Heritage and ALEC have been working, together, to write the archaic voter suppression laws that are being passed by Republican legislatures in Georgia, Texas, and other states.
Both of those organizations were founded by Paul Weyrich.
Weyrich is also the reason that abortion was weaponized as a political wedge, to consolidate evangelical voters under the Republican Party - and, originally to deny Jimmy Carter a second term.
In 1981, after working to elect Reagan with the evangelical vote, he founded the CNP with Rev. Tim LaHaye - an evangelical preacher, head of the "Moral Majority," and author of the rapturous Left Behind series.
As early as August, 2020, CNP was issuing dark and apocalyptic warnings that Dems were going to steal the election, amplifying paranoid conspiracy theories, and telling its members that "We have to do everything we can to win."
By Nov 6, the CNP, Heritage, Turning Point (funded by recently deceased Foster Friess), Koch Network groups, and others, were all working to fund and coordinate efforts to fabricate a "grassroots" movement to overturn the results of the election.
Before the insurrection, we knew that there were thirteen Senators who planned to block the certification of Joe Biden's election, and we knew that they were all funded by the Koch Network.
I am not trying to imply that they will get away with it.
This is just further evidence (if we needed any more) for why Dems need to drop all of the bipartisanship efforts on a commission, and create a Select Committee to investigate the insurrectikn, sooner rather than later.
Remember, on a private call with Republicans about HR-1, Koch’s Research Director said “there’s a large, very large, chunk of conservatives who are supportive of these types of efforts.”
And so he said they would need to use “under-the-dome-type strategies” to stop it.
I’m not one to “visit the sins” of a man on his brother, but no one will ever convince me that it’s a good idea to have someone in a position of power when his siblings are in extremely compromising situations.
Not to mention his own unanswered questions around Jan 6 & DC riots.
To be clear, this was already in the works before Biden took office.
Trump promoted Charles Flynn at the end of November.
