Just to recap events prior to election day, Trump’s enemies had already tried to assassinate him twice, and Soros DAs12 had waged all-out lawfare against him to keep him out of office. After all that, they surely feared retribution for their crimes. I expected them to unleash everything left in their arsenal in a final attempt to subvert the election (all to “protect our democracy,” of course).
