Election Deniers Who Lost In Midterms Advance Trumpian ‘Precinct Strategy’ As State GOP Chairs

Since losing their midterm elections, several election deniers have sought leadership positions within their state Republican parties, all part of a national play by Trump supporters and Big Lie enthusiasts to keep election denialism alive and well, while they seek more control over local elections.

Frist!

The third reich wasn’t built in a day.

Sorry I can’t be any more uplifting, but this crap frightens more than humors. My one hope is they continue to sink the Republican Trumpist Party to the point it can be drowned in a bathtub, to coin the phrase by Saint Ronnie.

Any sane Republicans need to get busy running for precinct delegate if they want to take their party back.

The other thing about crazy fraudmongers is that they tend to be uninformed and not very good at following rules. So expect to a a bunch of embezzlement and misappropriation of party funds for personal enrichment, plus various other violations. Any investigations of which will be screamed about as political persecution.

The only silver lining I can see about this is that they nominate more and more cray-cray candidates. I mean, please proceed…

In this rural Arizona county they are electeds, and they are giving themselves control of elections. Don’t be misled by the customary Arizona McNews euphemisms. These people are straight-up deniers. Secretary of State (now Governor) Hobbs had to go to court for an order forcing them to certify the results of last November’s election. The county elections director then resigned in disgust. They are now moving in to fill the vacuum.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon first promoted the idea on his “War Room” podcast in 2021. “We’re going to take this back village idiot by village idiot,” he said

There. Fixed.

But it’s still terrifying, and this is how you wake up one day to find that you have no recourse to the coup.

The refusal of the Cray-Cray to accept some 70 precinct delegates (many.l of whom are prior leading Republicans) elected by the voters is both despicable and dangerous.

Fortunately, the voters reacted to the choices the Republicans made at their state convention by turning the state over to the Democrats.

Any sane and honest decent Republican who has any shame left the party long ago.

Or as Andrew Sullivan, a person I only mildly dislike, said on the second Tuesday of November 2004, “any conservative with principles voted for John Kerry last week.”

Ronnie was stupid, hateful, and mean and was my governor for a while so I’m speaking from experience, and I’m sorry the Secret Service got in the way of the bullet intended for him in 1981 but he didn’t say that bathtub thing. It was Grover Norquist, another stupid, hateful and mean repub strategist.

Lobbyist Grover Norquist is a well-known proponent of the strategy and has famously said, “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”
