You have to communicate with these people at a level they can understand. Explain to them _“Good, I’m glad you saw through the lies. We’re going to need people like you in the days ahead. What we need you to do now is go home and keep acting like everything is okay. Don’t do anything that will draw their attention to you. You don’t want to be put on their list. Stay quiet and wait for our signal.”_

Well, there have been three cases of election fraud in the news recently. The problem for the Trump camp is that those cases were Republicans committing fraud.

**Damuri** , the voters being biased against Trump is not “rigging”. It’s how the system is supposed to work.

Trump swore up and down that the elections were rigged. He won the election. But if the election was rigged, then he is not the rightful president.
