9. Well, I don't think it's Trump's idea

I think Stephen Miller is the one giving the evil advice.

And whether or not Trump likes it, what I posted here is the truth. The rest of my theory is that the fear translates into votes. You see, the secret ballot is our not-so-secret weapon. You can see it in the odd elections and the specials.

I don't think they can fix the elections. They are run locally and those people have not been corrupted. I am confident this thing will blow over. First in the mid-terms and then in 2028.

But, in the meantime, people are afraid to speak up. This post notwithstanding, the reaction of the press, the colleges and the legal profession encourages Trump more than any obscure post on DU.
