that you tend to lop off the low hanging fruit first, leaving the really ripe, rotten ones behind.

The "moderates" get cleaned out before the real radicals.

complete with stories of e-voting machines that allegedly "flipped votes"
from Rmoney to Obama, like happened the other way around in some prior

watching those cheating, vote-suppressing bastards talk about STOLEN ELECTIONS after they had a PRESIDENT INSTALLED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE is HILARIOUS

Obsessing and sounding the alarm about "Them" .. those "other" people who may
be "getting away" with doing the very forbidden thing that you yourself actually
ARE doing, but doing secretly and in hiding.

And very few will vote for them. Their party will be split and have as much relevance as the Whig Party does today.

Put them on defensive and pin their ears back. Reveal them for the anti-American secret fascists they are, people who understand neither the letter nor the spirit of the Constitution and can only win by cheating.
