Well, let me ask if winning the election was really going to advance the board. IE - was anyone really going to listen to Trump or his admin brief the world about a criminal cabal?
Of course not.
What other way will you get time magazine to come out and say: "we stole the election!"? Only when they think they have won.
And only when they think they have won will they begin taking the actions they intended to carry out.
Since the days they entered politics 40 years ago.
And that is the thing people need to keep in mind. The new communist radicals are not the source of the coup, but tools of it.
