They should get one of the smaller Democrats to go in sitting on the shoulders of another with a big coat disguising them.

Do that a few times to skew to count and then dramatically have the winning voted leap out of their colleagues chests.
Honestly, this will be less juvenile than what is actually happening in DC

I know the (awful) reasons the GOP has such a rabid base, starting with decades of Fox/Rush lies.

Even knowing those factors, it is still amazing that any voter looks at this clown show and wants to vote Republican. The corrupt idiots in this bad faith actor masquerading as a political party are all pathetic.

It doesn't matter how evil and corrupt the Republicans become. To their voters, the Democrats will always be worse.

Not to mention people getting death threats and threats on their families for not voting Jordan.

That right there tells you all anyone needs to know about the Republican party. They can't even get along with themselves because they're so corrupt.

Yeah. That is where that ridiculous thirty plus years of brainwashing propaganda on a massive platform comes in. It was all designed to convince the weak minded that democrats were not people who saw government differently, but instead evil enemies to be destroyed. It worked extremely well, and is a big reason our system is so busted in 2023 (and the only way an utter loser like Donald Trump could ascend to power at all).

And they did all of that while claiming media actually had a liberal bias, and people actually bought it..

I was thinking of ways to work that into my original post, and I eventually just threw up my hands. That is how messed up the GOP is right now-I cant even find words to describe it all as they are making overt threats to people in their own Party.

This. As someone who has been a political junkie my whole life, it is shocking to me how open the GOP has been about this. The actual Party Platform for the last Presidential election that came out of their convention had basically zero policy. It basically said: Do whatever Trump wants!!!!!

We are living in an era where the MAGA base doesnt want any policy besides burning the government down or trolling. And the GOP is willing to drive this country into a ditch as long as they think those voters will help them cling to power.

It is sick. Truly.

In addition, if/when something goes wrong that is their own doing they can blame the Dems and every Republican will believe it.

It shows Republicans don't care about the country or the people. They only want power.

I honestly would not be surprised if his allies are sitting in a room right now debating whether further bullying of their own members and their spouses will work to turn the tide.

Oh they definitely are, have been, and will be. The fact he's losing even more votes means they're going to step it up a notch, instill fear to get more on their side.

The Democrats should make a deal with a few Republicans to (re)elect Pelosi.

The Democrats get a leader they know and (mostly) trust.

The Republicans get their boogeyman to campaign on.

The country gets a competent leader.
