18. Planning Media Blitz of Deep Fakes

They will probably be planning their counter media narratives to "flood the zone" with AI generated memes about opposition candidates and ballot measures. ICE has already bragged that "the memes will continue." So they are quite aware of the importance of spreading such technologically assisted lies to shape public opinion to try to skew the midterm elections in their favor. Plus they probably do have plans to challenge election results in districts with MAGA judges. They are desperate and there is nothing they won't do to mess with the midterms. And it has been said before that Trump may even sic ICE goons on polls under the pretext of election security saying they suspect illegal aliens are voting.
