Two things:
1) If I were trying to sabotage any momentum coming out of this, I'd direct you away from the election and into, I cannot believe this, building a parallel government
2) An authoritarian regime will just dismantle this, and probably shoot you, if it comes near challenging them
I saw that and thought it was the dumbest idea I've seen all day. I hadn't thought of it possibly having a nefarious purpose but that's a failure of my imagination
