8. They have to cheat because the majority of Americans support progressive ideas, human rights,

clean air and water, gun laws, and the common good but republicans do not and “they” own
much of the media but still push the lie about the liberal media being a problem.

Republicans haven’t won a national election fairly since 1958 or have been the legacy of their
cheating. Republicans are still living off Nixon’s Southern Strategy because fear of “the coloreds”
along sexism, anti intellectualism, Christo Fascism, and multi generational stupidity that has been
ingrained by families and social contacts. 30% + of Americans* fall into that group and TPTB,
the GOP, and others such as the Russians, Musk, Thiel, do what they do to keep the republicans in
power to make up the difference. The electoral college, court packers such as the federalist
society, and the strength of the fossil fuel industries work 24/7 to keep the minority in charge of
the majority.

I might be wrong but “the bad guys” are pushing as hard as they can for a totally fascist state
right now and Trump is their useful idiot.

* in some areas such as Arkansas Buffalo River region,** farming and rural communities, Appalachia,
“Christian areas” and really rich communities the % of people who happily vote republican is much
higher.

** the Buffalo River is a beautiful float but the locals are still fighting the civil war.

Sorry to babble.
