A Simple Observation

Yes, the Republicans are trying to undermine voters' trust in our elections - their problem being that the only people swallowing their bullshit are Republican
voters.

So who's most likely to not bother voting in future? Obviously, it's those who have been told their votes are easily manipulated, tossed out, and/or not counted. Why stand on line to cast a ballot that you've been convinced those Demon Dems will ensure will never see the light of day?

Democrats (and other intelligent, well-informed, sane people) aren't listening, and will continue to go out and vote for (D) candidates.

Gotta hand it to the GOP - that's some brilliant political strategy right there.

Their nonsense probably cost them control of the Senate.

And they have no intention of quitting while they're behind.

5. Meanwhile, they are setting up their insurance policies

Where Democrats win, they set up „independent“ commissions to „inspect“ vote tallies and, in the case of a Democratic victory, declare them in error.

„Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.“— attributed to Republican role model and idol, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

(Don‘t believe their „anti-kommanist“ line, it‘s only for show)

Barely had time to catch my breath. 48 hours after landing, I was already at work in Sprout City. Yesterday, I had to go to a small, obscure place in the Netherlands that‘s so far off the beaten track, on either side of the entrance are signs of farmers selling their own home-grown potatoes, asparagus and strawberries. A week ago, I was still in Dallas. Today, at home in Düsseldorf, where our younger daughter is visiting fron the Taunus hills with her two baby girls. Serious reality vertigo, here!

why are they still a viable political party after so many years of being disconnected from reality?

14. I only came to realize ...

... over the past four-plus years just how disconnected from reality Republican voters are.

I've always seen them as traditionally ill-informed, and how willing to be duped they can be. But it took Trumpism to expose just how far from reality some people have been all along.

7. That's really a great, in-front-of-our-faces point.

Their leadership is demoralizing their own supporters, thinking that they are owning us in doing so. I don't see much downside for them to continue that strategy.

In state after state, they are trying to control the results of the election. If they are successful they will no allow a legitimate candidate to imerge.

with their gerrymandering and voter supprression laws - which will re-energize their voters.
