Despite signing Georgia’s GOP-led restrictive voting rights legislation into law, Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) reputation among fellow Republicans hangs in the balance following his refusal to do then-President Trump’s bidding of overturning the 2020 presidential election results.

O/T but when I worked in a bookstore just out of college I accidentally (?) entered the title of a history book of that ill-fated expedition into the database as “A History of the Dinner Party.”
The fratricidal fight within the Republican Party won’t be vicious everywhere, but several Republicans in Georgia are “going to go through some things.” The same is true, as I see it, in Arizona, and probably in Ohio, where the Republican state legislature has worked to impeach Republican governor Mike DeWine for paying attention to public health, and where the upcoming Republican primary for the Senate seat will be an important indicator for the Republicans in the state.
There are opportunities for Democrats in all of these places. Let’s keep donating to Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight and like-minded organizations.
But yeah some bleeding heart idiots tell us that democrats ought to reach out to rural white voters. Fuck them, we ought to teach them what “pulling yourself by your bootstraps” is all about.
All of this confirms my opinion that with Republicans, more than Dems, that they set themselves up to eat their own. There are people in this Trumplican party that love to point out their purity, while condemning their own members for following the law.
They really should just change their name to “Can’t Fix Stupid Party”.
