Pretty sure they're just outing the shit they're going to try that they've figured out won't work again.

Idiots.

Even if true, it'd be an official act.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

I'm not sure if that's funny or incredibly sad. I think it's both. It's definitely confusing

... subject to adjudication by the totally impartial and unbiased SCOTUS.

Pro. Jection.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

I like how they’re “not affiliated with Trump” and also exclusively targeting Biden, and additionally that a ton of former Trump staffers work at said group now

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

They are not legally affiliated with Trump. Ideologically and financially there is no distinction..

[-] Foni@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago

Well, for them, organizing clean and fair elections is not acceptable, not giving fascists due advantages is electoral interference

Stories like this make me somewhat hopeful. If the MAGA crowd were sure they were going to win, they wouldn't be laying the groundwork for bullshit like this again.

[-] JayTreeman@fedia.io 4 points 5 months ago

If they win it was legit. If not there's interference. Plan b isn't do nothing and hope for the best

Not really, it's just part of the modern alt-moron* playbook. They put the narrative out there and win either way. If they win, they beat the narrative by putting the info out there and tHe PaTrIoTs prevented disaster. If they lose, they called it months ago.

Ales Jones has been using this exact MO for decades, and the modern republican party has been going down the pathway the last 8-10 years.

Honestly my expectation is election interference from everyone in & outside the US certainly including our two major parties and our foreign adversaries and allies. We do it to them, turnabout is fair play!

Not clicking through to hear a report about bullshit. What is wrong with everyone?
