    I’m 90% certain revolt won’t happen. Probably more. The age of revolutions has passed, especially in America. The standard of living is too high, the weapons of suppression are too powerful. To quote the great Disco Elysium: “the material base for an uprising has eroded.”

      In other words, thwarting the tactics described in this article is a do-or-die imperative because we have no backup plan. And that’s really bad news, because (a) pretty much every countermeasure I can think of only further disrupts the election and thus plays right into their hands, and (b) as far as I can tell, we’re not even trying to do anything about it.

      Oh yeah, and also: unless we go even further and crush the MAGA movement entirely (imprison the traitorous leaders and deprogram the cultists), they’re just going to keep trying until they succeed.
