We have a trumpster running for governor and then we have a guy with a gun. Both in the GOP primary.

Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

I think he should focus on what looks like a significant number of Republicans ready to ignore the law and any unfavorable election results altogether.

--how farcical really. You can't encourage an immoral revolution, and still be trusted to protect important institutions ...

The story they are all reciting is that "you can't give power over elections to the federal gov't pecause it gives power to the politcians, not people." By which they mean white people. In red states.

That sounds like them. But the problem is bigger than racism.

For one, I imagine you need a significant payoff to encourage the powerful in these states to give up control and become more dependent on you...

I think this means they have to believe the 2020 election was stolen to stay in the party. :roll:
El Paso County Republicans consider banishing members accused of bucking GOP

Crossing the party line could take on a new meaning in El Paso County if local Republicans adopt a proposed rules change to allow for "formal censure and removal" of party members who cross the GOP.

In a move some local Republican officials are comparing to Soviet-style party purges, a county GOP committee wants to give the El Paso County party the power to ban disloyal Republicans from participating in party functions or running for office under the party's banner.
...
According to the draft amendment, emailed to party leaders late Friday by County GOP chair Vickie Tonkins, county Republicans could face expulsion for opposing or violating the party platform, or for backing a candidate running against the GOP nominee in a general election.

Republicans could also be hauled up on charges if the county chair "believes there is malfeasance or misfeasance on the part of the individual."

Under the amendment, the signatures of 25 members of the county party's governing body would initiate an investigation led by a five-member panel appointed by the party chair. Following a "due process hearing," it would take a two-thirds vote of the GOP's central committee to oust the accused, with a successful vote being "immediate, final, and unappealable."

"No individual who has been censured and removed shall be certified by the El Paso Country Republican Party to the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder and may not be placed as a Republican on any primary or general election ballot," the proposed amendment reads.

"In the event the individual also holds public office, the Chairman shall also inform the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder in writing within three business days that the individual may no longer serve as a Republican party member," it adds.

The rule would allow banished party members to apply for reinstatement as Republicans after four years.
...
Other El Paso County Republicans, however, began sounding the alarm over the proposal almost immediately, including several who argued that the policy would violate state law and undermine the GOP's ability to attract voters in Colorado's largest county.

"To suggest changes in the bylaws that good people may be brought up for a 'trial' for supposedly not being 'pure' enough and to be kicked out of our party is totally ridiculous," Liston said in an email to Colorado Politics.

Efforts to enforce litmus tests on Republicans "smack of Stalinism and 'The Night of the Long Knives' in 1934 by Hitler," Liston said in another email, referring to a move by the German dictator to consolidate power in the Nazi Party.

Saying the proposal "smacks of corruption," Karl Schneider, the county GOP's vice chair, told Colorado Politics that he had a hard time imagining a more wrong-headed approach.

"Quite frankly, it should scare the hell out of the unaffiliated voters, and it should scare the hell out Democrats, because with these activities, where do they stop?" he said.

It is satisfying to see the flowering of the Real American Party in all its sordid glory. Slouching towards Gilead. :dance:
