How can it ever be denied now, that Republicans are deceptively trying to steal the election and suppress votes? What could POSSIBLY be their reasoning for setting up fake ballot drop off boxes?

I honestly doubt democracy can survive in the long run as these kind of actions by a party show how little they respect or want democracy.

Most households would face a tax increase under the Biden-Harris tax plan. In fact, as the chart shows, unless your household income is less than $45,600, there is more than a 90 percent chance that the Biden-Harris plan, if enacted, will raise your taxes. In the exact middle of the household income distribution, over 95 percent of households can expect a tax increase if the Biden-Harris plan becomes law. Overall, 82.6 percent of American households can expect a tax increase.

This is one of those examples one hears of regarding lies, damn lies, and statistics.

If a store under recent management undercut their prices while increasing purchases to the point they were bleeding capital and new management has to come in to correct the problem, it's true that the new management will end up having raised prices on the majority of goods sold in the store. But that isn't telling anyone anything meaningful about why it's happening.

In other words, typical Fox News propaganda and hair fire starter...

A golden trumpet? A silver-tongued orator? On the trail, Trump spells out his case to Suburban women for their vote:
Trump has clearly given up on cities. His votes are in rural areas, and in 2016, a lot of suburbs. "The Other" of 2016 was the immigrants, "The Other" of 2020 are the Democrat hordes defunding your police departments so that crime runs rampant.

Trump is our most limbic President.

That "some" Republicans are doing it is the point. Trump has been insisting that the coming election is going to be rigged. That makes it all the more embarrassing that the only ones who have been caught trying to "rig" it, so far, are Republicans. The only reason Trump is so sure that the election is going to be "rigged" is because he knows that he and at least "some" of his Republican supporters are eager to do it to ensure his win.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Let's hope some Republicans do not answer Trump's call with shootings at polling places. Some of their schemes so far with fake ballot boxes and kidnapping a Governor seem pretty elaborate.
