Georgia Republicans sure are messaging geniuses!

[LawDem]

Which do you think was the better look for the GOP in Georgia? Making it a crime to provide a bottle of water to a voter waiting in a long line to vote or having a black female legislator arrested for knocking on the Governor’s door while he signed a racist bill designed to suppress the black vote, while standing with a bunch of white guys in front of a portrait of a plantation where slaves were kept?

Yup, some kind of PR geniuses those Georgia Republicans.

1. The problem is that ALL three of those things pander to "their" constituents.

[Maraya1969]

10. If everyone were allowed to vote their constituents wouldn't matter because they are

in the minority. And they know that. These attempts are the last gasps of a dying man.

[StClone]

2. As White supremacists, misogynists, and racists

They are eating this up, going ape nuts as the nation watches in horror. This has to be eroding the future of Georgia's Repug Party and I can see it becoming Virginia 2.0.

[hatrack]

3. True, but all three of these things Own Libtards . . .

And in the end, that's all that matters to the coveted Cletus Voting Bloc.

4. They think people are subterranean racists just waiting for a leader.

The GOP seemed confused educated elites did not vote Trump. They should prepare themselves to be dissappointed in the lack of racism in people who just want to peacefully co-exist when push comes to shove.

11. Yes--so out of touch with where society is moving

I know that there are a lot of political calculations that go into what the GOP does, but I truly believe that on some level they have a authentic ignorance as to how far out of touch they are with the rest of society and they way things are heading. Maybe because they spend so much time in their own echo chamber? And the are confusing loud with many (shrinking but loud base).

Stacey Abrahams was absolutely instrumental in turning GA Blue but I honestly believe what the GOP tried to do in GA after Biden won is what might have been that final nudge to get voters out to win both Senate seats in the special election.

15. It becomes a choice, not about a party platform, but about what kind of person you want to be

and what kind of family you raise. It goes against the aspirations of the majority of people. The majority of people want to live good honest lives. A certain percentage don't. I think the egos and narcissism of the leaders in the GOP have them wearing foggy goggles. So we agree.

[crimycarny]

16. +1

As evidenced by lifelong Republicans leaving the party after Trump.

5. It got the message out to their base.

[LawDem]

6. But their base keeps getting smaller

True, but their base keeps getting smaller, while the groups they are offending keep getting bigger.

[Baked Potato]

7. It was so You-know-who could pop a chubby.

[PortTack]

8. Al Franken in an interview on CNN called the stunt in GA a gift to the dems

That it was SOOO bad it will assure some form of HR1/S1 will pass...his exact words

[Guilded Lilly]

9. For Georgia Republican politicians, it has never been about country over their...

Self-serving corruption.
Never doing their sworn in jobs.
Never serving America.
Ever.
They are begging for a beat down.
Very cocky in their arrogance.


Coca Cola
Home Depot
Arby’s
Chick-fil-A
Delta
And more...

Boycot everything with headquarters in Georgia.

[Captain Zero]

19. Don't buy shit if you are driving through Georgia...just keep driving.

12. This must be called Jim Crow II.

Every time.

It will force these knobs to keep trying to explain that this has nothing to do with race, thereby insulting everyone's intelligence.

It has to be named for exactly what it is.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. If that was a serious question, I am firmly of the opinion that NEITHER of those...

...are looks you should want associated with you. They must think they know their audience.

[aggiesal]

14. The governor and his 6 henchmen don't care about the optics to the nation ...

they care about the optics to the constituents that they're pandering to.

[C Moon]

17. A nod and a wink.

[Captain Zero]

18. I'm sure none of them realize RAFFENSBERGER is the best bet they have, actually

if they wanted a leader who would help them redeem themselves to suburbanites.
Rather than that though, they remain clueless and amazingly short-sighted and cruel.

[OnDoutside]

21. Raffensberger is no angel either, nor Sterling. That said, I agree with

the thrust of what you said.

[cstanleytech]

20. Well considering they are playing for the Trump voter base their messaging was spot on.

[marble falls]

22. The only thing wrong is they are sending the exact message they mean to send. They're ...

... getting a twofer: they got their law until a federal court gets a hold pf it; and they have the voter suppression that will come out of the imaging on the side.
