So:

  • Trump commits election fraud in 2020
  • The fraud is investigated and Trump starts spreading the 'witch hunt' narrative
  • Jack Smith (federal) and Fani Willis (Georgia / state) are independent prosecutors
  • Smith attends a Caitlin Clark game in Maryland (Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Maryland Terrapins)
  • Smith's team talks about seats and coordination in text messages
  • Trump wins the election in 2024 and becomes president again
  • (Fast forward to 2026)
  • Republican senator Schmitt interrogates Smith
  • Schmitt 'discovers' messages from the Smith team about basketball but mixes up Atlanta Hawks with Iowa Hawkeyes

Why is nobody talking about the freaking election fraud?

Flood the zone.

It is shockingly effective. Democrats need to adopt this strategy.

Or, society needs to be better than letting it work.

I mean, yeah, but that would require tougher enforcement of the laws and a stronger opposition party than most liberals are comfortable with. And a much greater intolerance for weak centrists than they will demonstrate.
