Dozens of former Bush officials leave Republican Party, calling it 'Trump cult'

30% are conspiracy nutters because the supreme court refused to hear the case he supposedly had about election fraud, and actual forensic evidence with the voting machines was sealed by almost all state attorney generals. Had the system heard whatever case he had, even if it was nothing, we could disprove it once and for all and people would accept it more willingly if they could see the evidence or lack thereof. Even if you don't think it's credible, it still has a lot of sway with almost half of the population and should be heard no matter what to prevent what happened. I don't blame Trump, I blame our justice system for what happened to the capital.

  1. Those morons were conspiracists long before the election. Qanon, pizzagate, etc etc. The GOP has an issue with dealing in truth it would seem.

  2. If Republicans had a problem with the way states were going to hold elections in 2020, they needed to file suit BEFORE the election to overturn the new rules. You can’t just disenfranchise thousands of voters who thought they were voting legally after the fact. This goes to all of the mail-in ballot and Covid specific election laws that Big Brain Rudy Giuliani was trying to litigate. Just utter incompetence from start to finish. Typical.

  3. So you’re saying the Supreme Court wasn’t fair to Trump or the red states that brought that particular suit? Despite its 6 to 3 conservative majority where three of the conservative justices nominated were by Trump? Gee, wonder why that might be...?

...oh wait, I know!

The Supreme Court refused to hear the case because none of the plaintiffs had any right to sue in the first place.

Per the Constitution, it’s up to individual states to decide how they want to run elections. We used to have a check on this at the federal level only for issues regarding racial discrimination via the Civil Rights Act and the conservative Supreme Court gutted it not too long ago. But I digress...

Texas is not allowed to sue Pennsylvania (or AZ or GA) because they don’t like the way folks hold elections in PA. That is literally all there is to it.

Is PA allowed to sue Louisiana over the way they limit access to abortion? Unfortunately, no. I thought Republicans understood this kind of shit?
