It's intentional. The same reason that headlines say IDF troops are "murdered" but Palestinian children "die". It's the use of language to manufacture consent.
To you and I it's probably become painfully obvious when reading headlines. It even, unfortunately, plagues good journalist in non-independent media who have their titles changed before publishing. So much so that you'll have actual substance of the article explaining the opposite of which the title implies.
But, it obviously works on the population at large even if they aren't really fooled by it. Sometimes all you need is to pacify the outrage of a population enough. I think that's what their trying to do with Maxwell. I don't think they're stupid enough to even believe the MAGA voters will fall for this narrative. (Some will, but those are primarily those with cult brain rot or more importantly financial incentives to exploit the cult brain rot).
I think they are absolutely unafraid of any popular resistance. These people are protecting pedophiles for Christ's sake.
I use to keep thinking that each new steel beam will be the one that breaks the camels back. But I've been thinking that for too long now.
Unfortunately, Fascism won because it's controlling our country. Pointing to fascist and calling them out for cheating will not make fascist stop being fascist.
I'll be honest, I haven't looked into the election stuff much because I see it as an effort that goes nowhere. Even if I think it very likely.
Like, we're black bagging people and shipping them to foreign countrys prisons. Like, if we can't rally people around resistance to that then how are we going to make people care about election results in a system most people feel like has never worked in the first place?
Fascism is here BECAUSE this "democracys" structures are meant to serve the wealthy and ruling class. That's how they were written since this nations foundation. This time it was just in your face so plainly because they realized they dont need to pretend anymore.
The people of this country don't need election investigations to understand that the system is not democratic. They've felt that their entire lives in some way or another.
Trump made the ruling class of America realize they didn't have to keep pretending the systems were democratic. Literally spitting on the ballots is not what brought us here. Its just the point we finally reached.
