I am hearing this circular argument all over the place

The thesis is that Trump will look like he has a landslide on election night via post-election polling but the mail in ballots will tilt back over to Biden and this could create a political/information vacuum

Surely the American election system accounts for this and you have a deadline of mail-in ballots to arrive and at X time on X days after the election the winner is declared

My initial thought process is that the Dems are flooding this propaganda as information warfare to prepare to essentially coup the government and throw Trump out even if he wins (which I think will be likely)

    Your last paragraph is utterly laughable. Democrats will never coup anything. Their concept of “resistance” so far has been to call the cops on Trump a few times, to literally no effect. Their current threat regarding the SCOTUS appointment is that they will slow it down.

    Democrats organizing a coup? I’m gonna be laughing over that one for a few days.

      The Democrats organised Russia-Gate in response to losing the election (a now absolutely discredited charade - remember when /r/TheMueller would be on the front page of reddit on the often?)

      They spent 4 years worsening relations with Russia and telling their followers that Trump was “owned” by Putin (cue unhinged Rachel Maddow video)

      I think you severely underestimate what the dems have been doing with the “deep-State” (sigh I hate using this term as in Marxist understanding it’s just the “state”)

        What did Russiagate amount to, again? I seem to recall the entire narrative about Russia culminated in a report which was filed away and never acted on. Oh I guess they impeached him, to no effect since the Senate is a GOP property.

        This is precisely what I am referring to re: “calling the cops on him a few times to no effect.”

        If you think creating a narrative about Russiagate is the same as organizing a coup, I just don’t know what to tell you.

          Christopher Steele (who leaked that Trump may have been peed on) turned out to be paid by Clintons to dig up dirt on Trump

          The report was full of shit and Mueller took a dressing down in public

          Mueller testifying was actually painful to watch as his lies were called out

          So whilst now it’s proven that the idea Russia tampered with the US elections is a joke (at least no actual plausible evidence has come out) it has been quite damaging for Trump.

          Honestly I believe the US is going to experience their CIA tactics coming home at this election - the bourgeois have decided that another 4 years of Trump is unacceptable

            All I’m seeing is that you admit they fumbled at creating a narrative people would listen to multiple times because they do a horrible job and are always caught (I agree with this!) and you still think they’re these puppetmasters of American democracy because Russiagate “did damage” (that you can’t quantify) to Trump.

            You want to know who else has friends in the CIA? The guy who appointed the current head of the CIA. That man? Donald Trump.

              Lol no they didnt fumble

              Maybe in the eyes of the politically tuned in

              Go ask your average Dem voter if they think Russia “interfered or hacked” the 2016 election

              They will tell you Trump is in Putins pocket
