Yes, psy ops to discourage turnout and cause despair. When you have such a horrible candidate and damaging information coming out daily the best they have is lies and subterfuge.
Exactly! That's why the best strategy for us conservatives is to actively tune out negative articles, news, etc. Don't listen to it, don't click on the link, don't give any of it any attention at all. Stay positive, and--above all--stay in continual prayer.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Bible says we walk by faith, not by sight. Staring at the polls every 10 seconds, and trying desperately to figure out which combination of states Trump has to win in order to win the election, is not walking by faith. ;) Unfortunately, too many conservatives seem to be falling into that trap.
