luzribeiroLet's not kid ourselves here, we have a rogue and renegade political party within our midst.
Does anyone doubt a Republican controlled Texas legislature wouldn't hesitate to replace the People's chosen Electors, should Trump lose the '24 election?
Texas GOP adopts resolution rejecting 2020 election results
The Republican Party of Texas over the weekend adopted a resolution at its state convention that rejects President Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election, further aligning the state party establishment with former President Donald Trump in pushing false election claims.
"We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States," reads the resolution, passed by voice vote in Houston on Saturday. "We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity and to show up to vote in November of 2022, bring your friends and family, volunteer for your local Republicans, and overwhelm any possible fraud."
Texas is an embarrassment. When are the people of that weird state going to show the leadership that the politics of revolution does not end well for those at the top?
When there is a failure of government to legislate rationally, what follows is sectarian violence, like in other theocracies.
The GOP should, henceforth, be referred to as banana-republicans, because that's what they're trying to create here.
The inmates are running the asylum! To state in your party's policy platform that you reject the results of a certified election and reject the duly elected President spells a death knell for democracy at least in Texas. One baby step from the TX legislators saying they can overturn any election that they don't agree with. They also make separation from the States party policy and reject homosexuality as a lifestyle choice. Then of course there was the terrible reception Cornyn got.
Democracy is officially dead in TX. Which State is next?
