re: Crybaby Republicans are the Reason Georgia is Blue and why Dems control the Senate

It didn't help that Trump surrounded himself with 2 conspiracy nuts who lied, grifted, and actively encouraged voters to boycott the runoff. Multiple people at the Daily Wire, including Ben Shapiro, said several times that they talked to folks on the ground in GA who were door-knocking and they constantly heard that GOP voters weren't going to show up for 1 of 2 reasons:

1. Because they believed the Wood/Powell/Trump conspiracy theories and their vote wouldn't matter.

2. They believed the conspiracy theories being peddled by John Fredericks, Bannon, and others that Trump was magically going to be inaugurated again and that it didn't matter because Pence would break the tie in a 50-50 Senate.


That not only decreased GOP turnout from what it should have been, but Trump acted like a fricking baby when he had already lost and parroted what Wood and Powell were saying. This angered and mobilized suburban wine moms and woke millenials, who otherwise would've been complacent and not voted since Trump was on his way out of the WH in a few weeks. Because he wouldn't stop complaining and spewing Wood and Powell's BS theories, these wine moms and millenials viewed Trump as being on the ballot again, and unfortunately for us were not complacent.

Why anyone wants this jackass to be the nominee again instead of DeSantis is beyond me. DeSantis won't underperform nearly every down-ballot R in the suburbs like Trump did in 2016 and 2020. He's also far more articulate and a much better debater. Trump fricked up a slam dunk election and contributed to our defeat in GA by surrounding himself with conspiracy nuts. If he had just shut his fricking mouth and stopped being a baby we would've been able to hold one of those two seats. All he had to do was wait until the day after to spew every conspiracy theory under the sun and trot out his friends who should be institutionalized. He couldn't even do that because of his ego.

There's a reason why CNN, Lincoln Project, MSNBC, etc. are egging Trump on to run again. You want to know why that is? Because they know he'll be easy to defeat and he'll be old as frick and they're terrified of DeSantis getting the nomination because they know he'll win.

People need to face the facts. Unfortunately, GA is not the ruby red state it was 15-20 years ago. The ATL suburbs are being invaded by liberal transplants. In 2016 Trump got UNDER 51% of the vote and BADLY underperformed Isakson and down-ballot R's in the suburbs. He was running against Hillary, arguably the worst candidate ever, and yet he got under 51% of the vote. Four years later, when the suburbs are more blue and the turnout is higher, it made for a 50-50 election. I don't know why people don't realize this.
