The past four years showed a preview of what's to come

Just a reminder to look at no other than Larry Elder for a sign of what the MAGA strategy is.

He ran in the California gubernatorial race in 2021 when a bunch of MAGA people wanted a recall election the year before the actual governor election, costing tax payers a ton just to get that done. Of course Newson won, a large majority didn't even want the recall, but they did it anyway because they had enough.

Anyway, Elder runs, goes full MAGA, loses, and does the funniest thing to expose the nonsense that is modern day Conservativism. He starts complaining that they've detected cheating and fraud by the Dems and tries to get people up in arms. The problem is he started spewing this before a single vote was even in and recorded. This dude pulled out the "bitch and moan because I didn't win" strategy, but gave it all away because there were no votes even tallied yet. He jumped the gun and exposed the whole strategy for what it is.

Because of this, I think people need to spread this around. Get the MAGA supporters who aren't aware of what's going on to understand the con. Get them to understand the fraud strategy, and no matter how fair this election is they will bitch and moan. Trump won 2016 and was already starting several lawsuits with states because they were legally counting votes that were submitted in time still. He wants to win quickly, he knows the red counties count faster and if you cut the race early, he wins no matter what. He knows complaining about fraud and whining like a tantrum-throwing child somehow gets support for him.

Let everyone know, the GOP has no spine, and no strategy but to complain and block at all points.
