I'm about to become wildly unpopular ...

7. The motivation is simple, fear that "the fix is in"

Not necessarily a definite knowledge of what that "fix" is, but that based on events of the past few decades, that outcome is a distinct possibility.

Maybe I'm not as pessimistic as I often think. When I see those posts, I read most of them as a warning or reminder. Not that anyone is willing to give up, but a reminder of how bad it might turn out and that we can't give up.

Some may be trying to discourage, but I do think most are simply terrified that may be how it turns out. We know republicons are working feverishly to lie cheat and steal. We can't just be pollyannas, put on rose colored glasses, sit back and say "things will work out". Because that definitely won't "just happen".

Maybe people should just word those kinds of posts better to make the intent more clear.
