"You see, everything's a Democrat / Big Tech conspiracy. If Donald Trump hasn't won, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If Donald Trump claims he's won or doesn't claim he's won, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If you can find exactly what you want on an internet search as literally the very first result, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. If your cat vomits, it's a Democratic / Big Tech conspiracy. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"

Really, this election is going to be about as valid as any of the last dozen - the usual shit about voter rolls and purges, gerrymandering, a few problems like hanging chads, but basically virtually no real, dedicated fraud.
And yet despite election after election showing virtually no fraud, more and more Americans are convinced of fraud. They're so convinced of fraud that the only reason no-one can find any is because THEY don't want you to find out, where THEY is whoever is on their shitlist, because when there's no evidence anyone's doing it, you're free to accuse anyone. Why do so many people believe fraud? Because they keep being told there is fraud by people who can't identify fraud or provide evidence of fraud. And we all know the more people say something with enough conviction, the more people believe it anyway.
Left unchecked, eventually the people will destroy their own democracy because they don't trust it anymore, and on that point, as the winning side hoists their dictator into power, they will cheer that finally the non-existent corruption has been destroyed.
If there is anything I would like to urge Americans, it's the next time someone suggests to you mass fraud, look that person in the eyes and say "I'll believe it when you prove it". Have some more faith in your country, its institutions, and your countrymen. Don't feed the trolls, give the crazies oxygen, share their posts and repeat their unfounded fears. Otherwise not this year, maybe not 2024 or 2028, but eventually, you and your countrymen will be trying to burn each other and the country down.
