11. Unreasonable worry.

First, why would you believe they haven’t been trying to play dirty tricks AT EVERY RALLY SO FAR? Spoiler alert: you bet they have, and you bet they will again tonight AND AT EVERY RALLY UNTIL THE ELECTION. Whether it’s the standard of grabbing as many seats at a “ticketed” event as possible, or sending their flying monkeys to protest en masse outside, or something more modern like an AI deepfake afterward, it is being done. Campaigns are all aware of these possibilities and guard against them to the extent possible, usually pretty darned well.

So bank on it, that it’ll be business as usual on both sides, and most likely it will never have enough effect to attract notice, tonight or in the future.
