Conservative Chatter On Polls And Post-Election Shenanigans

Conservatives have been right about almost all the major issues that have been of interest to me over the  past five years or so. The jury is still, to some extent, out on the Wuhan virus / batflu--but they generally argued that it was on the lower end of dangerous, closer to being a seasonal flu--whereas progressives and the progressive media have consistently overestimated the threat. That is: after the initial, groundless dismissals we got in February and March. 
   Conservatives were right about Russiagate from the beginning, and progressives were 180 degrees wrong. I said that if conservatives ended up being right about Russiagategate, it was game (etc.) over. And they did. 
   Then came the Hunter Biden accusations. We're not sure yet, but conservatives look righter and righter about that all the time. But the MSM has suppressed it--as they did with Russiagategate--so there hasn't really been an open public investigation. 
   What has conservative chatter about the election been like? Something like this:
  • The polls will show a wide Biden lead early on. (That's for the purposes of shutting down GOP turnout.)
  • The polls will tighten late in the race, but will still show a Biden lead.
  • The polls will turn out to be wrong / Trump will win (perhaps by an electoral landslide).
  • The Dems will engage in voter fraud, counting and recounting shenanigans, etc.
  • Blue-team types will turn violent if Trump wins, or if such violence can keep him from winning.
I don't know what will happen. I do find it difficult to believe that Biden-Harris will win. Just at a gut level, they remind me of...oh...something like Monday [MONDALE...Jesus Christ, autocorrect.] -Ferraro...but lamer. (Note: my vote for Mondale-Ferraro was my first vote in a presidential election. I regret nothing!) 
   But I don't know what to think about the polls.
   So I just don't know.
   One of the more important hopes among conservatives seems to be that the polls will be ostentatiously wrong, and that this will finally get the non-conservative public to see that the media has no credibility / cannot be trusted.
   Anyway. If conservatives turn out to be right yet again, I'll be...I mean, I guess I'll be astounded. I think this would be an absolutely astonishing record of being right, and that even I would have to downgrade my already low opinion of the contemporary blue team. It would reveal something very important about the two major factions and their worldviews.

[Oh, also: conservatives are much, much righter on all the crazy woke bullshit than the left. But that goes without saying.]
