re: I don't think republicans realize how bad off they are for next election cycles

Unfortunately, most conservatives/Republicans have notoriously short attentions spans.

There's also the fact of the uniparty. It's a heads we win, tails you lose scenario. Assuming conservatives bow out for ten years and don't vote, what does this country look like?

They manufactured a stolen election without even a serious candidate. They did it right in front of us. They were all paid up on the right people. They knew exactly how Trump would respond. And got away with it.

They knew what they were doing. And no, they're not stupid. They're just on the other side and playing us.
