This is such an astonishingly self-destructive threat it suggests he’s genuinely living in a total fantasy land where Republicans could somehow magically restore him to the White House if only they clapped hard enough.

I *guess* it could be this? Set a task it’s impossible for them to complete as a show of clout? Or even as a bid to replace electeds he’s shown to be “disloyal” (because they couldn’t impossibly reinstate him) with even more pliable stooges?

Or maybe, since they can’t actually “solve” it, just force them to keep talking up his election fraud lie, since it’s the only way they can attempt to abase themselves, but an explicit demand to merely keep talking about it would sound weak?
I think maybe that last one is it. There’s got to be enormous temptation for the majority who know it’s a lie to just move on. He wants them to keep reinforcing his imaginary reality. But he has to frame it as an impossible demand for action, because it sounds “stronger”.
