The fact that 300K Trump voters in Georgia didn’t turn up in January, given the population of the state, that seems to be an appropriate number of Right wing lunatics that stayed at home and knowingly destroyed the country in the name of Trump.

And that happens with or without Lin Wood. Trump motivated a large segment of people who, before his campaign, didn't vote at all. And many of them will never vote again after 2020, unless a similar anti-establishment candidate runs. When Trump himself claimed over and over that the election was illegitimate and he was the real winner, you knew a large segment of his base was done with politics forever, no matter what Lin Wood said or didn't say.

And that was a big mistake. When Trump did the rally the night before the runoff, it was complete mixed messaging. He was telling people to participate in an election system he was screaming about being rigged and stolen.

Mixed messaging kills campaigns and gets voters to stay home.

This is the result of Trump’s mixed messaging depressing turnout for the runoffs.

This is publicly available data to show who voted in November and did not vote in the runoff.

Northwest Georgia which has Marjorie Greene’s district is the reddest and most Trumpiest district in the state and is where the most damage was done. It’s where Trump did his rally the night before Election Day.

Trump voters talked themselves into staying home and we have two democrat senators from Georgia now.
