Another doomer thought occurred to me.
There's been a lot of speculation here as to why, if the Democrats were going to rig the Presidential election, why they didn't do a better job rigging the down-ballot votes too.
Most people have concluded 'LOL THEY ARE DUMB'. And there may be an element of truth to this. However, I'm guessing as dumb as the minimum wage lackeys faking and miscounting ballots are the people nearer the top are, unfortunately, very smart indeed. If you're manufacturing ballots it's easier to make them vote straight D than only vote for POTUS and abstain on the rest. So someone must have told them to do that.
So why? I think it's because they know that if the Republican Party goes to court it will win because of the Republican majority on the SCOTUS. So they needed to stop that. One very obvious way is to only rig the Presidency this time around. They'll tell the Republicans in the House and Senate and in the state legislatures 'Look take the L on this because you hate Trump as much as we do and then things will go back to normal next time'.
Of course, those Republicans would be extremely foolish to accept this because it's obvious the next few elections will apply the same methodology to steal the House, Congress, and state legislatures. And even though the Republican party is not ruthless enough to use its control of state legislatures to override the vote and send its lackeys to the electoral college, there's no guarantee the Democrats will feel the same way. And who would call them out? Not the Republicans, they'll be banned for spreading 'election misinformation' by Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. And not the old media who'll say there was no Republican popular vote win, it's just a conspiracy theory. The state legislature is just stopping Republican vote fraud.
At that point, the Republicans never get the Presidency because the Democrats have a lock on the state legislatures and, thus, electoral college appointments.
If you're a Republican and you're being offered some sort of deal to keep quiet you need to ask yourself who knows about that deal and who will enforce it? What would happen to you if you Tweeted about it? What media would cover it other than 'Republican peddles baseless conspiracy theory that Democrats agreed not to campaign against him. What an idiot'.
