The paranoid mind has overtaken the GOP. The only way forward for conservatives is a new party.

    If anyone has any doubt regarding the devolution of the Republican Party from a serious conservative political party to a party of conspiracy theorists led by a charismatic charlatan with a cult-like following this says it all.

    A majority of GOP nominees — 299 in all — deny the 2020 election results
    A majority of Republican nominees on the ballot this November for the House, Senate and key statewide offices — 299 in all — have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis. Candidates who have challenged or refused to accept Joe Biden’s victory — 53 percent of the 569 analyzed by The Post — are running in every region of the country and in nearly every state. Republican voters in three states nominated election deniers in all federal and statewide races The Post examined.

    This is insightful. Have you known them for awhile, were they always so into politics?

    I can’t be the only one chuckling at the GOP being paranoid. We see article after article post after post from the left about
    Handmaidens tale
    Bringing back slavery
    Oil prices in league with Trump/Republicans
    Etc…
    The paranoia is common in both sides of the aisle..

    Except the left can point to real examples. The right's stuff is made up like Brazilian satellites changing vote tallies.

    Oh, wait I get it, disagreement with the left's mainstream thinking must be condescending.

    Say what?
    who is claiming that?

    But we can see who is claiming this:

    Known them at some level for 20 years. My wife knew much more than I did. Honestly I don’t know what their political beliefs may have been in the past.

    Right.. just good ole Joe making another veiled race remark that was taken out of context…. Like the roaches scattering.. naw.. ole Joe didn’t mean to refer to slavery… RIGHT!
    Simple fact is he was out there throwing that around. Why does everything ole Joe says have to be walked backed and managed? Does he ever say what he means? Or does he actually always say what he means…

    Wow you have your disinformation all mixed up. The alleged vote manipulating satellites were supposedly Italian satellites via the Vatican. Now Venezuela was also supposedly involved in election machine tampering.

    As an aside, Brazil actually does use satellites to communicate remote vote tallies.

    Easy Sparky, don’t hide behind your keyboard and start name calling.

    And no one is playing the “party boy” angle more than you.
