35. Unfortunately, their informationverse is totally over-the-top and leaves no margin for error

And assuming that there isn't some dirty trick in store for the American people come Election Day, when Trump and the GOP get their asses handed to them, they will react, not to the bloodbath, but to the disinformation with which they've been brainwashed. They will be certain that Democrats stole this election from them, and will act out in ways that Democrats would never even contemplate.

The sad thing is, they DID cheat and steal the election in 2016 and sometime within the next two years will be brought to justice for their multiple crimes. Because we now have a bifurcated information network, they will think that WE are the instigators and the fascists. This is by design. This is Russian propaganda having landed in the USA. Our battle is only beginning.
