43. "MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS . . ."

". . . WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!"

This is what the Mango Menace tweeted today. In full:

"RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!"

Since Trump is, without a doubt, the poster child of psychological projection, and fence-post stupid to boot (per Stephen King's excellent summary of Trump), then he has just TOLD us one strategy that will almost certainly be used by the Trump campaign, by Trump cult followers, by Vladimir Putin, and by any countries that Trump has successfully "pulled a Ukraine" on (pressured them to help him win in 2020). Yes, there WILL be fraudulent ballots flooding this year's elections—courtesy of Trump et al.

Even if the fraudulent ballots are detected and not counted in favor of any candidate, they will still cause disruption and allow to Trump to bray that the election was rigged. In fact, for that reason alone, they will want the fake ballots to be discovered.

This is very similar to what Trump's supporters did during the Iowa primary by calling in and jamming the Democratic Party phone lines on election night. Chaos, disruption, uncertainty, . . . !

The question now is how do we react? I think the candidates need to start their own counter-propoganda strategy NOW and run ads on TV and online warning that Trump and Russia and Trump's supporters will be printing counterfeit ballots. We need to call them on it before they do their first fake ballot dump.

Fight back NOW, Dems, against the fraudulent "voter fraud" that has already begun to be unleashed against us!
