These groups don’t even give a shit about their conference. These articles about the controversy are the entire reason they do this. I’d say ‘stop giving them exactly what they want ever time they do this’, but that will never happen.
I’ve heard plenty from Republicans that also dislike this. The GOP is absolutely broken into two groups and they hate each other. At some point one side will form a third party or just disappear.
They hate each other right up until election day when they all fall in line together.
Don’t let Republican hand-wringing over other Republicans fool you. They still have a common enemy to unite them- the fear of anyone except Republicans having power.
I mean I understand the truth in this but look at the Georgia results in 2020. Biden won the state even though a lot of other Republicans got more votes than Trump. There wasn’t a down ticket effect for democrats, a lot of Republicans just left it blank instead of voting for Trump.
I’m not sure about other states, I live in Georgia so i was hyperaware about what was happening here.
The other way to look at that is that it took a man as shockingly vile as Trump to make them reconsider even one specific R for the presidency, but they still voted R the rest of the way down. Don’t underestimate Republican commitment to voting Republican.
Also I think Biden’s win in Georgia can be attributed more to increased voter turnout than a few Rs declining to vote for Trump.

Yeah I brought in 6 new voters between the presidential and the runoffs for Warnock! I felt so useful.
That is pretty awesome. Getting more people to partiipcate matters more than almost anything else at this point.
