CNN keeps reporting that claims of election fraud are "baseless." I had to look up the word to be sure I still know what it means.

Merriam Webster defines "baseless" as "having no basis in reason or fact"
Given that courts have not ruled on all of the MANY alleged election fraud allegations, I agree to not call them verified facts. But does that qualify as baseless? The definition includes "reason," not just fact.

Let's look at the reason.
Crime happens 100% of the time when you have extreme motivation matched with ample opportunity. We have learned in the past week there are LOTS of opportunities for cheating in our porous election system so long as you can control the witnessing process, which is the case.
No one questions that Democrats controlling local elections had EXTREME motivation to cheat on this particular election because they had been brainwashed to believe Trump is Orange Hitler.
Any decent respect to the power of reason can see that this combination of extreme motivation plus easy opportunity GUARANTEES massive fraud. I'd call that a strong base for concern, the opposite of baseless. Add hundreds of direct witnesses and anomalous data to the reason too.
When the fake news uses words such as baseless and widespread, it is propaganda, not information. Learn the difference.

Democrats are employing some excellent brainwashing technique to defend the election as fair. Here are some of their tricks.

1. "Refuses to concede" is making you think past the sale that Trump's legal challenges will fail. This is their main persuasion trick.

2. "Audit" is being used to make a simple recount of (alleged) fraudulent ballots seem as if that could potentially find all types of fraud, which a recount is not designed to do. When none is found (because they are not looking), they will declare it proof there was no fraud.
3. "No evidence" is being used to reframe "plenty of evidence but not yet proven in court."

The best brainwashing trick the Democrats are using on the public is the assertion that because we do not yet having court-confirmed proof of election fraud it means there was no fraud.
For a normal crime -- let's say a burglary or murder -- no evidence of a crime could reasonably be interpreted to mean no crime happened. But an election should be seen as a "situation." And this particular situation GUARANTEES fraud to some extent.
Fraud ALWAYS happens when you have this setup: 1) Lots to gain by cheating, 2) Cheating is feasible, and 3) Lots of people involved (so you know some crooks are in the mix). That describes our election system.

Trump’s “leave it all on the field, happy warrior” campaign strategy for the closing week is brilliant. We are wired to appreciate conspicuous effort, and we overweight whatever is happening recently.
He sponges up the news cycles, creates massive contrast to barely sentient Biden, and...
Trump’s extreme workload to entertain his supporters triggers the base to give back. Humans are wired for reciprocity. Trump works hard, so the least you can do is return the favor and vote.

Question for Democrats: If you are 100% certain Trump is OBVIOUSLY a racist, how do you explain all the Black people who DON'T see it? Can there be that many Black people who don't recognize OBVIOUS racism?
The alternative hypothesis is that the media is capable of convincing most (but not all) of the public of any-damned-thing, and the left-leaning brainwashers decided to tell the public Trump is a racist. But what about all of the examples that prove their case, you ask?
Democrats don't have access to this information because the news is so siloed. But Republicans generally know the racism examples are fake news. The Fine People Hoax is the prime example. Half the country actually believes Trump called neo-Nazis "fine people." He did not.

I’m working on some persuasion ideas for avoiding a civil war. Suggestions welcome.
We don’t have any good common enemies to divert our attention. Coronavirus didn’t bring us together. Our national adversaries might pester us with fake ads, but we won’t notice them in the sea of domestic bullshit.
Maybe on Election Day Trump can announce he is releasing the UFO secrets the government has been hiding. But that would be too obvious.

If you think you can tell which leaders did the best job with coronavirus, you are not trained to compare things rationally. I’ll give you a few reasons why, but there are dozens...
Trump used the “excuse” of the coronavirus to claw back manufacturing from China. Not every leader would have made that play. How many lives does an improved economy save in the long term? No one knows.
And how many decisions did Trump make that DISAGREED with the experts? I’m not aware of any.
