If they are really trying to close the sale strategically in such a close election, why are their two closing messages (1) the dark night of fascism descending in America if Trump wins and (2) apocalyptic rhetoric about how every woman in America will die if we don’t have totally unrestricted abortion? Why is this campaign now being waged on The Man in the High Castle meets The Handmaid’s Tale? ...

They were always going to end this way, whipping their supporters into a frenzy and ignoring all messages that aren’t dialed all the way to eleven. If Democrats seem to be in a rage, a panic, or a tantrum in the campaign’s final week, that’s because that was the plan all along.
