Justifican acciones antidemocráticas para hacer prevalecer la democracia. Distopía orwelliana 1984 a toda máquina. Tócate los cataplines. Voy a hacer comentario de texto, como hacíamos en clase de lengua de COU:
"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. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures."
Admited abiertamente que las élites han usados todos sus medios e industrias a su alcance para manipular, entre bastidores, desde la opinión pública hasta la ley. Ah, que eso no es trampear las elecciones, es fortalecerlas, porque claro, eso suena a un febril sueño paranoico. TÓCATE LOS narices.
"Sometime in the fall of 2019, Mike Podhorzer became convinced the election was headed for disaster–and determined to protect it."
Ah, cuál era el desastre, dejar que se vote democráticamente (y que gane trump)? Ese es el desastre a proteger?
"Beyond battling bad information, there was a need to explain a rapidly changing election process. It was crucial for voters to understand that despite what Trump was saying, mail-in votes weren’t susceptible to fraud and that it would be normal if some states weren’t finished counting votes on election night."
Claaaro, claaaaarooooo....
"They didn’t want to amplify false claims by engaging them, or put people off voting by suggesting a rigged game. “When you say, ‘These claims of fraud are spurious,’ what people hear is ‘fraud,'” Shenker-Osorio says. “What we saw in our pre-election research was that anything that reaffirmed Trump’s power or cast him as an authoritarian diminished people’s desire to vote.”"
Bien que lo sabéis eh?
"The racial-justice uprising sparked by George Floyd’s killing in May was not primarily a political movement. The organizers who helped lead it wanted to harness its momentum for the election without allowing it to be co-opted by politicians. Many of those organizers were part of Podhorzer’s network, from the activists in battleground states who partnered with the Democracy Defense Coalition to organizations with leading roles in the Movement for Black Lives."
Lo que ellos mismos negaron y acusaron de conspiranoicos a quienes justo denunciaban lo que ellos están reconociendo ahora. T´cate los bemoles continues...
"But Podhorzer was unperturbed when I spoke to him that night: the returns were exactly in line with his modeling. He had been warning for weeks that Trump voters’ turnout was surging. As the numbers dribbled out, he could tell that as long as all the votes were counted, Trump would lose."
Y cómo lo sabía? Ahí no se le acusa de afirmar un resultado sin haberse celebrado elecciones, como cuando Trump decía que estaba claro que él iba a ganar?
"“We wanted to be mindful of when was the right time to call for moving masses of people into the street,” Peoples says. As much as they were eager to mount a show of strength, mobilizing immediately could backfire and put people at risk. Protests that devolved into violent clashes would give Trump a pretext to send in federal agents or troops as he had over the summer."
Anda, también querían movilizar a los suyos en caso de que no saliera la cosa como la tenían amañada? Qué cosas.
"So the word went out: stand down. Protect the Results announced that it would “not be activating the entire national mobilization network today, but remains ready to activate if necessary.” On Twitter, outraged progressives wondered what was going on. Why wasn’t anyone trying to stop Trump’s coup? Where were all the protests?"
Ah, que si eso después, cuando llegado el caso si trump salíera elegido, porque si saliese elegido,en ese caso sí, en ese caso sería un golpe de estado.
"“There’s an impulse for some to say voters decided and democracy won. But it’s a mistake to think that this election cycle was a show of strength for democracy. It shows how vulnerable democracy is.”"
Todo el puñetero artículo diciendo quetrump va a hacer trampa sin una sola prueba y justificando sus acciones antidemocráticas para preservar la democracia, que es, por definición, si ganan los suyos y pierde trump. Todo muy claro.
"Podhorzer and his allies are still holding their Zoom strategy sessions, gauging voters’ views and developing new messages. And Trump is in Florida, facing his second impeachment, deprived of the Twitter and Facebook accounts he used to push the nation to its breaking point."
Todo muy democrático sí. Pro algo se hacen llamar demócratas.
"The truth is that neither likely could have succeeded without the other. “It’s astounding how close we came, how fragile all this really is,” says Timmer, the former Michigan GOP executive director. “It’s like when Wile E. Coyote runs off the cliff–if you don’t look down, you don’t fall. Our democracy only survives if we all believe and don’t look down.”"
Huy, la democracia es muy frágil, sí, si no es poir las maniobras antidemocráticas de los demócratas, como han dejado claro a lo largo del artículo, trump hubiera ganado antidemocráticamente, haciendo trampa, eso sí, sin explicar en ningún momento cómo.
"Democracy won in the end. The will of the people prevailed. But it’s crazy, in retrospect, that this is what it took to put on an election in the United States of America."
Claro, el triunfo de la democracia, y para ello, qué locura todo lo que hay que hacer. Sí sí.
