HEY, GUESS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PLAN IS IN 2024?
IF TRUMP LOSES, THEY'RE GOING TO SCREAM "FRAUD" AND REFUSE TO CERTIFY DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS IN ANY SWING STATE THEY CONTROL, REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL VOTE TALLIES.
This is why they're purging everyone who stood up to the Big Lie.

And yet... I literally have not heard a single nationally prominent Democrat *talk* about it. Not once.
Now, do I spend all my time listening to them? No, I do not. I spend my time monitoring the people who are *eagerly awaiting* the 2024 events I just mentioned.

So maybe the policymakers ARE talking about this in public and I'm just unaware of it. If so, please let me know.
But if I'm right and they're NOT discussing it, *why the fuck not?* People need to know what's up. Warning them in advance is very effective.

"But Origins," you say, "how do we KNOW that warning them in advance is effective?"
I'm glad you asked! Trump spent months before the 2020 election screaming that the only way he could lose would be fraud. So when he lost, his base was already primed to look for fraud...

and was already mad enough to go "HEY FUCK THIS, THEY'RE TRYING TO STEAL THE COUNTRY," and act accordingly *regardless* of the actual facts.
In fact, the Trumpists pretty much skipped over ANY fact-finding and went straight to "IT'S HAPPENING JUST LIKE TRUMP SAID."

Guess what! You can harness that same sense of "OH MY GOD, WE WERE WARNED AND IT'S REALLY HAPPENING" if you *just start telling the fucking truth* -- you don't need a huge apparatus to invent and disseminate lies, like the GOP had.
Just tell the obvious truth.
Just tell the obvious truth.
And people will be READY when it happens. Ready to protest.
And we will NEED a huge, mobilized, furious crowd of people who are willing to shut down the country until Republicans blink.
It's worked before. In Weimar Germany, a general strike defeated a military coup.

The whole entire goddamn Soviet Bloc fell because of enormous mass protests -- in living memory!
In recent decades, dictator after dictator has been chased out by determined, steady mass protest.
Mass protests WORK. But they need a population that's enraged & *ready to do it*.

And you can make the population mad -- you can help *prepare* the population -- by clearly discussing the threat,
and telling people what it is years in advance,
and stressing it at every turn,
and then, when it happens, saying:
SEE? THEY'RE STEALING OUR DEMOCRACY. STOP THEM
