11. No we don't know that Republicans are going to cheat if you mean changing votes

We know many Republicans are expecting to lose and so are retiring which historically has been a sign of significant losses for the party experiencing the retirements.

We know we keep winning off year and special elections and over performing when we don't. If they have a magic cheat button, are they forgetting to use it?

We know Trump is trying desperately to make voting harder because he expects to lose.

We know that Trump is deeply unpopular and we are heavily favored on the generic ballot polls.

Given all of that, and Trump's enormous ego, what's his incentive to change? He's not going to make people forget what he's doing because he's president, and so any "change" wouldn't be effective. His best tool is to double down because that's what he's done his entire life.

Stop thinking that we can only lose if they cheat. We are quite capable of losing elections, but we are also quite capable of winning them.
