2. The plan always begins with an assertion that is an outright lie.

First, prove that there are states where counting votes is corrupt. I'm sure there are mistakes made in all states, but Trump's assertion that blue states are cheating is an outright lie.

Second, when he makes these false assertions, the media goes crazy. They are ignorant and unaware that just because he pops off like this, doesn't mean he has the power or ability to actually do it. This isn't something he can executive order. It would require the approval of two thirds of Congress to change the constitution. He'll never get that. If he tried by force, it would trigger opposition that he wouldn't be able to overcome.

But in the for profit media, they're going to keep this going like they are his third term talk. That's not happening either.
