Bahahaha holy crap, I just watched a video pointing out that if Republican politicians keep supporting ballot conspiracy theories, they will be forced

to challenge the results of the Senate and House election results as well. They are either going to be forced to step down from claims of election fraud or open up a can of worms where everything gets investigated again by official channels which will just reconfirm there was no fraud. This is going nowhere

This is their greatest problem. They paint themselves into corners. If they say the election was fair, they lose the (inexplicable) support of Trump and insinuate the (horror!) possibility of working with the Dems, alienating their conservative base. If they support the Big Lie, they move against the substantial will of the people and popular opinion, which also threatens their hold.

They're doing the same with taxes. If the oppose taxes for the rich, they ostracize themselves from the average American voter and clearly side with Big Business. If they agree it's necessary to help the US progress, they're again siding with the "Others" and will lose the ineffective, near-meaningless but oddly alluring support of their rabid conservative base.

@Graylight I remember back in 2000, when Al Gore was contesting the election results. I don't seem to recall Democrats acting the way Republicans are now. Strange.

@LordShadowfire Four years of "get over it" somehow morphed into "it's all a lie and we refuse to listen and we'll just change the rules anyway." Proud times.
