what the fuck did they think they were gonna accomplish
Confusion while Trump steals the election. Make a movie based on lies that'll convince idiots that their version of reality is true.
Now watch as they run to OAN or Breitbart or something and scream “PerseCuTiOn!”
US democracy is on thin ice. Enough people are willing to overlook any of the stuff mentioned in this discussion and vote for Trump to flip the elections if Biden fucks up anything. Literally anything, like stumbling over a fold in a rug or forgetting a name.
Headlines
There were a ridiculous number of court cases in 2020 brought by Trump fans about faking the election.
Not a single one won in court.
These people are fucking idiots.
Simple, it’s about the money “WERE FIGHTING FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY, DONATE TO STOP THE DEMON-CRAT STEAL”
They might hope to win the case (making chud lawyers rich), but losing has its own appeal. The SovCit or conspiracy angle that ‘the swamp’ is covering for Biden, perpetuating their victimhood until the next election.m, is like moths to a flame
Right wing news will run endless stories over the first part and totally bury the second part.
You're right. Sadly we live in a country where you can sue anyone for anything. Most people don't know how the legal system works. These networks make a living exploiting that.
