The issue with Powell was never that fraud didn't occur. Fraud is real. The issue was that Powell's claims are so extraordinary that they would threaten to discredit the case for real fraud if they turned out to be untrue and this ended up a grift 1/
Fraud happened. There is evidence of fraud happening across the country that should be the focus. But by making Powell the center of it all, the case for fraud began to hang on her claims primarily. Then "belief" in Powell became a kind of purity test for everyone 2/
So this is not to say there is some truth to Powell's basic claims, or that fraud did not happen, but that the alarm was always about the case for fraud being entirely associated with one woman's hitherto unproven claims 3/

Me, in my office mapping the connections between Jared Kushner, Koch Industries, and George Soros
The trail is mostly in policies pushed by Kushner and his associates, which I've written about in a bunch of different articles, but now I need to put them all in one piece. It sounds crazy but once you realize Kushner is basically just a Democrat it makes sense
Starting point: The genesis of the Office of American Innovation and how it became a kind of policy shop for the Koch network via Brooke Rollins: amgreatness.com/2020/06/09/as-…

This was a rhetorical question. But the reaction from people, aggressively attacking Tucker either because they believe he said this seriously or are angry he said it sarcastically at all, is an indicator that we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater 1/
Increasingly anyone who says anything that merely smells wrong to the people only talking about fraud right now is subject to get nuked. How long before this starts to backfire? 2/
Every pundit who is otherwise allied, all the data that is otherwise useful, is getting burned by the people for whom fraud is the only acceptable and appropriate issue to discuss. Will this increase or shrink the support base in the long-term? 3/

Strangest thing I've seen since I wrote an article about how Trump lost *some* white working-class support is a vehement denial that this was possible. The irony of this argument is that it would prove Jared Kushner et al correct: WWC is naïve and will take any abuse 1/
That was the prevailing attitude within the admin among senior advisors. White people are trapped, they are dumb, they have no choice but to vote GOP, and they will take any abuse. So rather than considering why any number of WWC voters may have defected... 2/
...we are now vehemently denying that this is at all possible. Worse, the very idea that maybe some WWC people in the Rust Belt may have stayed home or flipped for Biden after being neglected for four years angers people to the point where they don't want to hear about it 3/

McCarthy is proving me right: the "multiracial, multiethnic GOP" meme is literally just an op for spineless people like McCarthy to continue raking in donations and votes and they will use it to justify going soft on immigration and not standing up to BLM. The GOP is worthless.
How funny that i just made this thread too
I heard McCarthy give a "speech" ahead of midterms and he used this "diversity is our strength" line. The GOP has been looking for a way to retcon its weakness as strength and now they have one, or so they hope

I wrote an article about how the GOP is eager to leave behind the white working-class while playing the Democratic Party's diversity game. I did an interview with Steve Bannon today about it, I'm going to talk a little about it on OANN tonight... 1/ amgreatness.com/2020/11/13/for…
...and I've got a few more interviews about this lined up. Which tells me people are curious about this and believe that it is both true and dishonorable that the GOP is attempting to become Democrat-lite and squander the realignment 2/
I think there is overlap between this issue and the issue of electoral fraud: a party that is this pusillanimous, this tone-deaf, this unserious, this creatively bankrupt is naturally going to be inept at and unprepared for dealing with voter fraud 3/
