The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election

A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing.

The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence.

Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As President Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action but crickets. When media organizations called the race for Joe Biden on Nov. 7, jubilation broke out instead, as people thronged cities across the U.S. to celebrate the democratic process that resulted in Trump’s ouster.

A second odd thing happened amid Trump’s attempts to reverse the result: corporate America turned on him. Hundreds of major business leaders, many of whom had backed Trump’s candidacy and supported his policies, called on him to concede. To the President, something felt amiss. “It was all very, very strange,” Trump said on Dec. 2. “Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner, even while many key states were still being counted.”

Yes, but saved sounds as if it was a divine act for the good of mankind.

One could hope. Or form volunteers—don’t engage, just record who, what, where. Ideally, maybe someone like O’Keefe can have people in the inside. Remember, ACORN is how he got famous.

and it didn’t happen in 2018, 2016, 2014 def not 2012......since dirt turned brown.

Dems haven’t had an honest election for dogcatcher in Detroit, Philly etc...in hundreds of years.

But don’t worry, Dem cheating is new and novel.

And then Trump charged Biden with Chinese collusion and the media
and the two major parties in Congress refused to cooperate with Biden at all…

And the media fanned all over Trump, ghe Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA,
the media, and the Courts fell in love with him, and went after Biden.

Oh wait…
