From other thread:

or perhaps republican voters will believe the fraud so much that they'll be disinclined to vote in the run offs?

@maggiethecat

This is exactly what the GOP fears. The GOP Chair has already (hysterically) addressed a group of GA voters who, it sounds like, have grave doubts about the 'fairness' of the runoff vote. Many of them were saying they don't plan to vote since "the runoff will be rigged" and "votes will be changed from Repug to Dem because of 'those machines'". I tell you, the GOP Chair was, um, extremely emphatic, bordering on hysterical in her remarks. You can see that the GOP is very worried about this. And they (non-publicly) are putting the blame exactly where it belongs, on their so-called 'favourite president'. A wee bit of being hoist with their own petard, no?

There has even been a 'Boycott the Vote' movement although I don't know how large/popular/effective it is or will be. As the saying goes "All I know is what I read in the papers see on the internet".

So the GOP now has Donnie Jr filming and recording PSAs telling GA voters to vote.

Oh yes....fanks for the fred, North. And a wonderful title! I was hoping we'd have Biden's win in our next title!

A wee bit of being hoist with their own petard, no?

This is how it always ends. You subvert the media, right until you need it. And then wonder why no one believes it.

We had a similar experience in the UK after Michael "we don't need no stinkin' experts" Gove. All very well to dismiss experts. But then Covid hit and - guess what ? All of a sudden there's problem with people rejecting expert advice. Because it's expert.

Thanks TheNorthWestPawsage!

It will be interesting to see when the Don goes to Georgia this weekend how he'll encourage them to vote - "we all know the system's rigged but we need your votes anyway" Confused

It will be interesting to see when the Don goes to Georgia

Oh dear, please tell me someone else is on this ?

(great song, btw)

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 01/12/2020 14:52

Thank you for the new thread, though I really do wish it had been all over bar the inauguration by now..
Maybe Trump should tell them to mail in their votes in Georgia? Yet another mixed message!

There needs to be a counter-factual from someone saying

Y'know. The only way to catch these scheming Democrats out, is to not vote Republican in Georgia. That way, when the results come back minus for the GOP, we'll be able to show fraud

Who to believe ? A choice of idiots. Not at all good for the GOP. Or anyone who relies on dim vim.

Thanks for the new thread North!

Maybe by 'calling off' the election?

Do something @BrianKempGA. You allowed your state to be scammed. We must check signatures and count signed envelopes against ballots. Then call off election. It won’t be needed. We will all WIN!

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best that's ever been.

Do you think that devil Don of bitch will finally realise he's been beat?!🤬
