NOT REPOSTING OLD CONTENT

My usual warning: do not become overly optimistic to the extent
of relaxing on campaigning to maximize Blue turnout, or on
opposing voter suppression.

I have seen rightists such as Spencer (Gentile) express how
Trump is merely "dogwhistling" and not actually delivering on
"pro-White" policies. In other words, Trump is not rightist
enough for him, which is why he is discouraging his fellow WNs
from voting for Trump. This is good for us as it will reduce red
turnout.

This is essentially my view on the matter. Trump gives false
leftists something to be distracted by, and because rightists
know that Trump is controlled opposition who won't enact their
will, it further accelerates things by subjecting rightists to a
feeling of helplessness. Basically egging rightists on to take
real action

> President Donald Trump is scheming to retain power in the
event of an electoral loss in November, according to a former
Senator from Colorado.
>
> Tim Wirth published an op-ed in Newsweek where he lays out his
theory, apparently inspired in-part by HBO's adaptation of the
Philip Roth novel The Plot Against America.
>
> The former Democratic senator begins with an allegation that
Mr Trump will attempt to retain power through voter suppression.
Mr Wirth alleges there is a strategy to suppress voter turnout
by purging voters - especially inner-city voters - from
registration rolls and to suppress mail-in voting. He also
believes physical polling locations will be limited, especially
in urban areas, in an effort to create long lines on Election
Day and discourage voting.
>
> Mr Wirth's allegations that there has been an effort in
Republican-led states to remove people from the voter-roll is
accurate.
>
> According to data compiled by Mother Jones, between 2016 and
2018, more than 17 million names have been removed from the
voter rolls. While names are removed from voter rolls every year
due to deaths or citizens leaving the state, the number of
voters removed from the rolls since 2016 has significantly
increased.
>
> Between 2016 and 2018, states on average removed 7.6 per cent
of their voters from the rolls. However, the purge in some
states went much further.
>
> Indiana purged the greatest number of voters, removing 22.3
per cent of the state's voters from its rolls. Both Virginia and
Wisconsin removed 14 per cent, and Maine, Oklahoma and
Massachusetts removed between 11 and 12.1 per cent.
>
> Mr Wirth's theory about Mr Trump trying to retain power
following the 2020 US election doesn't end at the ballot box,
however. He believes that - should the president lose - he will
claim the vote was rigged and rely on a complicated gambit
involving emergency powers and the compliance of Republican
legislators to stay in the White House.
>
> According to Mr Wirth, should Mr Trump lose in a scenario
where challenger Joe Biden beats him by "decent but not
overwhelming" margins in the swing states of Arizona, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Pennsylvania, Mr Trump will declare that the vote
was rigged.
>
> He will supposedly blame mail-in ballots and Chinese election
interference for the loss and invoke emergency powers to launch
a Justice Department investigation into alleged "election
hacking" in the swing states.
>
> From there, Mr Wirth claims Mr Trump will stall until 14
December, which is the date when states must appoint their US
Electoral College electors. Because the swing states are each
controlled by Republicans, Mr Wirth believes the state
legislatures will refuse to certify their electors until the
election hacking investigation is finished.
>
> He then claims the Democrats will challenge the investigation
and the challenge to the election, which will eventually be
taken to the US Supreme Court. Mr Wirth believes the Supreme
Court will rule against the Republicans, but will concede that
Mr Trump's emergency powers authorise him to continue his
investigation. The Supreme Court will also maintain that should
the swing states not be able to certify their selectors by 14
December - for any reason - then the Electoral College will have
to meet and vote for the president without the swing states
included.
>
> Under Mr Wirth's theory, the Electoral College will then meet
without the swing states under investigation, and neither
candidate will receive enough votes to secure the presidency.
According to Mr Wirth, the contested election would then move to
the House of Representatives, where each delegation gets to cast
one vote towards the presidency.
>
> Since there are more Republican controlled House delegations
than Democratic controlled delegations - 26 Republican to 23
Democrats - the Republicans will be the victors of the vote and
Mr Trump will remain in office.

More of the same warning:
HTML https://us.yahoo.com/huffpost/max-boot-trump-electoral-crisis-091029786.html
--- Quote ---
> Washington Post columnist Max Boot said President Donald Trump
could try to create a chaotic situation after the election to
undermine the results and ultimately throw the decision to the
Supreme Court. Once there, a conservative majority could give
him the win.
>
> In his latest column Boot wrote that he took part in a “war
game” scenario in which Biden had narrowly won the Electoral
College, 278-260. He was part of the hypothetical Trump team for
the scenario “and, needless to say, we did not concede defeat.
Instead, we went to work, ruthlessly and unscrupulously,
utilizing every ounce of power at our disposal, to secure the 10
electoral college votes to swing the election.”
>
> In the scenario, the GOP filed suit to block the certification
of results in key states, bombarded the airwaves with claims of
electoral fraud and even had Attorney General Bill Barr accuse
China and Antifa of trying to steal the election.
>
> Boot’s team focused on Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania,
three states expected which Trump won in 2016; while all three
have Democratic governors, they also have GOP-controlled
legislatures.
>
> “Normally, the governor certifies the election results,” Boot
wrote. “But there is nothing to prevent the legislature from
certifying a different election outcome.”
>
> The team’s goal, he said, was to send the election to the
Republican-controlled Supreme Court.
>
> “Unless Biden wins by an Electoral College margin that no one
can credibly dispute, our democracy may be imperiled as never
before,” Boot wrote. “We had better start thinking now about how
we would handle such an electoral crisis.”

Why is Duke, who claims to oppose Israel, endorsing the most
pro-Israel president in US history? Answer: because when it
comes down to business, Duke being a tribalist will always
choose what is good for his own tribe over what is bad for the
enemy. Exactly as I predicted. Rightists cannot be serious
anti-Zionists.

Several rightists (out of sheer embarrassment), are jumping ship
now that Trump has been exposed as a Zionist.

Chris Hayes: GOP Is Becoming A Pro-Virus Party Before Our Eyes
--- Quote ---
> Chris Hayes on GOP: “This party is intellectually bankrupt,
and entirely unable to meet the moment. It is so corroded ...
that it will revolt against one of its own members when they do
something right to fight the plague to save lives. It’s becoming
a pro-COVID party before our eyes.”

As I keep saying, victory is nowhere near a sure thing:
HTML https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/11/trump-voter-registration-355152
--- Quote ---
> Late last month, the Democratic data firm TargetSmart found
that while new voter registrations had plummeted amid the
coronavirus pandemic, those who were registering in competitive
states tended to be whiter, older and less Democratic than
before.
> ...
> Before the coronavirus, said Tori Taylor, co-executive
director of the grassroots Democratic group Swing Left, “we were
seeing spikes in voter registration that really pointed to a
strong spring and summer.”
>
> But by March, she said, “We really felt the decline across the
country.”
> ...
> Republicans point to their improved standing in registration
compared to 2016 in Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania —
all states Trump won that year despite Democrats holding a wider
registration advantage than they do now. And Trump still has a
financial and organizational advantage over Biden that could
help with a registration sprint in the fall.

We cannot afford to relax. Every bit of campaigning work could
end up being the difference between victory and defeat. Everyone
has to do their part.
