Ok, hear me out ...... let's start off with 2 datums .... 1. We are watching a movie and 2. Trump is currently the "real" president acting as such.
So, if we are watching a movie and all the important actors are playing their parts well under control, why would any plan depend upon the variability of an election at this point? Why depend upon a single individual staying healthy etc. (i.e. Trump). It would seem if we are watching a movie then all important variables can be accounted for a coped with if it falls "wrong", an actor/controlled asset replaced etc. Also if the next election is vital, wouldn't Q be communicating to us to assist as such? Q has gone dark because we did most all thats needed of us until the normies awaken.
Secondly if Trump is actually doing his 2nd term, he does not get 3 per the rules (assuming we playing fair in that case).
If we are watching a movie, then we can assume most all individuals with power to affect real outcomes are under control (maybe the blackmail material is in white hats hands and they do what they are told like how RICO is run). It seems like Trumps first term was to put various last steps in place Space force, various EO's etc. and now he may only have a small part to play in the final stretch. Q did say they have plans "beyond Trump".
If we are "watching a movie", all vital variables must be under control at a probably impressive scale.
Justifications and legitimate criticism for what? Any conclusions drawn about the plan details and timing are speculation. We can't assume that just because events are not going the way we think they should that the plan is BS or that "nothing is happening."
The only thing we know for certain about the plan is that it includes moves and countermoves to destroy the DS. The WH control the final outcome, but not the individual moves made by the DS. We know nothing about the moves and countermoves of each side until after they happen and our job is to publicize the true meaning behind them based on Q post analysis. In Q post analysis, future proves past. It doesn't predict the future because the timing and actual events aren't determined solely by WH. Only the final outcome will be determined by WH, but the timing of and the events leading there are unknown.
