "film" of what's described above? And just how surprised would you be if his followers actually believed it was real?

There is nothing, absolutely nothing that dear leader can do that his cult wouldn't believe.

And add to that, there is nothing, absolutely nothing he won't do to steal this election.

With the help of high tech, he's running the biggest con in the history of the world. And what's terrifying is that he just might get away with it. And if he does, what are we going to do about it?

Note that I said "we," as in "We The People." We cannot let a stolen election stand. Because if we do, we would probably be aiding and abetting the destruction of modern civilization, -- first in America, and then the rest of the world.

So again I ask. What do we do if this madman succeeds in stealing it? (And we need an answer now, not after it's a fait accompli.)

And drag everyone you know to the voting booths.

Or to a mailbox.

We really need a plan B. Everyone must understand that all norms are gone -- including our elections.

get our asses out there and make sure the election is working.

You shouldn't be alone-- Democratic organizations should will be working on it, and if they don't YOU are the Democratic organization. They can't hold us all down.

Because this is the most truth I've seen in the fewest words on this forum in a while.

The key quote is "And just how surprised would you be if his followers actually believed it was real?"

Sadly, this is what we have to deal with, and it's very, very serious.

They'll still say he did it, though, because gaslighting.
