Occam's Razor test: Which is more likely?
1 - Dems stole the 2020 election even though there is no evidence except for the word of a man that Trump kidnapped from South America
2 - Trump is trying to steal the 2026 election because he destroyed the economy and is killing people in the streets

Chris Murphy: “He’s telling you he wants to federalize national elections — he's telling you that he thinks he won Minnesota & Georgia & California, that the 2020 elections were rigged—
He’s trying to rewrite history & trying to make sure that nobody other than him & his allies win in 2026 & 2028”

He has destroyed the country.
He has poisoned the world.
He knows he can't win.
So he's stealing the elections.

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "‘We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

It’s ok to commit crimes if you have enough money.
Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.
