Most Republicans are stupid fucking assholes.

New York Times

Republicans are leaning into Donald Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 election.

Across the country, a group of Republican challengers are running on the “Stop the Steal” fallacy, touted by protesters above. If elected, they would bring the G.O.P.’s assault on the legitimacy of elections — a bedrock of American democracy — to Congress.

But it might not work. In Arizona, an extravagantly flawed “audit” of the swing state’s election is alienating some Republicans. Polls say it will hurt the G.O.P. in 2022. Still, state party leaders continue the count.

And Trump plans to resume regular rallies this summer. That will help him spread his message, but despite social media bans and his blog’s low-readership, loyal supporters still pushed Trump’s words out on their feeds.
