The Democrats are preparing the chaos: the dangerous connections with Antifa and BLM and the risk of fraud

The overturning of the narrative: the media attribute tyrannical and coup d'état ambitions to Trump, while the other side is practicing street squad violence and preparing to contest, or steal, the elections … Vote by mail and ballot harvesting have tried more and more times of being vulnerable to errors and fraud. And all the radical movements, from Antifa to Black Lives Matter, born or raised in the shadow of the anti-Trump "Resistance", are linked to the Democrats and even "institutionalized"

If Hollywood was still what it was in its golden years, the story of the 2020 presidential election would one day become a huge blockbuster. The elements are all there. Just turn to American media and social media to receive a cold shower of conflicting emotions: passion, hope, anticipation, suspense.

For months now, polls have been telling us that Trump will lose, but as with any self-respecting thriller, polls have reconnected over the past week in key states, creating renewed panic among Biden supporters. Trump supporters for their part remain hopeful. They indicate the crowds that Trump is capable of gathering at his rallies and the many anecdotes about friends, relatives and acquaintances who will vote for Trump, but they are afraid to say it publicly as a clue that the polls are either blatantly wrong, or blatantly false. It's 2020, anything can happen …

This year, American politics, citing Covid as a pretext, has also done everything to make sure that the already messed up electoral system leaves even more doubts about the possibility of errors and fraud. The lack of identity cards at the polling stations and the curious practice of ballot harvesting , which allows political operators to collect ballot papers directly at the voters' homes, were not enough, creating strange situations for which, days after the election, they continue to pop up chests full of votes. This year, mail-in voting was added, which allows states to send ballots en masse to people's homes, which they then vote and send them back by post, with only a counter-proof signature.

All of these systems have proven time and again to be vulnerable to errors and fraud. Especially with mail-in voting , the stories of people who receive ballot papers at home in the name of dead people, who no longer live or have never lived there, multiply. In Atlanta, a ballot paper in the name of a dead cat was delivered to the home of the former owners. In New Jersey, just a few months ago, an entire special election had to be canceled due to mail-in voting . In recent months, the conservative investigative journalism organization Project Veritas has uncovered numerous cases of electoral fraud also carried out with ballot harvesting .

In addition, states and supreme courts have made the situation even more precarious by further watering down the rules. For example, by not requiring verification by signature, or by ruling that votes received up to nine days after the election are accepted (North Carolina).

Both sides are preparing for a long legal battle. Biden's campaign, already months ago, curiously even before the mass mail-in ballot system was finalized, hired a team of over 600 lawyers specializing in electoral disputes. Trump, for his part, has repeatedly asserted that he will not concede victory on election night if the result is in doubt.

This has amplified claims in the media and the Democratic Party that Trump is a tyrant preparing to stay in power by force. But Trump supporters respond that these allegations are actually preparing the ground for Biden's refusal to concede victory to Trump.

The timeline actually coincides with the second possibility more than with the first. The first articles about Trump refusing to leave the White House and being forcibly taken away by the military, a kind of Resistance porn-political fantasy, are years old. Hillary Clinton, already in August, before the mail-in ballots system was finalized, had warned that Biden should not concede the victory "under any circumstances" .

For months the Democratic Party has been conducting wargames in which Trump refuses to grant victory and must be removed, even threatening the secession of the blue states if necessary. Many of the "Trumpists" have pointed out that among the most assiduous supporters of these scenarios are the most tireless fans of the so-called "color revolutions" abroad, which, as a textbook, start from a doubtful or disputed electoral result, and are implemented by mobilizing the streets. After all, it was the Democrats who insisted on all the innovative new voting systems …

And then there is the uninterrupted sequence of demonstrations and violence in recent months, unleashed in the name of the protest against police brutality, but which from the beginning have taken on a broader character, decidedly reminiscent of a broad cultural and political revolution. spectrum. These are coincidences that generate speculation and alarm.

Part of the narrative that Trump is a dictator in a nutshell hinges on the vulgate that he has street militias ready to intervene to keep him in power. Over the past few months, Joe Biden's campaign, the Democrats, and the liberal press have alternated in arguing that riots like those in Portland and Kenosha are "mostly peaceful" and, if there is violence, it is the work of "right wing militias. " . Organizations such as the Boogaloo Boys , the Proud Boys , and pick-up convoys waving pro-Trump flags have been singled out in this role. But the Boogaloo Boys are typically anarcho / libertarians who have frequently joined BLM in protests, the Proud Boys are something more like a college fraternity, and the flag- banner pickup convoys are organized ad hoc.

While it is true that occasional clashes between protesters and questionable incidents have occurred, they pale in comparison to the estimated billion dollars in damage done by organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter .

Black Lives Matter is not a civil rights organization. It is an openly Marxist organization with an all-encompassing and radical platform. It is not made up of a few volunteers who donate their free time, but of trained professional activists, most of whom (about 75 percent) are not even African Americans. Their events are not spontaneous, but fully organized at the table.

Their funding is millionaire, and it certainly does not come from African Americans from the Inner Cities who broke the pig. BLM's main funders are organizations such as the Open Society and the Ford Foundation . Even small private donations have nothing bipartisan about. Going to the BLM website and clicking on the "donate" button, you are taken straight to Act Blue . A Democratic Party infrastructure.

Antifa has also revealed some connections with the donkey party in recent months. There have been cases of Antifa arrested in violent protests who were local democratic politicians. The Bail Project , a fund intended to bail arrested protesters that has often freed Antifa members, receives donations not only from the usual coterie of liberal billionaires and movie stars, but also from members of the Biden Campaign. Kamala Harris and Chelsea Clinton have both solicited donations.

A Bail Project employee was then caught using the donated funds to rent and drive a van full of riot gear (shields, helmets, blunt instruments) to Louisville, which was then distributed to the Antifa already there. Sara Iannarone, the current Democratic candidate leading the Portland municipal elections, who received the endorsement of Bernie Sanders, is a declared Antifa .

When Black Lives Matter occupies a public area in an American city, it is the left-wing mayor who gives him all the permits. When BLM commits an act of vandalism or violence, the media comes to the rescue by minimizing, and often by lying. And if the protesters are arrested, complacent prosecutors release them with, or more often without, a stick on the fingers. When someone reacts, opposes, defends himself, or even attacks protesters, the prosecutors themselves strike him with all the force of the law.

All of these "street" movements, from Black Lives Matter to the Women's March , and on the edge of the Antifa spectrum, seem to be institutionalized. And all these organizations were born or raised in the shadow of the "Resistance" launched in the aftermath of Trump's victory, and represent its culmination.

All of this leaves the feeling among Trump supporters that a reversal of the narratives is taking place. That the official narrative attributes tyrannical and coup d'état ambitions to its side, while the other side is practicing street squad violence and preparing to contest, or steal, the elections.
