Everything they've done since Jan makes sense when viewed from the perspective that they never plan on facing consequences, accountability, or fair elections ever again.
Why would they need to worry? They already stole the election in 2024, they can do it again.

All the evidence I've seen to date is shaky at best. The strongest evidence is how brazenly they have acted since taking office, indicating the type of confidence you'd expect after already successfully subverting democracy, but they've been already successfully subverted democracy for decades with the endless stream of disinformation and propaganda... I still haven't recovered from the migrant caravans or Obamas tan suit.
Russia hacked in multiple times, mapped things out and coordinated attacks in swing states. Defcon started doing a whole village for voting machines after the first time and very few municipalities fixed anything. There still hasn't been a legitimate recount anywhere there should have been.
Oh I'm well aware. I've read dozens of articles over 2 decades about the horrors of American e-voting. Every election since their intro could have already been used for fraud at some level, all the way to federal.
The problem is that there isn't some smoking gun to prove it, and there probably never will be. It's better to focus on the anti-democratic flaws in the entire system, especially oligarch/corporate control over politics through bribery — sorry, "donations" — and all other forms of corruption. Those are already proven.
I think what we really need, short of direct action, is journalism. Journalists could find a smoking gun. There should be several. There should be physical ballots, records of destruction or missing ballots.
Read the first and last link. The Russian Tail is obvious. There's your smoking guns.
I would but I've never heard of either of those sources. Do you have any reputable sources? I would love to have some ammo to use against some MAGA relatives.
The first one is a newspaper in San Diego I believe the author linked the academic sources in the article, and the last link is a non profit foundation that was set up by a cybersecurity veteran, a data analyst, and a third academic. I don't know how to give you better sources than that.
MSM isn't going to breathe a word of this. They'll get taken off the air.
Everything also makes sense if viewed from the point of view of benefiting Russia.
Its not tin-foil hat, it's Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.
When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it's happening in real time before our eyes.
All they care about is money, and either Putin is paying them directly out of the Russian Treasury (HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for far less than a billion bucks, and Putin could order a lot more than that), or they've cut a deal to split the booty like the pirates they are.
Unless he and his cronies are also bullet proof, stab proof, immune to poison, immune to radiation, and possess no flammable property, that doesn't seem like a very good plan.
They think that when the revolution hits, they can use Peter Theil's spy tech to crush it, and then they will go full mask off.
