What I expect to happen is that long before even the primary races begin, this place is gonna shake like the New Madrid Fault on a bad day. Brace for the influx of party operatives and "hired hands", well-versed in the tactics of opposition-stomping. Anyone who veers off the official party line by even a millimeter will be set up and knocked down. I anticipate a wave of bannings the likes of which have never been seen before, once those pros jump in and start stirring the pot with expert precision. Time to break out the references and brush up on propaganda techniques and logical fallacies. Learn to recognize when you're being lied to. Go in knowing it's bait, and that what they're after is an intemperate, emotional response.

The "but" is that, realistically, there are going to be a lot of decent folks that are gonna be dropping like flies, easy prey to paid pros "who do this for a living."
