Many were projecting that the November 2022 midterm elections would be a Red Wave. Brandon sucks a lot, and even some normies are starting to see it. The results of the election were disappointing to many. The Republicans gained a majority in the House, but it was by a smaller margin than many had expected (thus the Red Ripple and not the Red Wave). Whether this was due to election rigging or not, I don't know for sure.
But we all just saw what happened this week in the Speaker of the House election. A few MAGA patriots were able to hold up everything to get a significant degree of concessions from McCarthy. And those concessions seem to be good for MAGA going forward.
Now here's the crazy theory:
What if the Red Ripple had to occur to get those concessions?
If we had a massive Red Wave, what would have happened in the Speaker of the House election? We would have had a lot of first-time GOP congressmen. Would they have held out for concessions from McCarthy? I argue they would not. Not because they are anti-MAGA, but because they were new to the game. They don't understand how it all works yet. They would have just come in and voted for the Red Team frontrunner, because that's how all of this usually works.
Most of us have to warm up to an idea, like election fraud, before we'll accept it. I'm no different. People think I'm stubborn, but that's because I want time to mull things over first, and can change my mind fairly quickly once the pattern becomes clear. And if the pattern has been there for a while, that doesn't take long either.
So I suspect 2018 and 2020 were the alarm bells, and 2022 the wake up call. Some people are just now entertaining the idea that something stinks.
BTW, in the late 1990's I was speculating online about how easy it would be to steal an election with just 5% of vote being fraudulent, and with most states having 50+ precincts, you could spread it around the state and focus on areas you could control and get away with it. Admittedly, I was naive about some of the methods, but some people could not buy the idea that simple methods would be enough to change the outcome of a close election, especially with the MSM working on the population (they had to know exactly how to inspire a few percent to stay home or change their vote) to make it a close election.
