28. A) Putting a Tea Party Republican

like Helen in charge of anything more complex than mowing the lawn or grocery shopping is inviting failure.

B) Factor in influence by anti-democratic organizations such as ALEC on a Tea Party Republican in an official position, and failure through incompetence becomes the plan.

ALEC: "Well done! Keep calm, play dumb, and this will all blow over. Don't forget, you're now a hero of the Tea Party Patriots!."

Official Statement, paraphrased:

"Well, it's a mess, yes, the election was fraudulent. We Didn't Know! But, golly gee, there's nothing we can do about it now. Stupid voters should have gotten early ballots. That'll teach 'em. They'll know better next time. We certainly can't change the results, can we? Oh well. Best to move along, and get back to business as usual. Nothing more to see here."
