I don’t like how weirdly quiet the right is, comparatively speaking. Makes me nervous. A rant or two isn’t much, in terms of the usual.

I've felt the same way since the assassination attempt. It's almost like the game keeps changing on them and they have no idea what works anymore.

Let's not underestimate them. Maybe they are running around like headless chickens without a clue, infighting and throwing tantrums.

Or maybe they're researching, planning and coordinating an effective counter campaign.

Assume the worst and prepare for it, never underestimate the enemy. It wouldn't take much to turn around things as they are and it's still anyone's election to play for.

Plus you know they will play dirty, count on that.

It’s more the unease of having to go check on the kids because the house is suddenly too quiet.

They're just going to rig it on the state level. It will be a shit show.

Someone on Reddit went into a deep play that I want to write off as conspiracy, but it’s stuck in my craw.

That essentially the speaker of the house can rig it by not accepting new candidates that will flip the house dem and asking for investigations, and then not accepting the electors and asking for investigations of key states processes, and then kicking the vote back to the states, where it’s then essentially 1 vote per state regardless of how much popular or electoral vote either candidate has. Governors voting would be a win for Trump.

So ya, the quiet complacency of the right atm makes me uneasy.

Granted I’m no historian and I’m not great at civics outside the states I’ve dwelled in. So someone would have to fact check that process. Maybe it’s bullshit meant to stomp on the joy.

They're doing opposition research and conducting focus groups, almost certainly. Laying low, doing probing attacks, and trying to wait out the honeymoon period of Harris, presumably. At the moment they don't have jack shit.
