What should Americans be watching for as the midterms approach? After four decades in the intelligence community, Harry Hannah says there are reasons to pay attention.

They will reject the results of this selection... except the pushback will make J6 look like an absolute cake-walk, for comparsion - because undermining the legitimacy of the elections is the point.
However, that situation places us - squarely - in a catch 22 because: (1) on one hand if they win (inexplicably against polling numbers, a stark contrast to the public sentiment) - they will then leverage that to undermine the legitimacy of future elections (even though they engineered a win and it resulted in potential voter spoilage/cheating, as it is controlled by a majority hand and could feel…

However, that situation places us - squarely - in a catch 22 because: (1) on one hand if they win (inexplicably against polling numbers, a stark contrast to the public sentiment) - they will then leverage that to undermine the legitimacy of future elections (even though they engineered a win and it resulted in potential voter spoilage/cheating, as it is controlled by a majority hand and could feel like a repeat of 2024 win - following Trump's J6 coup d'etat); or (2) they will lose and literally throw anything/everything (including the kitchen sink) at denouncing the results, or engineering a loss for the opposition - while engineering a "win" themselves).
We must recognize on just how dangerous of a president and precedent this sets. We already know that Trump likely has kept the Iran conflict alive for the reason of having a bypassing "existential crisis" that will be used to destract. Similarly, the no-longer-independent/hijacked DOJ's corrupt attempts to rig the midterms (under Blanche; and to engineer payment to J6er insurrectionists along with pardons), among dozens of other strategems will be utilized.
In "their version of reality" (which they conflate as the only legitimate version of reality), is a world where truth doesn't exist (is impossible to be determined), they win always, and their opposition only wins above them as the result of cheating. This is quite literally the most abusive and brain-damaged of a false-belief system/gaslighting and actions of subverting of the will of the people we've seen in this nation's history; just because SCOTUS wrongfully undermines the constitution under a corrupt seal of "rubber stamped" approval (similar to Trump's purported "immune from prosecution under official acts" - while failing to define it) is a level of complicitness and complacency. Why? Simple: crimes are always determined based on intent and last time around (back when our democracy had guard-rails) - Trump and his regime attempted to seize and cling onto power via blackmail, coercion, demanded recounts, lawsuits, and engaging in endless lies. Just because Trump "believed" he had been wronged and kept up that lie (then forced his confirmed cabinet members to maintain the lie), doesn't mean we're unable to determine truth from untruth, etc.
What we've been witnessing has been a period of the highest and most engrained level of corruption ins our democracies history - including unilateral war against its people (ICE shootings), foreign nations (illegal and unprovoked war engagement), EOs that were never backed by congressional approval (along with the war), and now a decade later - a legacy media machine that is either one part complicit accessory to the lies, or are capitulating out of fear. To make matters worse (and less clear), is seeing every major tech CEO sitting next to Trump dureing his 2nd inauguration on Jan 20 2025 - after literally only a little over 4 years earlier, the corporate tech bros denounced his willingness to overthrow our state of governance. Yes, that's correct: Twitter, Facebook and YouTube - silenced a still then sitting president; and we literally could not rely on congress (due to Republican sycophancy and the end of their respective party, due to their fears of impeaching him would backfire).
It's time to prime and prepare ourselves to these facts, and act accordingly when voting and responding to their attempts to over-engineer, or over-throw the last bastions of our self-governance model. Trump can fawn as much as he wants over wanting to Be Putin, Kim Jun, etc. - but Americans are sick of his narcissistic gaslighting and abuse and even his supporters are starting to wake up. It's become so dire for Trump and his supporters that Trump announced at a recent rally "you gotta cheat like hell, like they do" (going on to encourage his supporters to create the very fraud he complains of). Why do they comply?
In my own personal opinion (but also lookign at patterns): this is because they are just as weak as he is... just as Republicans are as weak as he is. Republicans know (much like his supporters), what they are doing. This abusive relationship between patriarchal/abusive father relationship many in the conservative world have received from their father's and the group think of rural goers; hence why they refer to him as "daddy". This toxic and noxiousness, attempts to self-perpetuate, when I am personally confident - many of them are vastly aware of the subtextual/pretextual abuses they ascribe towards - hence why the attacks on our capital happened that day and they attempt to invert and project responsibility away that day (as they have changed their story-telling of the events of J6 and fear-mongered over 'socialism' and intentionally conflating as 'communism', taking over - ad nauseum). They know they can't win on logic/facts/memory, so they attempt all means to pigeon-hole their way to victory (even - yes, if it requires cheating; or burning our way of governance to the ground, or interfering in the sovereign governance of other countries, or launching us into many new illegal wars, or subjugation of the American people). For all of those reasons and more - remain vigilant and do not remain complicit and silent - narcs rely on it, to engineer inferred consent of the public (as these last bastions of democracy reject such attempts to undermine). And for anyone involved in this process, recognize that whistle-blowing exists for a reason - and act accordingly if you see illegal things happen before, on, or following these upcoming mid-terms. They are so desperate: this is their final chances to attempt to grip onto and seize power, before losing everything; what comes next, is accountability and in my opinion: investigations that make Nurembergs (much like Nixon's corruption), comparatively: look like a cake walk.
