Trump Supporters in Georgia Threaten to Destroy GOP, Boycott Runoff Elections

Trump Supporters in Georgia Threaten to Destroy GOP, Boycott Runoff Elections

BY JAMES CROWLEY ON 11/21/20 AT 12:37 PM EST

President Donald Trump supporters protesting the outcome of the 2020 election have a new and surprising opponent: the Republican Party.

"SNIP....

A viral video of protesters, as well as posts on social media platform Parler, indicate that Trump supporters are looking to boycott the upcoming Georgia Senate runoff elections.

A video, shared on Twitter on Saturday, shows a protester speaking into a mic criticizing Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who are both Republicans. The protester calls them "traitors."

.....

Seemingly reacting to certification from Georgia election officials that President-elect Joe Biden had indeed won the Peach State following an election recount, the protesters disavowed the GOP.

"Any Republican who allows this to happen is complicit, and we will finish you," the protester, donning a camo sweatshirt with an elephant on it, shouts into the microphone. "For any Republicans not explicitly helping Trump to 'stop the steal,' we will make sure you are never elected ever again."

.....SNIP"

But rather 70 million Americans that are holding their party hostage, albeit through their favorite proxy in Washington.

After at least 35 years of generational brainwashing, the social experiment has reach its pay-off moment.

This was not by accident. But now we have a much bigger problem on our hands than just DJT. 70 million human beings aren't getting reprogrammed overnight.

If I didn't know better, I would think this was an inside conspiracy to win us the Senate seats in the runoff by simple manipulation of deplorables.

Grab them by their jello heads, point and shoot.

I knew it! I knew it! Q is a Soros plant! He is constantly testing the very limits of the batshit ridiculous lunacy he can peddle to the unsuspecting right wing fringe. Sooner or later, this strategy would have produced the results we are seeing now: a major schism between the immoral scumbags and the devoted morons, breaking up the GOP base into two warring fractions.

In retrospect, it's kind of obvious, isn't it?
