TIME magazine’s piece on the 2020 election has many people raising their eyebrows on social media today.

They didn’t rig the election, they just ‘fortified’ it.

Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.

Quite an admission here. Why do you think they are coming out with this now?

The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election
That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.

Interesting!
They're coming out with it now because the election is over and because they want attention. The left will cheer what was done and say it wasn't anything illegal.



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. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program

Instead of "new world order" it is now the "great reset."

Same massaging of the words.

Just another confirmation of what they were doing and what was fragile was establishment politican job security not the system. And 'in order to ensure that democracy in America endures'. No they wanted a two party either or system to endure so they can mold it into single party rule.

Rationalizing like two bit junkies on crack.

I knew they would. Now they will just say it's been debunked.

So if this is the new world order, end of the world and what not, why worry about it.

Gods Plan is Gods Plan, so you might as well make sure you, and family souls are saved and wait for Armageddon.

The definition of FORTIFY is:
provide (a place) with defensive works as protection against attack.
Since when is fortifying our elections against an attack a bad thing?

The first task was overhauling America’s balky election infrastructure–in the middle of a pandemic. For the thousands of local, mostly nonpartisan officials who administer elections, the most urgent need was money. They needed protective equipment like masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. They needed to pay for postcards letting people know they could vote absentee–or, in some states, to mail ballots to every voter. They needed additional staff and scanners to process ballots.

In March, activists appealed to Congress to steer COVID relief money to election administration. Led by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, more than 150 organizations signed a letter to every member of Congress seeking $2 billion in election funding. It was somewhat successful: the CARES Act, passed later that month, contained $400 million in grants to state election administrators. But the next tranche of relief funding didn’t add to that number. It wasn’t going to be enough.
What this thread really is about is preventing people from voting.

It is about how can vote and how, and when. It is about controlling outcomes.
