Start the steal

 

"Stop the steal" was the bleat of the Trumpenproletariat in the wake of the 2020 election that rejected their orange deity. It was an explicit charge that Democrats stole the election. And like everything that Republicans charge others of, it is projection. They were the ones trying to steal the election, not just from Biden, but from the American people, a majority of who rejected Trump--twice.

But now Republicans are already starting the steal for 2024:

"The White House does see a risk in the possibility that Republicans—whether local election officials, GOP-controlled state legislatures, or a potential Republican majority in the U.S. House or Senate—will refuse to certify clear Democratic wins in the 2022 and 2024 elections. The senior Democrat told me, “Given how things have developed since January 6, if the situation is not brought under some control and this isn’t countered effectively, then I think there is a significant risk” that “Republican officials, unlike the ones we saw standing up to pressure in 2020, are going to decline to certify Democratic victories.” If Republicans hold the House, Senate, or both after the 2024 election, that could allow Congress to try to install a GOP president even if clear evidence exists that the Democrat won."
