Psst ... Republicans. Over here.

Let’s keep this on the down-low, because I don’t want to be seen as aiding and abetting the enemy.

But seriously, have you thought this through?

Your “pResident” keeps telling people that voting by mail is evil wrongdoing – and as a result, his brainless ‘base’ (or what’s left of it) will refuse to go that route.

That means many Republican voters will have to go to the polls to vote in person – EXCEPT that many won’t do so, for fear of being exposed to Covid.

And if you think they’re reluctant to do so now, where do you think they’ll be in three months, when the virus is even more widespread and the death toll is continuing to rise?

I’m not a political strategist – but I have to say that scaring your own supporters into NOT voting is not likely to be a winning strategy.

than his Cult Members. They've been conditioned into thinking it's a hoax for months now.

He is gambling that he can successfully either a) get at least certain key states to not allow it and/or b) is planning to use it's existence as 'the reason he came up short' vote-wise and then he's going to refuse to concede on the grounds that he was 'cheated' by this mail-in voting he's been ranting about for months leading up to it.

Then when he's MADE to leave, he'll have something to snipe at Biden about every day afterwards, to the thrill of the cultists.
