No. That’s what they want you to think. It does know a lot more than we think, but nowhere near everything. It likely does know where your phones (aka you if you’re with it) are at all times, despite having GPS on or off.

There will be a massive blue wave, but Republicans aren’t simply letting themselves be Constitutionally and democratically removed from power. They’re not leaving or losing, they know this is their last stand and will do anything to keep power. They’ve said they will cheat, not accept results, and essentially coup the government when they lose.
