      I think the best we can hope for is that his voters just stay away from the polls.

        just start a conspiracy theory

        something along the lines of ‘the voting machines will turn their flat earth round’ 🤷

            This is probably the most succinct and most effective campaign that could be made for them. Hats off to you

          MTG is the clever one. She bailed out just before the upcoming election.

          Look for her to get a pundit gig and a book deal, then be rested and ready for 2028.

            I don’t think she is going back, I think she legitimately hated it. She has her Congressional pension, she has her deals lined up. Why abandon the cushy private money to go back?

        You’re right. Republicans are so poisoned, and their hatred of Democrats is so intense, they will never, ever vote for them.

      The fact that they supported him in the first place is just crazy to me. Like homosexual and trans republicans, the concept just boggles my mind.
