1. This is an obvious prediction, but I want to get it on record. The GOP just released Trump from any accountability for trying to cheat in the upcoming election. That's one sign of many that they are going to try to rig the election, in a range of illegal & semi-legal ways.

2. Now, what do we know about the reactionary mind? When it is contemplating or planning some offense, it must convince itself that its opponents are *already doing* whatever the offense is -- so that it has "no choice" but to do it to. Projection. Predictable as clockwork.

3. Put 1 & 2 together & you get my prediction: starting pretty soon, conservatives are going to start accusing Dems of cheating & election fraud. They might find some half- or quasi-truth to hang it on, but that's not necessary. The bubble can just invent stuff these days.

4. They are going to start these accusations early & aggressively, which offers two advantages. First, when Dems start pointing out *actual* examples of cheating & election fraud, cons will say they're just doing it in response, trying to wriggle out of something.

5. And more importantly, putting accusations in the air early means that when their own cheating & fraud are pointed out, the media will cover it as a "both sides are accusing each other of cheating, isn't partisanship terrible" story.

6. Remember, their case doesn't need to be plausible, any more than Trump's Ukraine defense was plausible. They won't mind looking silly or being "fact-checked" by the MSM. They just need to keep both-sides chaff in the air long enough for them to get away with it.
