Trump's list of tactics is becoming clear: at least 5 different plans to steal the election

Donald Trump knows he is unlikely to win a fair election in 2020. But his strategies to cheat are so numerous and scattershot — did you catch that story about how acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf blocked a report about Russian propaganda? — that it’s tempting to take comfort in the hope that he has no overarching strategy to fake or steal a second term.

In truth, however, the sheer number of schemes in play is all the more reason to worry, because it shows Trump’s team is flexible and capable of adapting to changing circumstances. Worse yet, it shows they have a number of fallback plans. If one effort fails, then another effort might just work. Attacking our democracy on multiple fronts depletes the resources (time, money, energy) of their opponents, making it likelier that one effort will break through and be successful.

There is good news, however. A combination of Trump’s big mouth, the continued courage of whistleblowers and the fact that Republicans have to conduct a lot of their scheming through the media means that, with two months to go, Trump’s plans to distort, subvert or flat-out steal the election have come into view. Democrats, and anyone else who still believes in democracy, can avoid being caught flat-footed. What’s required is to take all this seriously, instead of hiding behind increasingly foolish hopes that it can’t happen here.

Because folks inevitably object to any proposal that Trump is scheming, on the grounds that he’s too dumb to pull any such thing off, let’s just get this out of the way: Trump doesn’t need to be smart. He just needs to surround himself with smart but immoral people. There’s significant evidence he has done just that.

1. All schemes but one

Actually running and winning on an electable platform.

These lazy shitheads won't even bother with winning fair and square.

2. His plan is evident. We have to

act accordingly. Vote early - in person if it's possible/safe. If not, vote early and track your ballot. Have a plan B.

(Preaching to the choir, I know.)

3. There has been intelligence testimony from the 2016

...elections that Russia had gained access to voting machines and or voter tabulations. They gained access But didn’t change any votes, as if they were only making a dry run practice.
Perhaps Nov 3rd is their D day.

4. 100 million democratic votes will prevent any theft

5. Trump is telling his "more briliant" followers...

...to vote early and vote often ??

"Cheat for me. I got your back."

6. They do try all the dirty tricks they can think of...crippling the Post Office, no longer...

giving intel briefings to Congress, the whole law and order scam to take covid out of the headlines, that "Sleepy Joe" just doesn't have the mental cognition needed meme, the Kanye West fake campaign, the outright garbage spewing by trump about black-clad figures from the dark shadows flying into cities to control the streets, and of course they're counting on the vote-switching, proprietary software provided to repug secretaries of state and repug vote officials to change just enough votes on voting machines in close elections—its all of a piece, the theory being that a few votes peeled off here, and there and with this or that dirty scam they'll be able to eke out just enough to win the EC with a narrow margin as they did in 2016.

It won't work though because Biden is proving more and more with his solid appearances and answers at pressers that he's so on top of things with solutions to trump's fuck ups, and that he is a decent, thoughtful, caring man as opposed to the hateful, at times delusional clown show of "fake new" yeling and lying a mile a minute trump.

7. I keep saying, even if Trump steals the election

How will he govern the States, maintain Law and Order.....?
