You know, I read this article and I read the article that claimed the con is winding down and I disagree.I think will declare their symposium to be a rousing success and over the next few months we will see the con ramp up spectacularly, as deluded voters across the nation engage in stunt after stunt to get their state and local officials to audit the 2020 election. It’ll ramp down at some point, I’m sure the trolls won’t still be screaming Trump Won! In 2045….but we are no where near the end. I would’ve think everyone would’ve learned this by now, but no. ---

Dominion Voting Systems announced they were proceeding with their lawsuit against Lindell, and that’s when he decided it would be a good time to stop talking. That might put a damper on any future symposiums. Or maybe not. Lindell was dissing Dominion during the symposium even though they already had a lawsuit against him. ---

The people that are watching this dog and pony show (the believers) are going to continue to say “look at all this stuff” - they have neither the expertise or knowledge to understand how its just smoke and mirrors. The reports in teh daily beast, etc - that admit its smoke and mirrors - will be dismissed as ‘fake news’. ---

But also supporters quietly slink away – never announcing their discontinuance of support, but keeping their mouths shut more and more. The circus gets more intense, but progressively smaller. ---

> [@leahcim](#): > > The circus gets more intense, but progressively smaller. So the cult becomes more cultish, as the numbers shrink but the believers become more fanatic. In a sense that makes them less influential, but it also makes it more likely that some deluded maniac will set off a bomb or shoot people. ---

And later, when my landlord was watching the shitshow, I said, “Hey, where’s Lindell? He said he was going to be onstage for 72 hours straight.” He immediately insisted, “He was misquoted. That’s not what he said.” I had to tell him that I watched the video, and that was _exactly_ what he said. He might not have _meant_ it, but that’s exactly what he said. Don’t try to gaslight me. As a psych patient, I recognize a mental breakdown when I see it. ---

I’ve seen this article and I believe it is wrong. I think it is very very wrong. I think the con is going to escalate in the wake of the Big Lindell Cyber-Symposium. The narrative is not - “oops we have nothing”. The narrative is “it’s deeper than we thought”. I think you will see wholesale harassment of state and local officials and election boards over the next several weeks, as the deranged sore losers vocally demand their own audits. They know the evidence is there, because their core belief, the one unchanging truth, is that Trump couldn’t have lost a fair election. So they will keep looking until they find the truth, even if they have to waterboard every person (well, every Democrat) that worked the election. And if anyone objects, it’s only because they’re in on it. Otherwise, why would they object? I watched a few minutes of the symposium this afternoon and they were doubling down on attacking Dominion. Yesterday’s court ruling did not chill their enthusiasm for taking Dominion out. They arent going to stop anytime soon. This is NOT over. ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > It must be a genius suit. It also reduces fat! No see it’s like a 10 foot tall puppet he’s operating from inside so that the height-weight ratio is correct. And then he just stands really far away so that he doesn’t seem too tall. It’s the same technology used in the Lord of the Rings films to make the hobbit actors look small, “forced perspective”. That’s the kind of solution you get when dealing with a stable genius. ---
