A lot of talk on right wing boards that

Georgia SoS Raffensperger is planning to switch parties in a few weeks.

I take everything I read in those places with a big grain of salt. I can't find the source of it anywhere. Has anyone seen this being talked about anywhere? Usually I can find where the information comes from, even when it's false.

3. I don't really think it'll happen

but I like to keep track of the conspiracy theories they throw around and where they are originating from.

Then again, a lot of republicans are threatening to jail/murder him, so maybe he doesn't feel very welcome anymore.

2. Of course it is BS

But could you really blame him after being treated so shabbily by his own?

4. I'm not that interested in if he will or not

That's fairly inconsequential and will answer itself in a couple weeks. I'm more interested in the origins and who's putting it out there.

He acted in a way that didn't benefit them, so he must be a secret turncoat.

12. Ahhhhh there it is

thanks.

Like I said in other posts, I didn't buy this as being true but wanted to find the "source."

It seems that this show Bannon has is becoming a main source of conspiracy theories on the right.

10. Probably switch to Independent

I can see that happening but still can't see him becoming a registered Democrat.

11. I doubt it. He's a pretty conservative guy.

It's a real shame that "conservative" isn't enough for Republicans anymore. It's either go full-fascist or GTFO.

13. Republicans today

would consider Reagan a RINO and Bush would be a communist.

15. Only the first one.

The second Bush would fall somewhere between RINO and socialist.

14. Given he still endorses Loeffler and Perdue --despite their calling for his head, I doubt it.

Sounds like RW brainwashing remains, even if he still has some commitment to democracy.

16. That press release he put out

had a lot of shade at them demanding access to files that they already had.
