I swear this is part of a wider ongoing experiment. "What's the most comically ridiculous, most bullshit conspiracy we can come up with that the maga cult will believe".

Whoever is behind it: please stop. We've known for a long time now that there's is no bottom to that well.

Good. Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn't have to keep saying this). If we can convince them to start spreading the rumor about bigfoot in Ohio to the point that Vance and/or Trump starts talking about it, plenty of people leaning right will say, "this dude is nuts. No way am I voting for him." They might not vote for Harris, but they also might not vote at all.

Trump needs a lot more than the MAGA cult to win an election (I wish I didn't have to keep saying this).

But he doesn't in order to seize power undemocratically, which is his real game plan here. Remember, the NAZIs never had more than 30-something percent support in 1930s Germany, either.

Okay, but that's a totally different issue from what we're discussing.

Also, he doesn't have the concentration of people to do it. January 6th happened because he was able to concentrate people in D.C. and was president at the time.

No it's not....if you think for a second that's not the end game you're going to be very disappointed when they steal the election

Whether or not it is the end game, that is a different issue from what I am discussing.

We're YOU in DC on January 6th? Cause I was for work and I've seen it with my own eyes

That is also not what I am discussing. I understand that you want to change the subject, but that does not work with me.
