This is huge! Alarming! Horrifying! And the worst part for me is that we’re still living it. I haven’t even finished reading it but I am posting it here because you should know about it and read it, too.

It's fucking terrifying how close this was to happening
cowboycoco
So how long before we see exact photos from this powerpoint being circulated on FB as 'evidence' that the Dems stole the election?

Guys, this is obviously borne out of a sincere concern for election security. That's why they highlighted "TRUMP WINS!!! TRUMP WINS!!! YAYY"

I'm glad this has come out but they BELIEVED this. What laws did they actually break? How can DOJ act on this?
SisterMidnight
ItDepends upon the context of the email in which the PowerPoint was sent, who sent it, what was sent to, and what was identified as goals 1/
SisterMidnight
2/ fact that many of the points outlined were actually put into use, is damning, especially if the actors can be traced to the email
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
Assuming they all believed election fraud happened and they were trying to fight it, what law did they break? DOJ doesn't prosecute on hunch
SisterMidnight
I would hope that the additional 5970 pages of evidence collected from Meadows might be a bit more informative.
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
There is more to come and reason to be optimistic. But this alone is not a silver bullet, sadly.

If I were rigging an election, you know how I wouldn't do it? By dumping thousands of votes in at once...
HonestCommentFarmer
You know how everyone does it? They control the counting to ensure they arrive at the "correct" outcome.

Oh look what Republicans are trying to do!

This is so over the top traitorous, that it's hard to believe.

Clearly . I'm going with countertactics to discredit the allegations against the attempted coup.

Legit sources seems to actualy back this up, so OP is in the clear. Thank you and good night.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas. This is exactly what I pictured when I was reading the PPT.
crazyspelling
My favorite part is where they claim you can't trust the electronic voting machines OR the mail-in/absentee ballots. At that point
crazyspelling
you'd have to have new elections. You couldn't just throw out everything that's not a paper-in-person ballot and just count those.
Thankyoujameson
just a practice run.. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/january-6-insurrection-trump-coup-2024-election/620843/

Everything is projection. Trump tried messing with the voting system and then was super surprised he still lost.

joeys2323
Yikes. I like how the graphs only focuses on spikes in Bidens votes. Where there are clearly spikes in trump's votes elsewhere in the graph
grumpiestoldwoman
noctynight
And those spikes are the mail-in ballots. Y'know, the ones Trump discredited and discouraged his supporters from using.
xfunk
But but BIDEN INJECTION.

I love that Republicans turned independent under Trumpism and all the GOP can conclude is it must indicate fraud.
morelikeconsham
Honestly, republicans didn't turn independent under trump. At least not in appreciable amounts. He got more votes in 2020 than in 2016.
activeracer28
I keep asking, show do we know Trump actually won in 16 if it's so full of fraud?
onecowboytoo
Trump won is 2016 despite the Democrats voter fraud because he was so popular they didn't anticipate how much fraud would be needed. /s
Euchre
It is scary you can work out that twisted reasoning, that sounds just like what they would use.

I grew up in Montana. My Facebook is nothing but a Trumpster fire. A few days ago I had someone call me a communist, a Nazi, and say 1/x

so who is more American, me the person that has actually served for the country or the Gravy Seal?

This is a graphic design hellscape.

whydidistoplurkingafterallthistime
For as much $ as they made, couldn’t they at least produce a decent PowerPoint?
Euchre
You actually believe anyone can produce a decent PowerPoint?
sfrinlan
This is a designed part of their "everyman" charm. Too much production value alienates idiots
MrRobSteel
They got a unpaid intern to make it.

I expect more out of my unpaid interns. Mostly because I never had one.

I don't think I've ever met a conservative graphic designer. Maybe it's not a thing.
SeanBeanJovi
You won't meet too many conservative artists; especially decent ones. I think it has to do with cutting funding for the arts in school.

Which is weird when you think about, since there's a current design obsession with effective use of "white space".

I still haven't seen a single Trump supporter even try to defend this lol, they know it's utterly indefensible
n0n53n53
They believe all of the "evidence" in the slides. So they will think this is correct
MeatPopsicleMultiPass
Their go to is "I don't know a lot 'bout it, but I don't like it!"
flavivsaetivs
They're not trying to defend it because they read this and think it's evidence of their own worldview. They think this is factual.
ThatShiftyMonkey
What the slideshow says, they believe. That's the defense. They think the steps proposed should have happened to "stop the steal"
Argondey
On the contrary, they don't know this exists. You think Fox is reporting on this? How about the even further slanted outlets?
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
I fear it's worse than that. They believe election fraud really happened and this was their defense.
sfrinlan
They don't really understand election security and live in an echo chamber assuring them they're the wide majority and couldn't lose
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
Yet all those hearings and law suits led nowhere... they were laughed out of court
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
Agreed but it gave them an our against prosecution for THIS, didn't it? They can claim they didn't KNOWINGLY try to subvert democracy.
asmasm
That's a dangerous oversimplification. We can't afford to think that way. It's all in the slides - they just assert that there was fraud. 1/
FurbyDealer27
If the presentation was dated before the election and had discused ways the overthrow it, then you got him! This was completely the oposite?
asmasm
It's not necessary to prove it (obviously), just get ppl to believe. Look at all those vote graphs. Just point to a spike and say it's 2/

Evidence. Their voters already want to believe, and they've been hard at work for a year changing the rules and putting enforcers in 3/

Positions of control over election rules and results. Its indefensibility doesn't matter in the slightest. /end
SisterMidnight
Perception is reality
elcee50
I meant more they aren't even *trying*. Plenty of what Trump does is indefensible but they try anyway. In this case, they can't even bother
sfrinlan
It's almost clever. Note how they throw out the mail in and absentee ballots in a quick hand wave, then proceed to discuss the absolute
asmasm
Oh, it's clever.

circus they propose for the in person ballots. The sleight of hand was throwing the election in step 1, then people believe the hand recount

in step 2 because they put on such a show about it.

What an elaborate scheme, they must have planned to tamper with 7% of the ballots so they assumed 8% must have counter tampered. So dumb.

This is the singularly most damning piece of evidence that it was a clearly organised coup attempt. This needs to be taken deathly serious.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
That kind of depends who made this powerpoint. Did Meadows make it or was it just sent to him, and from who, and what was his response.
graehall
The current news about this is that it was passed around the inner circle before the insurrection by those involved.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
I mean everything in here was the same shit they'd be claiming since the election, and the "options for Jan 6" are only options for Pence(1
