Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The Republican-led Maricopa County Board of Supervisors condemned the state Senate's GOP-led audit of the county's 2020 election results as a "sham" in a letter Monday. In a letter to GOP senators announcing that the board will cease all cooperation with the GOP state senators' efforts, the board accused state senators of allowing Arizona to become a "laughingstock" as they pursued discredited, false claims of election fraud perpetrated by former President Trump. Are they beyond manufacturing evidence now though? They don’t seem capable at this point of accepting reality, which leaves them with the sole option of constructing their own. Fortunately the courts have mostly stuck with the reality the rest of us all live in thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'm genuinely curious if these diehard MAGA drones actually think that "all of these fraudulent states flip to Trump, who is given the presidency back" is an actual thing that can happen. I know I was a complete doomposter between November and January (more so than usual anyway), but it's been stated repeatedly that there are no mechanisms in place to change election results after all of the results are ratified. Conservative pundits seem to know this, and are just using the "audit" as fuel for outrage and a way of coping with the fact that they lost. Even the most radical voices are saying that it's going to take full-on civil war to actually re-install Trump once enough "justification" is found. That said, I absolutely believe that some people's brains are so broken to the point that they think Trump will just waltz back into the White House and it'll be like when Simba re-took Pride Rock.

You don't have to prove you're right, you just have to sling shit until some people can't tell who is right, and others can use it as an excuse to believe what they wanted to believe anyway. It's just that we've never really seen it applied to something like a near statewide recount before. So it feels new. It's all a pretext to justify voter restriction, but I noticed in just the past day or two there is a rift forming even among the Trump wing. Lindsey Grahmn said yesterday he accepted the election results, but reading everything he said I think the difference becomes clear. Republicans want to use this recount and the outrage of 2020 to win in 2022. Trump and his true believers seem to hold some delusion of actually overturning the 2020 election and imagine some path to actually installing him back in the White House in the next year or two. Some Republicans are starting to realize Trump is serious about this. And I think they realize if Trump goes all in on this specific delusion it could result in 2020 being a Georgia type own goal, but on a massive scale.
