related to this: since the Ds are crazy & evil to the Rs' stupid & weak, it's worth keeping in mind that the "4D chess" meme - of looking past the surface for deeper strategical meaning - is not wrong, it's just misapplied to DJT when it should be to the Ds. 1/n https://twitter.com/NoblemanGesture/status/1324770788436828160
Everything said by Ds is to get a response, because that's how they operate with their base (elicit emotion) and how well they know their opposition (reactionary).

If you care about power - which is all they care about - you better have a strong propaganda game. 2/n
Ex. While veiled threats ("Trump Accountability Project") should of course be taken as a threat, you also have to realize direct communication is not their wheelhouse. They love playing the victim. Threats from them are not to be acted upon by them, but by YOU. 3/n
Sure it fills an emotional need on behalf of their supporters, but the main idea is win/win/win (contrasted with Rs' lose/lose/lose). W with their base for emotional need of revenge, W if they do act on direct threat, W to get YOU to be the actor and NOT them. 4/n
The last W is to get a stupid response out of RWers to come out of the woodwork with violence (doesn't even have to be completed acts, merely plans or talk) and get them on sting operations to fulfill their worldview AND for the 1st W mentioned (base). 5/n
The last W is really pivotal not just because it's 2-fold, but also since their narratives aren't based in reality Ds have to re-emphasize it's all "real" to their base. The more agitprop-addled the base, the less they have to do this, but it's always useful to re-emphasize. 6/n
The same thing is going on rn with the corner they're painting Trump into with the election recount: they put the fix in blatantly so Trump would contest it.

Can 2 observers really observe vote-counting in a warehouse of 500 people from 6 ft. away let alone 100? 7/n
No, of course not. So it would have made more sense (assuming surface reasoning) for them to allow it for veil of legitimacy. Kicking out observers in Philly, and cheering about it on camera, makes no sense UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE SEEN. 8/n
Why do anything to be seen?

For a reaction from an intended target.

Again, it's not a "trap" per se for DJT to contest an obviously st*len election, but to better understand D tactics you have to understand why & how they seek out these W/W/W situations. 9/n
If DJT wins the recount/litigation of this election, Ds *still* get a W as it 1) validates their narrative of DJT "stealing" an election & not leaving office if losing, 2) fulfills base's emotional need of being right to be worried/TDS and 3) invalidates DJT's mandate. 10/n
And this is all with them "LOSING"!

Rs *never* get close to this kind of "losing" because they don't actually care about power, or if they do, it's very very delineated power for individuals within a small fiefdom (think lobbyists) and not as part of a vanguard. 11/n
If Ds win in this scenario, they *still* get multiple Ws.

- DJT out of office,
- normalizing massive election fr*ud,
- confirmation of narrative to base,
- entrench Big Tech power even further,
- nearly every policy they want out of a senile president via EOs 12/n
If Ds can successfully rig a national election through massive voter fr*ud in 4-5 D cities, a simple majority R senate is not an obstacle 😂

Procedural rule-based thinking like that as I've mentioned before is why Rs lose/lose/lose. https://twitter.com/NoblemanGesture/status/1324472684403568641 13/n
So what do we do?

DJT should proceed with litigation & recounts but we all need to be cognizant of how Ds will still take this as a W as I've mentioned and be willing to endure bad optics & emotional sh*t tests to see through the holding on to of real political power. 14/n
Also, not doing anything stupid (avoiding an L) is just as good as a W, so no acting upon fedposting impulses and do NOT be demoralized under any circumstances.

Ds understand better than Rs: emotions > facts. Emotions *for* your base and emotions *against* your enemies. 15/n
Demoralization either neuters your opponents or pushes them to make REALLY dumb choices out of desperation (see: fedposting IRL).

Don't give in. Avoid the Ls and unnecessary blackpills.

That's all I have for now aside from read The 48 Laws of Power. 16/finish
