Their attempt to overthrow the Constitution by force was not enough. Now they want to destroy the election system entirely. This article is about Wisconsin Republicans, however, it applies to all Republicans in their desire to please a failure:
"The top news out of the Wisconsin Republican convention last weekend was Trump’s attack on our state GOP leaders and their groveling response.
Like Voldemort’s followers in the Harry Potter series, they continue to abase themselves even as the object of their adoration rewards them with torture. It’s creepy to watch.
On the eve of the convention, Trump lashed out at state Republican leaders, claiming that they “are working hard to cover up election corruption in Wisconsin” by blocking a so-called forensic audit of election results. “Don’t fall for their lies!” Trump urged his followers, warning that Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Senate President Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield), and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) will be “run out of office” if they don’t shape up. (Trump still claims to have won Wisconsin, despite all the recounts, lawsuits and official findings showing he lost.)
Vos and Kapenga scurried to soothe Trump’s ruffled feathers, assuring him that they had, in fact, supported an audit of the 2020 presidential results. Vos claimed that Trump had been “misinformed,” and in a gesture of partisan fealty, announced at the convention that he had hired one of the most corrupt former justices in Wisconsin Supreme Court history, Michael Gableman, to lead the investigation into the election results.
Vos, a master of cynicism, speaks fluently out both sides of his mouth on the subject of Trump’s Big Lie — retweeting former Vice President Mike Pence’s speech defending certifying the election results at the same time he pushes his partisan fraud investigation on Wisconsin.
Kapenga is just plain craven. He wrote to Trump that it was an “honor” to be mentioned by “a President that I have publicly supported, and still support,” and added a Freudian touch, simpering that “the power of your pen to mine is like Thor’s hammer to a Bobby pin.”
“Nevertheless, I need to correct your false claim against me,” Kapenga wrote informing Trump that he did, too, call for a forensic audit of the election results! Then he threw in a little extra groveling, telling Trump he was flying on an airplane wearing his Trump socks and a Trump/Pence mask “if the liberals are going to force me to wear a mask, I am going to make it as painful for them as possible,” he wrote. “I will continue to do this regardless of whether or not I ever hear from you.”
Grotesque as it is, the humiliation of our state leaders by Trump would be of little concern to the general public if the Republicans did not also emulate their boss by being bullies themselves."
