DIGGING DEEPER:
Please text "FREEDOM" to 35565 to tell your senator
to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Tell them to use all the political power at their disposal to pressure any hold out votes to break the flllibuster and pass the bill before they leave Washington for the holidays.
Anti-democratic extremists are using the "big lie" as cover for their 5-5tep plan to sabotage our next
election already underway:

I . Obstruct
. Destroy Congress's power to stop voter
suppression, gerrymandering and election
manipulation by blocking centrist Senator Joe
Manchin's Freedom to Vote Act.

2. Gerrymander
. Redraw voting districts to eliminate opposition and
ensure Autocratic supporters control the US House
and key state legislatures.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
. Without federal law preventing gerrymandering
passed by December 13 (Step 1), Step 2 cannot be
stopped.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
3. Change the Rules
. Use the power of Autocratic-controlled state
legislatures to change election rules so election results are dismissed under claims of 'fraud.'

. With no federal law (Step 1) and no power in
Congress (Step 2), new federal protections cannot
be created and Step 3 cannot be stopped.

4. Stack the Deck
. Install Autocratic loyalists willing to falsely declare
fraud in local and state party committees, key
election administrator positions, and secretaries of
state.
. With no federal law (Step 1), no power in Congress
(Step 2), and state laws allowing election sabotage
(Step 3), Step 4 cannot be stopped.

5. Lie, Lie, Lie
. With the opposition suppressed and loyalists
installed, dispute the 2024 election results. This
triggers the 12th Amendment, stating that the
Presidency must be chosen by US House
delegations already captured by autocratic
gerrymandering (Step 2).
. This is the playbook used by rising autocrats in
fallen democracies.
