A Historic Day for the Republican Party

[rightwinger]

1. What is lost in the chaos of today is that Republicans lost a Senate they were in firm control of. They lost TWO seats in solid RED Georgia. The wild rants of the President and accusations of fraud in Georgia elections played a key role.

2. Congressional Republicans engaged in wild political theater to attempt to get a Vice President to overrule the will of the States and to get Senators and Congressmen to disallow the will of the people.

3. A defeated Republican President filled an angry mob with lies and misinformation and sent them to spill their wrath on a Congress in session. A woman was killed.

This, I think, is the end of Trump as a force in the Republican party. He is being condemned by everyone who matters.

Yes and no.

Trump might soon be gone but ‘Trumpism’ will remain a compelling force in the GOP.

Blood on all those bastards hands. Good, I said it first.

Now this... I would like to congratulate our two newest US Senators in Georgia and especially the good folks in GA who voted to save this country and maybe the world.

This could be the end of the republican party.

Almost certainly the end of tRump's influence.

Firm control of?

they barely had a majority.


and now, it's 50-50.

One devastating case of Covid, car accident, heart attack, and a republican governor could replace a democrat with a republican senator to fill out the term.

Keep your fingers crossed

We'll see how the votes go when they reconvene. I think there is zero chance that the objections stop.

Or not.

Having lived and studied American politics for the last 50 years, don’t be surprised if Republicans control Congress come 2023.

They’ll continue to control most of the state houses.

And they control the judiciary.

Counting the GOP out would be a mistake.

All I can say is the robots aren't here yet. I hope they stay away those fn anti-American AH's.

Pence and McConnell did not mention him by name but I am willing to bet they are very angry...

So far one Republican has withdrawn their fight over the Arizona EC.

To continue the argument would make them look complicit with the events today..
