Jeebus, I'm so confused about what The Big Lie is these days. Is The Big Lie that Trump won? Is The Big Lie that Biden won? Seeing as the term was coined by Hitler, maybe we ought let Trump have it. The Big Liar. Große Lüge. Didn't McConnell try to co-opt it for (er, against) HR1 as well? What a mess these lying liars have made.neeneko wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 11:02 am I wonder how much impact this fracturing is really 'fracturing' though. By having both the audit and the pushback against the audit within the same party, seems to me that they can claim to be either way depending on what a particular voter wants to hear. Want a party that is fighting the good fight for stolen votes? The GoP is behind you! Want a party that is fighting the good fight against the Big Lie? The GoP is behind you! By playing both sides of this fight, they can count on blind loyalty to retain voters of both persuasions. It is less a fracture and more dual marketing.
Oh, and they will keep that crap alive as long as it serves their purposes, which to me look primarily like a) keeping Trump slap happy, and b) FUNDRAISING!
