Trump's TV Faithful Just Gave Away the Game

Forget the details. Tell me how you feel. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Dr. Sebastian Gorka, PhD and the MyPillow Guy Just Gave Away the Game on Trump's Election War   Just as this moment has revealed the American president is a would-be autocrat who would use the nation's security apparatus to overturn an election and seize control of the country, it has also increasingly revealed just how empty the rhetoric is supporting this behavior. That process has been accelerated because two firms that produce voting machines, Dominion and Smartmatic, have started to issue lawsuit threats against some of the many tentacles of the right-wing disinformation apparatus on the basis that outlets like Newsmax or OANN or Fox News have done them severe reputational harm by spreading conspiracy theories about how they stole the election from Mr. Trump on behalf of Zombie Hugo Chavez, or whatever. The suits are seemingly dangerous enough that a couple of these outlets have aired segments over the last week debunking their own reportage on supposed election fraud since the election.

They Choose Not To.   It has become clear since the 2020 elections that the deep, wide, and profitable vein of idiocy running through American conservatism—and, therefore, through the Republican Party, which is that conservatism's primary political vehicle—will still be yielding a motherlode for at least one or two more election cycles. It is increasingly likely that a few of these newly minted public servants are going to contest Joe Biden's election when Congress meets to formalize the results in Washington next week. In fact, the president* had a flock of these birds over to the White House on Monday, apparently to plot strategy. Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Bedlam) spoke for the gathering to Fox News. "We will be raising objections to the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden for multiple states," Greene told Fox News. Here's Charles P. Pierce on why their efforts will go nowhere, but the spectacle will be damaging all by itself.
