The Plan NEEDED the public to both witness election fraud AND witness the msm's fake coverage and lack thereof for a long enough period of time so as to guide the world into conclusively associating the subversion with the msm as co-conspirators.
Q already said 'they' have been doing this since at least JFK, rigging elections and pushing mass media propaganda.
The world needed to be informationally prepped first, to witness under the LIGHT a true example of a rigged Presidential election AND a prolonged example of msm trying to deflect and distract the public away from that truth.
The 'gradual' approach by Q/Q+ is MORE devastating to the cult because they have no other choice but to give themselves all the rope they would ever need.
MSM = Co-conspirators in criminal election fraud
