Republicans Intent on Losing?

Look at the Republican debates, the Republicans in the House, and the ones going on Fox News—the common element is denial of facts or, as Kellyanne Conway so disarmingly put it, alternative facts.

Could be that alternative facts are going to be their ruin. More died in counties that went for Trump because they didn’t believe the science around Covid-19.

But their denial of science goes way back to the tobacco misinformation campaign followed by their denial of climate science. And now it has become too convenient to ignore anything they don't like, such as polls that show the electorate wants to save the planet, voters want access to abortion, and they are drawn to spread love instead of hate and division.

Ignoring all that leads to electoral defeat (unless they change the rules regarding who can vote and when they are allowed). Look what has happened in the States regarding abortion. Time and again, the they ignore what the voters want and they get defeated on the abortion issue. They are ignoring the will of the voters on climate change mitigation as well.

So the good news is that such deafness and overreach leads to defeat. The bad news is that it will lead to violence since they have danced up to and now over the line calling for violence.

This will not end well for them and it may not end well for all of us.
