      It’s true. It’s often said that Trump frequently uses this method.

        You could just wait for what Trump would rant or accused someone of something, and sure enough, he’s doing or saying exactly the same thing. Every accusation is a confession.

        Edit: Now I wonder about two things: 1: The GOP actually rigged the 2020 election and yet still lost, so in their minds Democrats must have cheated. 2: Cry rigged elections when there wasn’t any real fraud, causing people to defend the legitimacy of those elections, then actually rigging the elections, and now the DNC look like they are using rigged elections as an excuse to why they lost 2024, when they were just defending the legitimacy of those elects in the first place.

          I think that was the plan. We were prepared for it. And then they just didn’t need it.

            There is also the “We’re not voting this election” crowd. Some of the top searches during and after election day were: Is Biden running for president, and how do I change my vote. So, deep down, I really feel people tried to stick it to the Dems, but then regretted it, and now it’s too late.

              Pretty much, it’s like they went on a hunger strike over not being given food and then went… “Wait a minute, I’m hungry!”

    So, sociopaths? I met a few with whom I had very bad encounters and this is the exact tactic they all used.
