How Democrats Could Steal the Midterms
By now everyone with two working brain cells knows, or pretends not to know, that Democrats cheated on a colossal scale to get Whisperin’ Joe into the White House. So it’s safe to say that Republicans, having wised up to the Donks’ stratagems and skullduggery, will capture both House and Senate in next year’s midterms. Right? Yes. That is, assuming elections actually take place on November 8, 2022.
Who doubts that Democrats, with a death grip on power now, are capable of anything to keep Pelosi and Schumer on top and Biden’s cabal in the White House calling the shots? Well, in a takeaway from those absconding Dem Texas legislators, you can’t be defeated if you don’t show up for the game.
Fixing a presidential election proved simple; given the number of candidates involved, rigging midterms would be a reach. An alternative?

Masked provocateurs roam the streets, damaging property, assaulting innocents, fighting the police officers confronting them, and targeting polling stations for burning. To sow confusion, a few are wearing MAGA hats. Mayors and governors appear caught by surprise and announce that it will take days to get the National Guard in to quell disturbances.
The left and its allies in the media will highlight the disturbances and accuse white supremacists and Trump sympathizers of fomenting unrest in hopes of dissuading voters from leaving home to cast ballots for Democrat House and Senate candidates. The January 6, 2021 “insurrection” idiocy (with American citizens in custody for months for trespassing) will be revived by the MSM to muddy the waters….
