5. Levin is late to the party

This accusation has been swirling around for at least 10 days. Anything to keep the rage-fest going, anything to delegitimize the electoral process.

I suspect this had something to do with the early voting %'s that started slow for Dems (or so it was reported) to spiking to a 55%-30% advantage as of yesterday. In any case, this 'they're stealing the election' is now, I fear, the new normal.

It works regardless of the outcome.

If Republicans win, they'll pat themselves on the back and talk about their 'heroic,' on-going efforts to keep elections clean. If they lose, they will insist the evidence of fraud and vote stealing were there from the start. Because from their perspective and endless propaganda, they are the majority. Everywhere.

Wrecking democracy is a feature, not a bug in this strategy.
