The governor of Georgia stated

that Trump losing the election was “unfathomable”.

You know what? Many things in life are unfathomable. Losing a child is unfathomable or watching your house burned to the ground with all your earthly possessions may be as well. Perhaps being a formerly wealthy client of a fraudulent investor in NYC is unfathomable as well.

But somehow, the idea of Donald Trump losing an election being unfathomable Just doesn’t sit right. Then again, I’m not a Nazi sympathizer lunatic. So what do I know?

1. Georgia voted for Clinton his first run. So their voting for Biden, or against Trump is unthinkable?

If they really think that, they must have thought they had the fix in permanently. Even with a guy who's approval numbers were the worst on record a year ago. They just can't believe it. Actually, many of the guys like that do know, and they realize why. They are just happy to fan the voter fraud claims to see if it leads to anything, and in hopes that it helps their career somehow.

2. DT is incapable of empathy, even for himself. Only losses. ., .

. . . that are blows to his eggshell ego have meaning. And defense of his eggshell ego allows for only one response: complete denial.

I don't think loss of a loved one would evoke genuine feelings of any sort in DT. Such losses would be "fathomable," but essentially meaningless to him personally.

Likewise, Kemp apparently perceives the rejection of Trump as an "unfathomable" blow to his delusional view of the world.

4. Losing 300,000 people (and counting) in a pandemic is unfathomable.

Not re-electing the person that led us to that failure seems the only reasonable course of action.

And not just your fucking Republican cronies.

One of the most unfortunate side effects of the Trump post-election pity party campaign was that Brian Kemp was made to be a sympathetic figure. He assuredly is not that.

After tRump's election in 2016, Republicans and their vast RW media cabal knew by holding the Senate and presidency, it satisfied their long-term dream of controlling the U.S. government. Therefore, they went into full-blown war mode on information control.

Behind the curtain they have been slowly trying to destroy many areas of government. In order to do that without massive public revolt, they knew total control of the American narrative was necessary. So, these dipshits have been completely brainwashed into thinking there was no way in hell they could lose. This extreme level of denial has been seen both in the everyday GOP voter and in those at the highest level of government.

We must remember these grand long-term plans come from the massive network of right-wing think tanks that are funded by ultra-wealthy RW billionaires and the GOP has been under tremendous pressure to maintain their grip on power.

Trump's defeat represents the collapse of their long-term evil plan.
