The Republicans are no longer even bothering to pretend to be at all interested in fair and free elections. They’ve signaled clearly that they will do anything to take and hold power, and honesty, integrity and democratic principles count for nothing at all. So if they don’t succeed this time, they’ll just cheat harder next time.
This isn’t some shadowy conspiracy theory - they’re doing it openly and publicly.
Fair and free elections in the US aren’t under threat - they’re already dead. And that’s not hyperbole - it’s the explicit, official position of the Republican party.
It really doesn’t matter if they succeed or not.

The only direction from here is down.
I started to say something similar, but I doubt I could have typed it as concisely as you did. Agree.
