Republican lawmakers, petrified by what the upcoming midterm elections will look like for their party, are currently grappling with the fact that their president…their chosen figurehead…their cult leader…their MAGA messiah — is an idiot.
President Donald Trump isn’t just corrupt, dishonest and completely devoid of any semblance of morality; he’s a delusional, unintelligent buffoon who shouts “fake news” in the face of factual, easily verifiable information, while regularly posting fact-deficient conspiracy videos, satire he thinks is real, AI slop, and anything else that allows him to confidently show off his utter lack of media literacy.
At this point, no one can say for certain whether Trump actually believes the 2020 election was rigged against him, or if it’s just a lie he has taken too far to take back now, but either way, the GOP appears to be tiring of it as it becomes keenly aware of how detrimental it is politically to keep up the pretense that Trump’s election fraud propaganda might have merit.
From Politico:
Conversations with nearly a dozen GOP state and county chairs and strategists reveal a party largely eager to move on from relitigating Trump’s election grievances, which they’re worried may detract from an economic message that actually motivates voters. But the president won’t let it go, subpoenaing 2020 election records and putting pressure on lawmakers to pass legislation to overhaul voter registration laws.
As Republicans stare down a treacherous midterm landscape, there’s a growing view inside the party that focusing on “stolen election” claims and voter fraud will kneecap them in the general election: That messaging might play well with the MAGA base in the primary, but it could alienate moderates tired of rehashing an election from nearly six years ago.
“I’m always one to believe you should look forward, not backward,” said Charlie Gerow, a Pennsylvania-based GOP strategist and Trump convention delegate who hosted a meeting of fake electors in 2020 at his Harrisburg-based public affairs firm. “It would be better if the midterms focused on the recovery of the economy and all the good things the Republican administration and Congress are doing to move the economy forward.”
