A self-described "well-funded cabal of powerful people" gleefully admit that they were "working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information" ahead of, during, and after the 2020 Presidential Election.
But don't worry: "They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it."
A bombshell article published Friday in Time Magazine entitled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election" reads more like a lengthy confession:
Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result.
Dan O'Donnell devoted an entire hour of Friday's show to dissecting the article and its mind-blowing admissions about how deeply coordinated the effort to essentially rig the election really was.
