They are not stupid. They are really good liars, and they never stop lying.
Oddly enough, I believe Pelosi is correct in predicting a "bloodbath" when Donald Trump is re-elected President.
The Democrats will make sure of it. They will bring out their Antifa and BLM rioters. They will release violent criminals by the hundreds of thousands. They will permit literally millions of illegal immigrants to arm themselves and plunder the residents of suburban communities in organized gang raiding parties.
A recalcitrant Federal bureaucracy will attempt to block any and all defensive countermeasures. President Trump will be impeached within hours of an inauguration.
They have done all of this before on lesser scales. This next time it will be amplified 1000-fold.
The "elections" are merely popular a game show nearing the end of its' season. What matters now is who can maintain control of the police and military forces. Just like in other third-world countries.
We only win, and in fact we only survive if Democrats are kicked to the curb and never permitted to control the government again. Up to that point, any talk of how "desperate" the Leftists have become is only wishful thinking and a pleasant distraction from what we will need to do.
Fine, it needs to happen, see my tagline.
