Trump Wants You to Accept All of This as Normal
Briefly

In the final week of this election season, the Republican Party is running two different campaigns: one conventional and the other aimed at preparing Americans for potential assaults on the electoral system.
At Madison Square Garden, Tucker Carlson, warming up the crowd for Trump, mocked Kamala Harris’s background and implied that her possible 85 million votes could only be deemed illegitimate if Trump loses.
Carlson’s comments reflect an underlying strategy: if Trump loses the election, it will be important to suggest that public support for his opponent was fabricated, fueling doubt on electoral integrity.
The Trump campaign operates on the premise of confidence amidst tight polls, suggesting that preparation for another January 6 reminds Americans of the fragility of political systems.
