So let me see if I have this straight.
If Republicans vote to convict, half the base will turn their backs on the party and never look back... Hello third party spoiler.
Or...
If they acquit, their immediate and mid-term future is at the whim of a double grease burger, two scoops eating, pu**y grabbing, criminal law suit dodging, insurrection inciting, sedition scheming, twice impeached, tin foil, fake-blonde, golfing meatloaf, who systematically lost them the House, the Senate and the White House.
A dilema indeed...

Oh...
oddly, i'm assured by all my right-wing correspondents, that QAnon plays no part in Republican politics and is merely a disaffected fringe manifestation of working-class unhappiness. of "patriotism", even.
I'm totally confused, now.
i might have to do an incidental note on QAnon, to learn me gooder.

he's under the impression that the Republican party hasn't already severed.

Oddly related to your question, "why has this been dismissed for decades?" in post #99
Because Republicanism is a minority that needs every vote it can get, and that means inviting white supremacists and conspiracy nuts into the tent.
Once they're there, you can't disavow them.
To be clear, not every Republican is a white supremacists or conspiracy nut, but all the white supremacists and conspiracy nuts are Republican.

pretty much. i edited 66 to include this link that you might not have seen.
The 1960s GOP show how tactical extremism can salvage a party’s electoral fortunes.
The rise of Trump and Brexit has reminded that we are never too far away from the politics of extremes. But these sorts of trends are nothing new, argue Jon X. Eguia and Francesco Giovannoni. Looki…

I'm starting to think that letting Biden steal the election was the only way to force a lot of people to wake up to reality. Things are just getting started.

There are approximately 255 million Americans who are of voting age, approximately 96 million didn't vote. Eighty one million of the 159 Million voters, voted for Biden. If Terrence K Williams stopped to think about those numbers for a second, the light bulb would switch on in his head.
This literally makes no sense.

Makes perfect sense. Now that the election has been stolen, primarily with mail in ballots, they can say that mail voting is not secure when it suits them.
