We can finally quantify the craziest of the right-wingers.

Reading an article about the Arizona fraud stunt, the author mentions a survey that says that 62% of Republican Arizonians polled believed that Trump won in AZ. But the really crazy cult of 25% believe that Trump will be reinstated. I suspect that those numbers would translate to the most of the rest of the nation.

So, basically, while all Republicans are evil, 25% are bat-shit crazy. The funny part is that the Party has to cater to them because they can not win without them.

As a side note, the article I read did not expect a final report from the fraudit because the point was to continue the conspiracy rather than produce a result. As long as there is no final report, Trump can continue to claim anything he wants to about the "audit."

I think that even most liberals underestimate how serious the Republican threat is to our Representative Democracy....

Not that a lack of a report is going to keep TFG from claiming whatever he wants anyway, but the AZ audit is shaping up to be a useful tool - just like TFG taxes - "they're under audit".

I'm hoping the whole thing backfires, with AZ voters growing sick of it all.
