Well, to be fair, there was a self-decribed cabal of sorts that worked to change election laws, curtail protests, and pressure social media companies leading up to the 2020 election.
Whether what they did was in any way illicit or undermines the integrity of U.S. elections is of course up for debate, but the fact that a secret coordinated effort of powerful people "conspired" (if you will) to influence the outcome of the election is I think well established.

- duxup 5y agoThat's not fair, that's just some unrelated thing...
- cronix 5y agoYeah, different cabal.
- mkr-hn 5y agoCabals really should coordinate better to avoid confusion.
- booleandilemma 5y agoIs it time to disrupt cabals?
- mkr-hn 5y agoWhere's Y Cabalnator when you need it?
- lliamander 5y agoI didn't claim it was all the same cabal. However, it's very likely there are some actors with membership in both.
- lliamander 5y agoIt was a conspiracy that the original twitter thread brought up, and you seemed to be criticizing conspiratorial thinking in general. My point was that, of the conspiracies mentioned by the original user, the conspiracy to influence the 2020 election was openly acknowledged by its participants.
- duxup 5y agoI guess I don't really understand the idea that "oh there was a conspiracy of some sort, sometime..." when it has no connection to the claimed conspiracy. Seems like that's a common refrain from conspiracy theory fans, when they can't find evidence for their claim 'well there was another thing' comes up.... I'm not sure what they're trying to say.
