Lol I love this clownish argument where people cite Trump's totals after voter access got expanded (but then same people can't believe Biden got 81M)

Trump in 2016: 46.1%
Trump in 2020: 46.9%
Romney in 2012: 47.2%

Romney just faced a better candidate.
Trump BARELY won one race against the least likable Dem nominee in recent history while losing the popular vote.

He attracted some new working-class voters to Republicans, but also alienated a ton of suburban voters with his antics.
More importantly, those who tried to imitate him did terribly. It's really indisputable that Republicans did significantly better in elections 2010-2014 than 2016-2020. The Republicans who won managed weren't the ones that tried to copy Trump.
And btw a big reason for the gains Trump did have with certain groups is that Democrats moved to the far-far left. That should have given Republicans a huge opportunity for big gains, but Trump alienated too many voters.

As Cotton points out, Congress has no role in deciding elections, selecting electors, or adjudicating election disputes. Pretending otherwise is just dangerous abuse that will further erode our system of Constitutional government.
Seriously have to respect Cotton for this. The long-term consequences and limits on Congress' role he cites are apparent and known to other politicians that are instead choosing to ignore them for personal political gain.
Since it's obvious certain people have been misinforming others: There is no Congressional role that allows them to object to properly certified electoral votes. Those proposing to vote no on January 6th are clearly exceeding the Constitutional and statutory limits.

Again, this isn't about voter fraud. Trump doesn't care about the truth, he just wants officials to try to steal the election for him.

And those officials keep getting attacked for instead standing up for their constituents by refusing to do so.
You can listen to the actual audio! This isn't a claim by someone else. It's crazy. Trump just promotes several ridiculous conspiracies, the GA officials tell him they are false, and then he demands they just somehow find exactly enough votes for him to win.
Here is the audio if you can't access the article:

I am seriously worried about the future of our Republic. The reason I worry is because our system is seriously at risk as a direct result of the quality of our elected officials. They are completely unable/unwilling to do what is right at any point.

To explain:
In Federalist 10, James Madison wrote about the problem of factions and how they destroy governments and societies. In that essay, he specifically explained we are set up as a Republic to fight against factionalism, which runs rampant in a direct democracy.
When a group/faction gets together and pursues a particular objective (even if it is bad and undermines society), then it is hard for anyone to fight against it in a direct democracy. They have the votes so they can force everyone else to go down their preferred path.

They will regret it for the simple reason that it will keep them from getting what they want. Aside from being the wrong thing to do and bad for the country, it is politically short-sighted.

Mistake a lot of ppl make is assuming the cultish devotees represent the whole party.
They are doing this to appease 20-30% of the base, but in doing so will alienate many others in the Republican base. A lot of Republicans aren't slavishly devoted to Trump. They voted for him bc of the options in front of them, but are ready to move on bc he lost.
The few Senators leading this are doing this for 2024, but in 2024 they are going to have potential competition that didn't alienate the other parts of the base but can also still appeal to the Trump segment (Haley, DeSantis, Scott).

It’s incredible how often you manage to prove to people that they are exactly right about the type of person that you are.
Reminder:
Not going to argue over what was said in that video (which Rupar, as usual, is misrepresenting), but how sick do you have to be to try to score point on a man who just died and his grieving family? There has to be something seriously wrong in your head to think that’s acceptable.

Incredible. Every single conspiracy related to voter fraud has fallen apart. And every time, they just make up a new one and demand you disprove it. Here is the latest one being destroyed.
What GA has done is unprecedented. They did a full-state hand recount to disprove the Dominion conspiracy, and now a signature audit to disprove the absentee conspiracy. All in an election that wasn’t that close to appease a sore loser and a bunch of conspiracy theorists.
And during that whole time, the 3 leading Republican state officials (Kemp etc.) were attacked, smeared, and threatened because a bunch of clowns promoted baseless and dumb conspiracies without any evidence.
