Are we doing this again?
Yep. THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. AGAIN. FOR SOME REASON.
Honestly. I can not fathom how fucking stupid republiQans are.
FOR SOME REASON.
How many of the perpetrators of the attempt to hijack the 2020 election are actually going to jail?
You mean the seditionist terrorists? Or the fake electors.
Take your pick.
The fake electors and their financiers and lawyers are the root of the problem, the dumbasses they got to bumrush the capitol were just disposable shock troops (who also definitely deserve their jail cells, but that’s just treating symptoms instead of the disease)
The Brooks Brothers Rioters were fundamental to Bush Jr’s win. And quite a few of them went on to infest future administrations.
Roger Stone continued to ratfvck for the party for the next quarter century. Rory Cooper continues to work as a ranking political strategist for the RNC. Matt Schlapp even became Trump’s Political Director.
I guarantee you that they all had their hands in the fake elector scandal to some degree.
This means they’re afraid. Good.
It means they’re going to riot regardless of who wins and try to ratfuck every election with a modicum of doubt.
Didn’t work the first time. Won’t work the second time either because literally everyone will be ready and prepared for that, unlike last time.
Didn’t work the first time.
It did work the first time. The Brooks Brothers’ Riots secured the presidency for George Bush Jr.
During the J6 riots, Congress was being evacuated within minutes of the rioters storming the capital. Had a bunch of Senators gotten pinned down in an office, they wouldn’t have been able to ratify Biden hours later from a secure location and Trump’s friends in the state legislatures and the courts would have enjoyed more room to reverse the election results.

Journalists were predicting the J6 riot days before it actually happened. My wife signed up for Telegram the day before because she was curious about all the reports, and got to watch events play out in real time from the perspective of live-streamers. The Capital Police either fumbled the ball because of raw incompetence or deliberately understaffed the venue to enable rioters to raid the building. In either case, nothing has changed to suggest they can’t do that shit again.
That’s assuming the Republicans don’t go back to the more tried-and-true method of a GOP governor in a purple state using the pretext of a riot in a blue district to stop counting votes while the Republican has the lead. This is almost what happened in Georgia and Arizona. It could easily happen again.
No, “Hanging Chad”, and the idiocy to preserve norms and just concede instead of challenging the election results in Florida and other states is how GBJ got into office.
Abruptly ending the counting was a predicate for all of that.
Remember that Trump had a 150,000 vote lead when he tried to shut down the recount in Pennsylvania. And that state ended up +80,000 for Biden. Florida came down to just above 400 votes before the riot shut down the ballot counting process.
