TIME Claims a Secret Cabal Manipulated the 2020 Election to Stop Trump, and People Have Questions

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.

Bush League Republicans conspired with Democrats to cheat President Trump out of office with the help of the Ministry of Propaganda and the Chamber of Cheap Labor, they were absolutely not going to let US keep our country.
They have spent 30 years turning the USA into North Mexico and they weren’t about to let all that hard work be reversed by Bad Orange Man.

“They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding.”

They should rewrite this to read:
They got states to illegally change voting systems and laws by bypassing State Law makers, helping secure hundreds of millions in public.

What happens when the media, finally except the Trump won the election? Will they ask Biden to resign and let trump be sworn in? I think this is going to be the big upcoming challenge as people come to except that the election was corrupt, and that we actually have a truly illegitimate president. In my opinion, this is only gonna be a matter of time, not a matter of if.

What is astounding about this article is that they come right out and admit they stole the election. They are bragging about it.

History has a way of catching up to such people. Don’t know if it’s today, don’t know if it’s tomorrow. But there is a reckoning with all of them.

It’s not secret, it was just not investigated.

But by the way they wrote the article, they wanted to leave the impression that they were heroically conspiring to prevent DJT from stealing the election, as if he could.

So this “cabal” got Republican led legislatures to change laws and people are blaming lobbyists (Which this “cabal” are anyway) instead of the Republican leadership?

The majority leaders of the legislatures should of told the "cabal" to "take a hike".

And Gateway Pundit just released video from the TCF Center. Van dropping off LOTS of boxes of ballots at around 3:30am...and again at around 4:30am. But, you know, like State Farm Arena, nothing to see here. All boxes were supposed to arrive by 8pm but what is a law when a good STEAL is in progress.
