43. I think we can 100% count on the GOP and the KGB to work together to steal 2020

They're practically just publicly announcing it at this point, that that is what they're going to do.

I don't know how anyone can think any of this is "business as usual" in any way, shape or form.

And yeah, I don't think it mattered who the candidate was in 2016, and won't matter if for whatever reason it's not the Walking Orange Ballsack of Doom, but that whakjob Pence instead, or whoever else really in 2020, they'll do whatever they can to cheat and steal the election regardless. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and election fraud are really the core of their strategy at this point--they've got their hard core of voters who will never abandon the party, but they're not exactly bringing in the younger generations by droves at this point to their side, so they're fucked if they don't cheat as much as they can, and pack the judiciary with right-wing ideologues who are sympathetic to their twisted agenda, so that's exactly what they're doing.
