They know they cannot win without cheating people out of their right to vote!

And they know that the more people who vote, the more likely it is that they'll elect Democrats.

During the California recall, there were a few candidates with experience, but the challenger who got the most votes was a right-wing radio host! And then there's TFG...

The insanity and thus the pandemic has gotten totally out of control. The new administration has done an amazing job in addressing it as soon as they took office, but since it was completely ignored for over a year, it had already spread out of control and killed thousands - not to mention that the ridiculous conspiracy theories had been allowed to take hold, started or spread by TFG, so too many stubbornly refuse to accept the lifesaving truth.
