Here are four recent news stories that show just how desperate Trump is, how terrified he is, how certain he is that he will lose.
These stories don't mean what you think they mean. I'll get back to that. Don't listen to the spin. It means we're winning.

The first is a story you've all heard, how the Trump Reich is screwing with the Post Office in an attempt to 1) slow delivery of ballots, and 2) question the legitimacy of vote-by-mail. You all knew this. Keep it in mind.

The second story: The Trump Reich, with the cooperation of the entire Fascist Party, is recruiting an army of
"poll watchers"--thugs, really--whose purpose is to intimidate voters and feloniously interfere directly with attempts to vote.

The third story: Trump is mounting a legal challenge in an attempt to force federal courts to declare a winner on election night, before all the mailed ballots can be counted. (Many states are counting them already, because they're already arriving.)

And the fourth story: Trump wants state legislatures to pick Electors, bypassing voters completely, in effect nullifying any votes for president cast in those states, whether mailed in or even at the polling sites.

On this last matter, the Constitution says State legislatures get to decide how Electors are picked. Every State has opted to let citizens select them by voting. Trump wants to do away with voting, and have legislators pick them.
Yes, Trump wants to end presidential voting.

All of these are desperate measures. All are fascist measures. All are signs that TrumPublicans know the odds of Trump winning are very, very poor.
There are some pundidiots who want you to panic and wave your arms and run in fear--and just give up.

No. The meaning of these moves is that Trump Reich, and the Fascist Party, are terrified. They know they're in deep trouble. They know even the vote suppression efforts they've been building for decades won't stop us from unseating them.
They know our votes will stop them.

These acts of desperation aren't going to work. That doesn't mean we can be complacent. It means we must redouble our commitment to get our ballots cast, and to make fucking sure everyone we know casts a ballot.
#VoteBlue, or fascism wins. It's that simple.
