    And they likely can’t backtrack because Peter Thiel probably made all kinds of financial arrangements with Trump in exchange for making his puppet the VP.

    The wannabe billionaire oligarchs went full mask off on destroying our democracy as soon as they thought Trump had it in the bag, and it’s time to reap the whirlwind.

      They aren’t about to back down now that Biden has stepped down. If anything, I expect them to get more desperate and dangerous as we get closer to the election. I totally expect significantly more misinformation, deep fakes, fake news websites, all designed to split democratic support for Kamala Harris, encourage people not to vote, and double down on Trump praise.

      Best thing anyone can do is tune it all out and just vote. Don’t get too caught up in the politics, because you know your mind is already made up. Do your civic duty, and don’t feed the trolls.

      I also fully expect them to say this election was stolen if they lose, and attempt to usurp power by any means. So just be ready for that too, it’ll be a lot different than last time since they aren’t in power.
