Ever since Citizens United, dark money flowed like the Mississippi river. They knew exactly where to target the racists, homophobes, etc. They knew who were the one issue voters, and were essentially using propaganda ever since Biden was swore in. They were campaigning for four years.

Was this a clean campaign, absolutely not, but it doesn't mean it was illegal. Lot of stupid people out there. And here's the rub, we have figure out how to get them to vote D.
