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.
This is what’s known as a modified limited hangout...
Hopefully it means that Deep State is worried something is about to hit the fan.
Bigly.
I guess the post of the Time piece after you posted blows your assertion out of the water! Clearly the Time piece is applauding the interference done by the cabal.
BTW: “Welcome” to FR. Perhaps your future posts won’t be so misleading.
I knew Rove was a POS, but what man turns a blind eye to pedophilia?
A pedophile?
It’s chilling how the article claims that all of these back-door shenanigans - illegal changes to voting laws, millions sent to prop-up the vote in blue (and only blue) counties, media manipulation, censorship, etc. - were needed in order to “save democracy.”
OANN is covering MIKE LINDELL now....
The TIMES claims......
A totally misleading headline.
It should be “The TIMES brags......”
Only a mindless creep would brag that they stole an election.
I always that came from Hollywood which actually has half an industry like that but point taken
or someone who knows everyone high up in DC has skeletons?
“In a way, Trump was right.”
In a way? In what way was he NOT right? I knew this election was fake as soon as the polls closed in the East and Fox news refused to call North Carolina for Trump. The polls prior to the election were obviously faked and Hillary Clinton might as well have announced the intention to steal the election when she called on Biden to refuse to concede. No sane person could believe we had a legitimate election.

OAN has been suspended on Twitter for 11hrs.

Mike Lindell is “releasing” something today ?
What, a new line of Giza Dream Sheets ?
(full disclosure — I have a MyPillow and love it !)
Russians? Ha! They’ve got nothing on US.
Our Amerikan soviets here today are MUCH better communists than those guys could ever hope to be.
Our USSA soviet style GovCo bench is wide and deep, with a roster full of names like Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Romney(!), etc., etc., plus their corporate sponsors and foreign backers here and around the world!
And even then, and while being up to his ass in alligators and swamp rats, Donald J. Trump and his deplorables still kicked their butts on Election Day!
Game (isn’t) Over (yet)!
I don’t know what is more disturbing, that the media and corporate interests are so bold as to actually brag about stealing the election -or- that they think they did it for some noble purpose to “save” the country.
bttt
Baloney. This is a total in-you-face victory lap.
TIME is pretty much making the same point that Trump was making; that the election was rigged against him. Maybe now that Joe Biden is safely sitting in the White House they feel free to gloat about how the election was fixed. Either that, or they’re too partisan and deluded to understand that this article basically concedes that Biden was NOT elected from a fair and free election.
