The fact that he is allowed to hear any case related to the election should show you just how absurd our entire fucking system is.

Thomas and Alito will get wet bamboo strikes over their naked butts today for their failure

The justices mostly are awful people but one benifit of not being elected and pretty much impossible to remove is them not needing to give a fuck about what their president/party wants. Who appoints them matters but getting a genuine puppet in is pretty difficult. Quite a few Trump apointees in the Supreme Court or federal courts have bitch slapped Trump/Republicans on occasion despite being pretty awful on average.

Of course they don't have to give a fuck about the people either and its nigh impossible to hold them accountable...

What is nuts is so many big republicans hate Trump even if they pretend they don't in public. They really should've fucking put the screws to him after jan 6.

The biggest self sabotage of a party in a long time.

they're normalizing the idea of contesting elections they don't win.

Conservatives would not shut the fuck up about this case for months. They never even had any success in lower courts because it was obvious bullshit. They just kept appealing to higher courts.

At this point, I don't know if it was as much a dedicated attempt at normalization by the Republican party as much as it was the fringe loonies adopting a 'monkey see, monkey do' attitude. The reason I think this distinction is important is because it's already proved to be election poison in the 2022 midterms. Even moderate Republicans are already sick of the sore loser tactic; in two years it hasn't proven anything nor delivered any results, and only succeeded in making everyone involved (rightfully) look like morons.

Grumbling to oneself and others that the election was 'stolen' with the same energy as whining that the refs cost your favorite sports team the championship is one thing: publicly wasting time and money to out yourself as an even bigger loser than before is quite another, and I think people are quickly waking up to that. People like Trump, Greene, and Lake will continue to push it because they're arrogant idiots who don't know any better, but the midterms made me hopeful that the Republican Party at large is already abandoning it as a play that's doomed to failure.
