In Orwellian Twist --- Mainstream Media describes vast conspiracy to steal the 2020 election by hiding it in plain sight and calling it "The Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election”

 

Writing in a Time Magazine article, Molly Ball presented the "shadow campaign [or effort]" as an heroic alliance to guarantee a free and fair Presidential election across the United State, and to fend off  anticipated claims of fraud by President Trump and/or his operatives and loyalists at the local and state level in key states all around the country

Coincidentally, what Ms. Ball described in her Time Magazine piece is apparently identical to what she calls  >>>  the “paranoid” view by Trump supporters to call it a conspiracy to make it virtually impossible for Trump to win in several key states

Here's the Orwellian flim-flam in the Time Magazine article worthy of incorporation by Eric Arthur Blair into either "1984" or "Animal Farm"  ---  According to Molly Ball, the anti-Trump conspirators "were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it".....

Article also claims that the "Left" fine tuned the counter-demonstrations on January 6th so as to ensure that Trump would be blamed for all of it

Molly Ball described the cabal as a  "... vast, cross-partisan campaign" to "protect the election" as follows:  

"....  For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors....  Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result....  That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information....  

Here is Molly Ball's very simple body throw in verbal jiu jitsu:  "....   They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it...."   George Orwell [Eric Arthur Blair] would have loved [or would that have been "hated"] the cynical irony.  In either case, he certainly would have recognized it as both cynical and ironic.....

BUT WAIT,  THERE'S STILL MORE

As reported by Molly Ball in Time Magazine,  as the election neared,  the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined with the AFL-CIO in creating an alliance to reject claims of election fraud by Trump and/or his supporters [Ball noted that some key Republicans also aided in the effort].

In addition, there was a nationwide left-wing movement to unleash serious unrest if Trump tried to claim victory in the event that the election might be too close to call. Ball’s reporting indicated that the over all “shadow effort" had a hand in coordinating such efforts. [However she noted that the “national mobilization network” was told to “stand down” after it became clear that Biden would be declared the winner].

And here's a real twist  >>>  the left's “national mobilization network” worked to make sure there would be fewer counter-demonstrators at the January 6 “Stop the Steal” demonstration in Washington, DC, so as to ensure that any blame for what happened would be placed on Trump and /or Trump supporters alone.
