Republicans in Georgia have had just about enough of Stacey Abrams it seems.

The Democratic activist and media darling has been lauded by liberal leaders for helping President Joe Biden turn Georgia blue in November and following that up by electing two left-wing U.S. senators in January, giving Democrats control of all elected levers of power in Washington D.C.

On Monday, a group of Republican strategists in Georgia and elsewhere announced the formation of Stop Stacy, which they describe as “national, grassroots organization of engaged conservatives” that will “stand up to the left and prevent a complete left-wing takeover of Georgia – and America – in 2022.”

According to a menacing video on the website StopStacy.org, the group’s intent is to: “Stop higher taxes. Stop government healthcare takeover. Stop the assault on election integrity. Stop the radical left. Stop the new DC swamp. Stop Stacey Abrams.”

4. How many new winger committees can their handlers afford...??

I imagine even qanon had a budget...

20. Depends on who is backing it.

Koch and Scaife, et al, have virtually unlimited funding available. You can add more ultra-right, ultra-rich assholes to that short list, as you choose.

5. All their griping is just activating more Georgians to vote for Stacy! Keep going JA's. We'll take

your help pushing our goal of getting all Ga. voters to vote AGAINST YOU!

15. "A picture is worth a thousand words."

Your post is worth 2,000. Well put and I agree 100%.

[machoneman]

7. Dumb name from a bunch of dummies. People react more favorably to positive....

...sounding tag lines, banner names. etc. "Stopping" someone, even for Republicans, doesn't reverberate like a message of support. Thanks God these assholes don't know that!

[LiberalLovinLug]

8. "Stop the assault on election integrity"

Basically what Stacey is fighting for.

[msongs]

10. so the burning crosses crowd is staging a comeback by creating jim crow voting laws... nt

[azureblue]

11. To GA GOP

I got a great idea: Why don't you run on your plans and successes? Show the voters what you did to improve their lives, and what you plan to do, in specifics. Run on your own merits.

Who are we kidding? The GOP is a failure that can only win by smears, lies, and cheating. They have proven for 50 years they can't govern, and they get more incompetent and crazier by the day.

12. '22 is going to be a HUGE battle. nt

[Harker]

13. Stop this... stop that.

All they propose is designed to stop something or someone good.

[certainot]

14. talk radio has been and will keep attacking her and 3 Ga unis support 14 limbaugh stations

from fakenewsradio.org : GEORGIA 14 Georgia 7, Georgia Tech 5, Georgia Southern 2

those stations will be doing a lot of the dirty work they won't want to put their names to in ads, etc

those schools are using their majority black athletes to bring in ad dollars for trump-supporting stations that call kneeling athletes un-american and BLM protestors "marxist communist terrorists" (common limbaugh). they also called COVID a hoax and got many people killed

they need to reread their mission statements and start looking for apolitical alternatives

[Nitram]

16. "Stop the assault on election integrity." The nerve!

[MRDAWG]

17. Damn, those Black folks are voting.............

I live North of Atlanta. 84% voted for Trump. When I ask them what motivated them it's watching BLM marches.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Laughable goals because they are not tangible, or have been disproven

Republican elites are so out of touch with how real people think and behave.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. I'm sure hoping hard for your alternative, Yo_Mama

When I read StopStacey.org's mission statement, I was struck yet again by the way they are able to frame their propaganda. I guess nothing is going to change the minds of the hard right, but their sources - of which this is one, imo - takes it for granted that there is a leftist swamp, which of course is very vague and nebulous, but works for them for all that.

More specifically, though, they also take for granted that there is a leftwing takeover underway, higher taxes (a sentiment as predictable as the sun rising in the east) govt. takeover of health care (they should be so lucky) and an assault on election integrity.

If they looked in the mirror and traded out a very few words, they would be aiming that rhetoric a lot more accurately.
