“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion." Chomsky......due to the call he made to various state officials trying to convince them to change the result of their election, which Biden won. An act that was included in the single article of impeachment. Would you be astonished, as I am, to learn GA Repubs are trying to amend their constitution in order to protect Dear Leader?
Georgia Republicans Are Trying to Change the Rules for Fani Willis’s Prosecution of Donald Trump for Election Crimes
It’s been less than a week since Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis publicly began an investigation into Donald Trump‘s phone call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Georgia Republicans are already trying in earnest to change the rules that apply to prosecutions of election crimes.
Georgia state Republicans introduced a resolution Thursday that seeks to change the Georgia State Constitution to mandate the use of state-wide grand juries in prosecutions involving election crimes. The move would force prosecutors to draw more grand jurors from predominantly Republican rural areas of the state.

Now that's blind devotion, right out in the open. Showing just how important GA Repubs believe the cult of personality surrounding Crooked Donald is to the fortunes of the POT.
That's not the only thing angry Repubs are doing in the wake of Don's defeat.
State GOP lawmakers propose flurry of voting restrictions to placate Trump supporters, spurring fears of a backlash
GOP state lawmakers across the country have proposed a flurry of voting restrictions that they say are needed to restore confidence in U.S. elections, an effort intended to placate supporters of former president Donald Trump who believe his false claims that the 2020 outcome was rigged.
But the effort is dividing Republicans, some of whom are warning that it will tar the GOP as the party of voter suppression and give Democrats ammunition to mobilize their supporters ahead of the 2022 midterms.
The proposals include measures that would curtail eligibility to vote by mail and prohibit the use of ballot drop boxes. One bill in Georgia would block early voting on Sundays, which critics quickly labeled a flagrant attempt to thwart Souls to the Polls, the Democratic turnout effort that targets Black churchgoers on the final Sunday before an election.

Pennsylvania G.O.P.’s Push for More Power Over Judiciary Raises Alarms
When the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously rejected a Republican attempt to overturn the state’s election results in November, Justice David N. Wecht issued his own pointed rebuke, condemning the G.O.P. effort as “futile” and “a dangerous game.”
“It is not our role to lend legitimacy to such transparent and untimely efforts to subvert the will of Pennsylvania voters,” wrote Justice Wecht, a Democrat who was elected to a 10-year term on the bench in 2016. “Courts should not decide elections when the will of the voters is clear.”
Now Pennsylvania Republicans have a plan to make it less likely that judges like Justice Wecht get in their way.
Pennsylvania G.O.P.’s Push for More Power Over Judiciary Raises Alarms
It used to be losing elections caused a different kind of response. A recognition of the need to make changes to the party's message, working harder, organizing better, maybe raising more money. The POT's response, perhaps a reflection of Dear Leader's proclivity for cheating (he has done it his whole life), is to change the rules.
“Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy." Orwell
