OK, this anon admittedly is a little slow on the uptake, but had a bit of a lightbulb moment. This previously notabled article did the trick: https://www.deepcapture.com/2020/11/election-2020-was-rigged-the-evidence/
Although the article doesn't mention the 2016 election, it's clear that this whole election fraud operation has been on the radar for awhile.
So, taking everything we now know and applying about 2016, we know the cabal had it rigged. And we know from Q that white hats did some 11th hour unrigging to assure the will of the people prevailed. All this time, I assumed that the cabal realized that patriots had unrigged it. But if white hats were smart enough to unrig this thing, they were smart enough to make it look like an organic fail. I am now of the opinion that (((they))) assumed the rigging had simply failed due to something wrong in the algorithms rather than having been surreptitiously unrigged. Could they really be that stupid as to not figure out what really happened? Yeah, they probably are that stupid.
But still, they HAD to have had their suspicions. So 2018 was a test run…they had sealed up what they thought were the gaps. And lo and beyond, it worked. Not perfect, but good enough to get their prize…the House and Pelosi with the gavel. Plus, it went undetected (or so they thought).
Brimming with hubris, they moved onward to 2020. They sealed up what they thought were their 2018 gaps and boldly moved ahead with the belief that their op was bulletproof, AND that their 2018 stealth tactics had proved successful.
So, armed with this false confidence they were comfy throwing caution to the wind. And that's when they stepped right into the trap. The Plan was always based on creating that confidence. And The Plan worked. We have it all!
