Trump is Stranger than Ficti

Mon Nov 14 14:22:07 CST 2016

The polls didn't blow it.

Exit polling shows that more voters thought they voted for Hillary in
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina and other states that she lost. For
nearly a century, exit polling was considered so accurate, it was the way
we determined whether there was tampering with the vote afterwards. It was
the gold standard.

But then, since 2000... well, Google "Red Shift" if you'd like some
nightmare fuel.

Trump not only lost the popular vote (possibly by over a million), he also
probably should not have won the electoral college vote, if all votes cast
were counted.

There were shennanigans at play, I am pretty much positive. The idea of
"shy Trump voters" is idiotic on its face. There has never been a more
activist, in your face voting bloc in American history, minority though
they be.

The paperless electronic voting machines are at the heart of this theft.
Whether by insider tampering at the tabulating level, or by Russian hacking
(as appears to have happened in NC).

We are in a post-reality period for America.

God help us all.
