       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

       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.

       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:

       --- 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

       --- 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

       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
