This seems like the sort of thing you don’t say out loud but, like a serial killer, many in politics are just too absorbed in their own egos to not try to take credit for their deeds.
TIME wrote a very interesting piece making some very alarming claims. Namely, that a secret cabal banded together across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election. This included everything from manipulating media coverage to getting election laws changed, at least according to TIME’s account.

If you had said this out loud on Twitter a few months ago, it would have gotten you banned. https://t.co/hub7XtzKfh

Yeah, this seems like a pretty big deal to me, and nakedly undemocratic, at least if you care about that sort of thing. Politics is inherently manipulative on some level, I suppose, but working to change election laws and quenching the flow of information to affect an election is a bit past your typical bluster on the stump.
Of course, none of this is especially groundbreaking to those who have been paying attention. For all the chatter about “dark money” and “interfering in elections,” it’s always been those on the left (and that includes the “right-wing” Chamber of Commerce mentioned here) who have had a no holds barred approach to winning. Given the control over popular culture, financial institutions, and political influence operations that the left wields, it’s hardly shocking they’d use every lever to defeat Trump.
Yet, the hypocrisy is still a bit much. We dealt with four years of hyperventilating about Russia and Facebook posts from anti-Trump forces, yet the reality of who is truly interfering in our elections hits much closer to home. The actions listed in the TIME article are also far, far more consequential and dangerous to free and fair elections.
I just want to say that it is the opposite of Democracy when a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites conspire to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win
But shit, not like this is a new storyhttps://t.co/RvTT0Kx8IX

No matter, this secret cabal isn’t made up of imaginary Russians so it’s all good. The left truly only care about election interference and manipulation when they deem it a threat to their own preferred outcomes. Otherwise, they are all for it. You won’t see the mainstream media decry this. You won’t see a tearful lament from Nancy Pelosi about the dangers it poses to our republic. Rather, this will all be ignored. Heck, it’ll be celebrated as a brilliant political strategy.
And while I’m sure some fact-checker will have qualms with me describing what this group did as manipulation, I believe the objective definition of that word more than applies here. When you seek to stop people from having information that could affect their vote, that’s manipulation. When you go and lobby to get certain laws changed specifically to help your side, that’s manipulation. It is what it is.
Meanwhile, Republicans can get in the game or get busy losing again.

Trump addressed the crowd that afternoon, peddling the lie that lawmakers or Vice President Mike Pence could reject states’ electoral votes. He told them to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell.” Then he returned to the White House as they sacked the building. As lawmakers fled for their lives and his own supporters were shot and trampled, Trump praised the rioters as “very special.” It was his final attack on democracy, and once again, it failed. By standing down, the democracy campaigners outfoxed their foes. “We won by the skin of our teeth, honestly, and that’s an important point for folks to sit with,” says the Democracy Defense Coalition’s Peoples.
Talk about “getting out in front of a story”; this is probably the most epic example of getting out in front of a story that I’ve ever seen. If an investigative journalist like John Solomon were to have uncovered all of this and written the story without all of the leftist spin, this would be the story of the decade.

BINGO
They complain about a couple of smashed windows at the Capital?
ha!
Looks like those foreign nations that interfered in the 2020 election want people to stop talking about it. Time to point to America as the key player. Just like China sneering that China virus (Corona) was created by the US.
They never changed the law to the extent that it allowed votes to be switched from Biden to Trump.
Or ballots to be filled out illegally.
yup.
a participant that’s who...
Election Fraud bump for later....
Yeah but there are always a few that get some courage or want to act impartial after the fact.
But you’re right. At least it’s being reported.
What scares me are the INSANE election laws dems want to pass while they have the majorities.
Online voting. Don’t even need SS number.
Universal mail in ballots.
16 year olds voting.
Unlimited harvesting.
Trump still has a lot of work to do.
He is the ONLY one who will say out loud what is going on and he needs to get his own organization going...so his message gets heard and can be found easily.
Poor guy. He’s still our biggest hope and he’s not even in office.
which may be why the cabal is driving Biden to strip the military of its oath-keeping, committed American patriots.
even as we speak... trying to identify and drive them out.
I suspect that this is also why the traitors want their CCP and globalist enclaves protected, like DC is with “no go” areas that are closed or cordoned off using razor wire to designate their “green” zone habitats.
Funny the traitors don’t realize they have voluntarily agreed to be surrounded by razor wire like criminals... the metaphor is lost on them because they are just too flipping stupid to figure it out.

I think the cabal know what is happening. Hence the desperate death throes. EO’s nobody is following etc. They know the troops are there to cage them they just don’t want you to know it.
Only the true braindead believe creepy Biden got 80 million votes and won.
Uh oh... Time is going to lose their twitter account!
That is truth, well said.
Military going full China vaccine push now in the United States.
Remember those pictures?
Aka, “The Resurrection of The Third Reich” here in the USA. Unbelievable!
Sounds to me like white hats are in control.
