GA SoS is getting threatened, he and his wife

[question everything]

Can anything like that could have happened were it not for Trump with his inciting words and behaviour?

[SharonAnn]

1. Pretty doubtful. Trump incites violence.

[Cha]

2. That's what maggots do.. but where do

you see that? TY.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Is this the "rule of law" I remember being lectured about by past Republican musings?

They are threatening their own.....

[Mr. Ected]

4. All those 2nd amendment nutcases said they'd spring into action if our democracy was ever threatened

Turns out they are all on the side of the folks threatening our democracy, and have been all along.

5. Not surprised. That's the kind of people

that are in his party these days. Garbage people. It wouldn't keep him from being threatened, but maybe he ought to think about switching parties. One would think he would reflect on his choice of party after being menaced and attempted coercion from Lindsey Graham. At the very least, if I were in his shoes, I'd become an independent.

[JudyM]

6. Right. And he said it was more than just Graham.

[LuvNewcastle]

7. It's outrageous how there are such different rules for

Republicans than for Democrats. What if there was a recount in Maryland and Elizabeth Warren was calling the Democratic SoS there and directing him to throw away Republican ballots? It would be the biggest scandal since Watergate. Nothing will be done to Graham Cracker or anyone else, though.

9. I think the Republican party should

split in 2 - the crazies and the sane. With that split, the dems could regain power and fix the county while they sort things out, with the sane prevailing. (Hey, don't mess with my fantasy)

Then - we could get back to debating actual policies with a balanced SC, no gerrymandering, no EC, and politicians on both sides would work to appeal to the actual voters via policy.

We do need a check on each other. Not everyone is as far left liberal as I am and that's okay. Vigorous debate on substance is good but it has been a very long time since that existed. We used to have that at our family dinner table with my conservative father and liberal mother presiding

12. The base won't vote for sane people.

(Sorry if I messed with your fantasy.)

[LuvNewcastle]

13. I like your fantasy.

I think if the sane Republicans left and formed a party, though, you would also have some of the more conservative Democrats go and join them. So you would likely end up with a 30% GOP, a 40% x party, and a 30% Democrats, which might work if you can get the liberals and the moderates to form a coalition. It wouldn't be perfect, but it would be better than now, for sure.

8. Elections officials have been threatened in the past for decertifying "voting" machines or trying to

expose problems with them.

[Lucinda]

10. ...

[Crunchy Frog]

11. The country's been heading towards this point for decades IMO.

If it hadn't happened with Trump, it would have eventually happened with somebody else.

You can tell that by the behavior of congressional and state level Rs.

The GA SoS actually has some integrity, so he's now an enemy of the new fascist Trump Party.

14. Perhaps COVID will take care of them all? Shouldn't they be given the placebo instead

of the actual vaccine since they all believe that COVID is fake? Fake vaccine for the fake virus.
