Trump Supporters in Georgia Threaten to Destroy GOP, Boycott Runoff Elections

President Donald Trump supporters protesting the outcome of the 2020 election have a new and surprising opponent: the Republican Party.

A viral video of protesters, as well as posts on social media platform Parler, indicate that Trump supporters are looking to boycott the upcoming Georgia Senate runoff elections.


?s=20

A video, shared on Twitter on Saturday, shows a protester speaking into a mic criticizing Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who are both Republicans. The protester calls them "traitors."

Seemingly reacting to certification from Georgia election officials that President-elect Joe Biden had indeed won the Peach State following an election recount, the protesters disavowed the GOP.

He doesn't have any ideals, other than his desperate need to be rich and idolized. To attain that, he'd say and do pretty much anything. If we luck out, he'll start his own party and split the Republican vote, giving us the majority.

Is Trump vindictive and sick enough to lead a minority of mouth-breathing anarchists? We all know he is.

Mediaite: Tearful Caller Tells Rush Limbaugh He’s Willing to Die for Trump: He’s ‘Given More to This Country Than Anybody’

“We just can’t do it anymore!” he exclaimed. “We’re tired of being stabbed in the back, Rush! It’s better to have an enemy that’s in front of you than a friend that’s behind you that’s just going to stab you. They do it every time. We have a Republican-controlled state and they won’t do an audit of the vote. They won’t. They basically just told every Georgian that they don’t care.

The only difference between the 9/11 hijackers and these people is that the hijackers had access to flight cabins. These Republicans will scream "MAGA Trump 2020!" instead of "Allahu akbar!" if they could take us down with them. There is no air between al Qaeda terrorists and Trump supporters regarding the use of nihilism to achieve their ends.

very stern with him. After all, McConnell's own precious power is at stake, as well as the senate majority to be used to stop Democratic advances. We don't know if Trump has ever been (secretly) forced to understand the great power congressional leaders could bring against him, but if not he'd be in for a really unpleasant learning experience.

Lock him up.

They still won't get their way, and will in fact make it difficult in the future.

Why, it's almost as if their entire shoot-own-feet shtick is nothing more than a pathetic cry for attention. What do you think, Matt Lubchansky?
