I'm here with Brent Cates, who does a lot of great political analysis on Twitter with some epic Twitter threads.

You've got to check him out and his brother, who is a journalist for the Epoch Times.

Welcome to the show, Brent.

Hello, Sean. Thank you for inviting me.

So you've been doing a great job really capturing the emotional and the rational side of our

collective reaction to the election chaos. Can you walk me through what you think happened? Because, you know, we had National Guard deployed

in these Democratic-controlled areas where voting fraud is suspected. Do you think this was a sting

operation? Okay, 16 states activated. That doesn't mean they necessarily deployed, but they

activated their National Guard,

meaning they had them ready to roll out if they needed them. I'm not sure how many were rolled out last night.

There was some activity out at the NDC just outside the White House, Antifa was up to their usual, you know,

atrocious, atrocious shenanigans.

But when it comes to what happened last night,

I have to admit I was shocked.

I was a bit dismayed that it wasn't the, because if you've been following my threads, I was shocked. I was a bit dismayed that it wasn't the,

because if you've been following my threads,

I was predicting a,

a Maga slide,

just an absolute overwhelming mandate

was going to be handed to Trump

and they wouldn't be able to cheat their way

to victory.
