"... Trump routinely claims to have won all 50 states, California included, 'if we had an honest count.' Proof is irrelevant to a convenient dogma masquerading as civic concern, and of course, the point of this exercise isn’t to prove anything. [snip]
"Voter fraud is far more useful as a bogeyman running riot, allowing Republicans to propose massive disenfranchisement as a needed corrective. After Speaker Mike Johnson insisted that 'everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here' — pointing to belief in the conspiracy theory his party trumpets as proof of its veracity — he articulated the real goal: to allow Republicans to arbitrarily cut off tabulation and declare any outstanding votes to be invalid. [snip]
"The good news is that this time Democrats are prepared for the fight. Litigation teams will be in place to fight the effort to steal the midterms. And while Trump’s second Justice Department would almost certainly go to court to advance bogus fraud claims, the public disintegration of the DOJ under Todd Blanche guarantees that courts will treat those claims with extreme skepticism. Put simply, courts are no longer willing to take the DOJ’s word for it — no matter what it is.
"The
solution is to be prepared, not panicked. Fraud theories that can't
survive a Meet the Press interview will wither under cross examination.
The fight will come, but we can win it..." -- Liz Dye, "Public Notice" Substack, on "MAGA's kayfabe meltdown over California primary." As we noted earlier today, Democrats seem to be going into the mid-terms with eyes wide open and a plan to fight back against expected interference in the elections. Should the Malignant Fascist and his fascist party/cult have any success in derailing a Democratic blue wave, a general strike, mass demonstrations, etc., will likely be part of the mix as well, ramping up the pressure as needed.
