You may have read or heard about the coming “red mirage” on election night. The in-person vote totals will initially show a win by President Donald J. Trump that will fade away as mail-in and absentee ballots are counted. The red mirage will become a blue wave if, but only if, all the ballots are counted.
Trump and the rest of the GOP know that democracy is not in their favor, so keeping the vote count low as possible works to their advantage. The plan, as I understand it, is to declare victory as soon as possible on election night and fight it out from there. The goal is to yet again manipulate the archaic Electoral College into a bogus win that overrides the will of the American people.
Take Pennsylvania, for example. Trump will declare victory in that state on election night. But when mail-in ballots turn the table on Trump, the GOP-controlled legislature will simply appoint GOP-faithful electors and boom, there goes Pennsylvania for Trump. Same goes for several other states as well. So it’s easy to see where things end up being settled in a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court.
I say f*#k that sh%t! We cannot allow this to go down this way! If we do, it will be the end of democracy. It will be the end of the United States. We must be willing to make sacrifices; that of our very lives if unfortunately necessary to secure democracy for future generations. We must be prepared for war, because you better believe the other side sure is!
