Mike Pence has come out with a letter saying he does not support removing Trump with a few days to go. It was a wild card with how he went on counting the votes.

Time for a headcount. Who in Authority is still on President Trump's side and what can they do now?
Fourth-generation warfare (4GW) is conflict characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians.
Fourth-generation warfare is defined as conflicts which involve the following elements:
⚠ Complex and long term
⚠ Terrorism (tactic)
⚠ A non-national or transnational base – highly decentralized
⚠ A direct attack on the enemy's culture, including genocidal acts against civilians.
⚠ Highly sophisticated psychological warfare and propaganda, especially through media manipulation, internet trolls, bots and lawfare
⚠ All available pressures are used – political, economic, social and military
⚠ Occurs in low-intensity conflict, involving actors from all networks
⚠ Non-combatants are tactical dilemmas
⚠ Lack of hierarchy
⚠ Small in size, spread out network of communication and financial support
⚠ Use of insurgency tactics as subversion, terrorism and guerrilla tactics
⚠ Decentralised forces
We are no longer fighting a defined adversary in a defined battlespace for a defined period of time. Instead the 5th generation mission space is a continuous global battle of narratives that will play out over both virtual and physical space and encompass a range of violent and non-violent actions and effects.
And so to war...The slow escalation through the phases towards the open commitment of military forces in phase 5 will be achieved with subtly and ambiguity to such an existent that it will be difficult to know at which point the phase of conflict has changed. It will be extremely difficult to set ‘Red Lines’ and threshold for when to act. We may well find ourselves way past the point of intervention without having realized we were even in a contest, akin to the fable of the boiling frog. In this event the adversaries setting of the narrative will have achieved, at least partially, the desired outcome, without the commitment of forces to the lethal fight. To paraphrase Sun Tzu, This is the supreme art of 5th Generation War.
However, in 5GW, the state of war will never be declared as the adversary will seek to impose its values on another through the cognitive effect. The next conflict, be it between a state, a non-state or a combination of the two, will certainly be an economic and a social contest, whether or not it becomes a lethal military fight: it will be a contest over the cognitive mission space.

Psychological Operations. The question is which branch.

That works on multiple levels. The most desperate to believe this letter will be the least informed on the points you made.
If true, psyops could easily exploit the gap in knowledge.
Furthermore, imagine RINOs or Republicans in general, like McConnel or whoever, on top of supporting Trump, personally voting for him....only to see their vote stolen by The Great Fraud of 2020, how could these guys now turn on him in his Darkest Hour™ after staying with him over 4 years and witnessing all of the other Democrat scams.
How could this be?

Absolutely, but if nothing was going on, it wouldn't exist. But as it does, we know something IS going on.
I know what side I'm on, and at this point, I'm just watching. When the echoes ricochet around the world, I'll do my part in what needs to be done here in the UK... if God wills it anyway. Quite honestly, I actually think we're on track for a total shift in reality, which will change everything... and even the Q aren't in on that. But many things have to happen first. The end of one book, and the beginning of another.
It's all out of our hands at this point. There is all the proof I need to just sit and wait... but without concern.
