Could there be a much larger conspiracy than anyone has imagined?

[kentuck]

Could it be a conspiracy involving the entire Republican Party?

After the attack upon our Capitol, two-thirds of them still voted to not certify the election for Joe Biden. That smells all the way to Denmark.

We see conspiracies with Trump and white supremacists, with Rudy and the Russians, with Roger Stone and Wikileaks, but we might have over-looked the biggest conspiracy of all?

Otherwise, why would Republican leaders like McConnell and McCarthy and Scalise, rally behind the criminal ex-President? Maybe they are all in on it?

Maybe this is a conspiracy of a national political Party?

[scarytomcat]

1. YES

[ace3csusm]

2. Bingo... I have been wondering the same

I all goes back to the RNC hacking, they never released any material also dont for get all those that went to Russia on 4th of July...They must have alot of info on them they have been compromised...

[monkeyman1]

14. AND WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!

[renate]

17. Some of them just want power but I'm sure that some are compromised

Lindsay Graham, for example, is contemptible now, but in the Before Times he was a person who cared so much about Joe Biden that it brought him to tears. He’s always been a Republican but there must be something going on there.

[wnylib]

29. So who was behind the hacking?

Who collected the compromising information to force compliance in the Republican party? Was it Putin? Or was it someone within the US? Did one person (TFG) make a deal with Putin to get GOP support behind him? Or was there a group of people who searched for help in gaining power back for the GOP and found it in Putin and the Russian mob?

[SheltieLover]

33. This!👆

[uponit7771]

39. +1, ... and they're happy to work with the Russians too

[Hoyt]

3. GOPer politicians are still worried trump could turn enough rubes against them.

[woodsprite]

11. Or use Rubles against them. nt

[MLAA]

13. +1000 They all fear Rubes and Rubles!

[FakeNoose]

4. Well they ALL took the money from NRA

... even though they all knew the bulk of it came from Russia. So yeah, they are all compromised.

[abqtommy]

5. Yup. Count on The Conspiracy being wide-spread and well-funded.

[traitorsgalore]

6. Duh, they're all listed right here on Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Caucus

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Of course it is.

They are complicit. They changed their platform in 2016 at Russia’s request. They are owned by our enemies.

[wnylib]

30. Russia needs a regime change.

[Ohioboy]

35. That's right, they did change their platform

I had forgotten about that.

[sellitman]

8. The all have dirt on each other

One sick GQP circle fuck.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. On everyone

50 year private surveillance operation?

[Crunchy Frog]

9. A four decade long conspiracy.

On the verge of success beyond their wildest dreams.

[2naSalit]

10. Well, many of us did imagine it.

We are vindicated.

[wnylib]

34. Yes, we did, but I wish we had been wrong,.

[2naSalit]

40. Well, yeah, me too.

[madinmaryland]

12. HRC was correct 30+ years ago. There is a vast right wing conspiracy and it continues now.

[joetheman]

36. What you posted.

[monkeyman1]

15. every day new shit stink's up D.C. bread crumb trail getting bigger !!

[Escurumbele]

16. Of course there is and many of them are kompromised...that is why they still have their noses up

the buffoon's ass.

That is why they don't want a January 6, 2021 investigation...Like they used to say when the NSA thing was going on "if you don't have anything to hide why would you be worried?" Well, they have a lot to hide, they ARE worried.

[KT2000]

18. Their dream is total control

whatever and whoever gets them there they will stand behind. Russians, Koch Brothers, criminals, voting restrictions, control of women's bodies, corrupted religions, etc.

[Historic NY]

19. YUP

[pwb]

20. They are trying to convince people that it did not already happen so

they can try again. Pukes will lose big from now on IMO. Independents are with us.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. Greed, privilege, worship of money and capitalism, and TFG billionaire

Of course they would worship a super rich guy. But would Mitt Romney have sparked the same exaltation?

It's about power, strangulating democracy for greed, thievery of public assets for private interests, and enslaving all. If you aren't at the top of anything, you are not important to them.

[Joinfortmill]

23. Who are their donors???

[Traildogbob]

24. Absolutely

Elected officials July 4th trip to Moscow, Rand Paul trip to Moscow, Mosco Mitch Russian Aluminum factory, Ron Johnson was on the 4th trip. Manifort ties, it goes so fucking deep. Our country is still in progress of being conquered by Putin for cash. GQP pushing for Putin style elections, Russian trolls brainwashing the brainless. USR..USR…USR!!!

[Mr. Evil]

26. They went over there as tourists.

We all know how republicans just love tourists.

[Traildogbob]

31. Ha

We have a minor league baseball team here in Asheville. Called the Tourists. I’ve not seen them in years and refuse to watch local Sinclair propaganda news. I wonder if their uniforms are plastered with Trump emblems, Back the Blue flags, and confederate flags like the Capital tourists uniforms?

[Mr. Evil]

25. They're so horny for a Fascist Theocratic Autocracy,

they forget who's supposed to lead the daily circle jerk of crazy.

I also believe that all the screaming about Dominion voting systems is/was just a distraction. It's ES&S voting tabulations that should be looked at.

I know assumption is usually the mother of all fuckups but, always assume whenever a republican is talking (or just breathing) they're lying, cheating and/or projecting (or they're thinking about lying, cheating and/or projecting).

[ace3csusm]

45. Totally agree with you on this

Kentucky should be looked at first

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. We at DU, are sometimes so way ahead of everyone else

If we, en masse, thought it was an 8, it is likely a 10. Smoke, there's always fire in politics.

[ancianita]

28. This is the conspiracy of dark money, and Sheldon Whitehouse proved that SCOTUS is their tool.

[liberal N proud]

32. They have been working it for years.

[Hamlette]

37. The 2012 autopsy said they had to share power with black people if they wanted to stay in office

they didn't like that. Then Trump showed them pricks can win the highest office.

They see that as their choice: be a prick like Trump or share power.

Authoritarianism starts by setting up an "us" vs "them" situation. It's harder to say horrid things about Jews and blacks but you can say that Dems eat babies. "Us" vs "them". Then you eat around the edges: start riots, say the election was stolen by the baby eaters, restrict voting, gerrymander the shit out of the country. They always wanted it this way, whether Russia has the goods on them or not. Trump just showed them if you want power, you can just take it. Just like all dictators do.

My question is, who can be the next Trump? DeSantis? Tucker? Junior? Is there another person out there that 74 million americans will consider a god? Is it possible that there is no other person who can do what Trump did?

Some of the reasons it worked for Trump is we were blindsided. When he came down the escalator I didn't think he's win the nomination let alone get elected. I'm hoping that the next one who tries will not bet all the free press that Trump got. I don't see Joe and Mika having Tucker calling ini every morning.

[slumcamper]

38. Certainly, we know there IS. Great "teaser" question, k'tuck...

A corollary question is why isn't the national Democratic Party leadership and key members making the case (yet)?

I suspect it has all to do with timing, and the special committee on Jan. 6 is a key element in the strategy to get to a point where said conspiracy is more than speculation or allegation. I recall Biden referencing "timing"; this "drama" is in some part about that, too.

I'd prefer we unleash the "terrible swift sword," but prudence demands patience. Meanwhile I and many more seethe with unrest.

[Whiskeytide]

41. They are not loyal to Тяцмр. They have to ...

… kiss up to him because they can’t win elections without his fans. Not fawning over Тяцмр means losing a primary. He has them by the short hairs. I really think it’s that simple.

[jimlup]

42. Only if drooling stupidity is a conspiracy /nt

[Buckeyeblue]

43. Not a conspiracy--lack of integrity

Republicans are win at any cost. Because their margin of victory is so thin, they can't afford to reject the crazies who may vote for them.

This is why country club elites glad hand poor white extremist Christians. They don't share anything in common except the person they vote for.

[lagomorph777]

44. That is not larger than I have imagined.

It is exactly what I have assumed for years, based on their behavior.

The Reptilian Party has merged with the United Russia party.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

46. Yep

And I think a lot of corporates , rich people and churches are involved in this fascist shit too. I think it goes really deep.

I wish we could root it all out and expose it all.
End this bullshit.
