Ok here's a crazy possibility that occurred to me. Suppose DNC and RNC deep insiders collude. They want a centrist neoliberal/neocon/establishment coalition to run things, cheap labor, free trade, sustainable development goals, and no opposition. None of them like Trump or Bernie.

Now the problem they've got is that the electorate basically despises neoliberals and neocons. The Democrats had to rig the primaries to stop Bernie and the RNC failed to do so to stop Trump.

So what they need is a system that will give the establishment candidate an assist over any troublesome outsider on election day. This time it rigged for Biden and against Trump but you could equally well imagine it rigging for a Bush or a Romney and against Bernie.

So what they do is set up a system that allows vote weighting, ie Dominion. They look at the polls and set the weights this time so that Biden would win but it turns out on election day that the polls were just comforting lies the establishment told itself so they ballot stuff.

Now at this point, you can see why anyone sufficiently high up in the Republican establishment came out immediately in favor of the result, despite it being blatantly bogus and not in favor of their party.

What made me think of it was an interesting interview Joel Kotkin did where he said that Jeff Bezos asked why the hell people were supporting either Trump or Bernie and his answer was 'Look in the mirror, Jeff'.

tl;dr - maybe support for Dominion is bipartisan inside the establishment because they know it will only be used against people outside the establishment who'd otherwise win.

Also, this makes me think AA is on to something when he says that Trump supporters need to reach out to Bernie supporters to build an anti-establishment coalition between both left and right populists.

Building off of this, it could be seen that the payoff to allow the likes of Graham and McConnel to overcome the literally $100s of millions of dollars thrown against them is precisely because those millions are the payoffs for all the "consultants" and "media ad buys". I've always found that rather curious but it could reasonably be assumed that high profile Republican senators stay in place via being lightning rods of payouts for Democrat apparatchiks.
 
Lol Trump's dumb bimbo Fox commentator 'lawyer' Jenna Ellis was fired within a half year of her hiring from her first job at a DA's office for failing to protect the rights of crime victims.
Another record says Ellis, who held the title deputy district attorney at the Weld County District Attorney’s Office, was fired for “unsatisfactory performance.”

“The employer noted some cases were being processed that did not adhere to the Victim Rights Act,” the state labor department document says. “… There is the appearance in case documentation the claimant did not follow proper protocol for some of the cases she handled.”

The Victims Rights Act is a state law that ensures victims are involved in and informed of the case against their assailant. There’s also a federal version that offers similar assurances and protections.

The documents, obtained through an open records request, appear to contradict what Ellis told The Wall Street Journal about her termination.

The newspaper reported that Ellis said she was fired because “she refused to bring a case to trial that she believed was an unethical prosecution.” The district attorney’s office told the Journal that Ellis handled traffic cases and other misdemeanors.

I mean, its certainly more controversial than 1861, so it certainly has the potential.
On the other hand, I doubt it unless you mean "break" as in "permanently demoralize".

Uh, yeah, Biden's clear victory in a two horse race was CLEARLY more controversial than the 1860 election.

zeitgeist, memeplex, established world view,
Weltanschauung.
You have to erase the current concept set before you can build any alliance against the plutocrats.

As long people see them selves as black, white, left, right you cant fight back and expect to win.

You would have to disintegrate all social constructs to "win".

3 thousand dollars was all it took. It's amazing how cheap it is to buy off american politicians who regularly control millions of dollars.

They control millions but they only get paid something like $250,000 a year. Plenty of opportunities for bribery

I understand the frustration, but preserving the 1st amendment right of religious freedom and assembly even in the face of "public emergencies" has more long term consequences than an immediate change in the head of state. Particularly since our most likely future head of state is going to try pull more shit like this.

-1 in the House for the GOP. This one is from Michigan, which explains a few things. Reason cited is your bog standard "How dare he not lose with dignity?!" crap.

You didn't think the Uniparty would let the DNC lose control of the house, did you?

The Representative in question did not run for re-election this term, and his replacement is another Republican, Lisa McClain. He will be leaving office January 3rd, and McClain will be the one voting in the contingent election, if things actually go that far.
Earlier this year, Rep. Mitchell was one of many people filing lawsuits against Governor Whitmer's response to corona. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/wuhan-coronavirus-megathread.65421/post-6411315

People who aren't used to bribing people I think underestimate how little people can be bought off for. This isn't the movies where it's like a hundred thousand dollars. I had a buddy here in NYC who did mortgages. He used to tell me that it only cost him like $250 to buy off official NYC building inspectors all the time. That's all it took to get them to rubber stamp building plans and "forget" about violations when getting houses appraised or refinanced.

He doesn't talk about the GOP sending their own electors in the contested states, oddly enough. The people in the comments on that video are raking Styx over the coals for that.

Even Styx isn't retarded enough to be using the fake elector cope? Wow, that really says something
