DYK .... the GOP is actually a 'big tent party' who 'embrace free thought and debate' ?

......so sayeth House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. But evidently that debate doesn't extend as far as challenging Donald Trump's lies about a stolen election.

Do these clowns really imagine that this will prove to be a winning formula in the long term ?

Talking out of both sides of his mouth.
Open and inclusive, as long as you dont say anything against that ex president, out loud.

And the long term isnt what they are going for. They just have to make voting more difficult and keep the rabid cult foaming at the mouth for 2022.

@Carla But what happens when the next general election comes around ? Trump , or whoever the anointed one might be , will presumably still be repeating this nonsense.

@RodionRomanovitch maybe. They do need an excuse to keep making it more difficult for marginalized people to vote.
They've said themselves that they cannot win otherwise.

In the very narrow minds of the right leaning citizenry, that works. If democrats win, they must have cheated and are illegitimate. If Republicans win, they can claim that there are more conservatives than liberals, and the nation must bend to the will of "the anointed one". They seem to be okay with demagoguery.
The "Republicans" on the hill care about nothing more than lining their and their donors pockets.
The cult are simply tools to get there.
Sad, sad state of affairs.
