The statement 'lol. The long con is gearing up.' is a reply in a conversation that touches on significant public issues, including election integrity and the presence of controversial rhetoric on social media platforms. The conversation includes a reference to an image that is highly provocative and inflammatory, depicting a well-known individual in Nazi attire, which is likely intended to criticize or satirize that individual. The statement itself appears to be sarcastic and dismissive, potentially implying that concerns about election fraud are part of a deceptive or manipulative strategy ('long con').
