Next time they do it they will blame Democrats for "making" them do it. It's obvious this is the play.
"You made us beat you up! We had no choice!"
Post-Trump Republicans have chosen their path and there's zero confusion anymore. 5+ years ago I never would have imagined this timeline.

Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene rally in Maricopa County to keep 'big lie' going
MESA, Ariz. — On Friday, Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene brought their “America First” road show to Maricopa County, the place that has become ground zero in the Republican effort to keep alive former President Donald Trump’s false claims about his 2020 election loss.
“So, let me just check and make sure with all of you: Who do you think won in Arizona on Nov. 3?” Greene, R-Ga., asked a crowd of roughly 800 people gathered at a hotel ballroom in Mesa.
The question prompted loud cheers and chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump!”
“You know that’s how we feel in Georgia too,” Greene, who wore a blue dress, said of another formerly red state turned blue in last year’s presidential election. “As a matter of fact, that’s how Michigan feels, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. I think that’s how at least 74-plus million people feel.”
.....
The attire of many of those in attendance attested to why such meritless suggestions could prove dangerous. As at the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, a not-insignificant portion of the audience sported T-shirts prominently featuring the letter Q, menacing swords, as well as references to 1776 — all symbols prominent among those who believe that a violent revolution will soon be at hand to reinstall Trump in the White House.
.....
“I follow them because they’re trying to help us after this administration is just totally destroying our country right now,” Nancy Winters, 50, of Gilbert, Ariz., told Yahoo News. “I don’t think anything is going right. I’m not happy with them ending all these people’s jobs in the [Keystone XL] pipeline. I don’t believe that this hack of the recent [Colonial] pipeline that’s causing the higher taxes and running out of gas on the East Coast would have happened under Trump. All this going on in Israel, but he [Trump] doesn’t have any control.”
.....
The bombast from Gaetz and Greene was matched in speeches by Arizona Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs and Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward, all of whom lent credence to the idea that the Maricopa County audit was warranted.
.....
On Friday, Greene was all in, making clear she didn’t care about unifying her party, let alone the nation.
“You know you’re a Democrat if your name is Liz Cheney,” she said. “You know you might be a Democrat if your name is Adam Kinzinger. You know you might be a Democrat and have a serious problem in your primary election if you’re one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump.”
.....
It’s also possible that Gaetz and Greene were scouting on their own behalf.
“This is a crowd that I don’t think anyone not named Donald Trump running for president in 2024 could get,” Gaetz boasted at one point.
.....
On Wednesday, before the House voted to establish a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol by Trump’s supporters, Greene portrayed the insurrectionists as the victims, saying “the people who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being abused.”

I knew Trump would always be worshipped by Republicans as early as late 2016
I don't think there's an end to this either, unless people get bored with the grift or Trump dies
Eh if those "2Pac is Alive" Rumors from 97-98 was Bad,imagine what the "Trump is still Alive" talk will be when he dies...he'll really be Martyrized

After 2016 it became clear that we were caught in some alternate fukked up timeline. At this point I could see pretty much any headline imaginable and be like
maybe its just me but i think we just assume we are living in the "good" timeline because thats whats "tangible" to us but agreed, we are definitely living in one of the bootleg, offbrand timelinesAfter 2016 it became clear that we were caught in some alternate fukked up timeline. At this point I could see pretty much any headline imaginable and be like
but i guess it always could be worse, we could be in the timeline where trump won again or jan 6th was even more fukked up

There's no hope to change the tide of where Republicans, and thus the country, are headed.
Democrats and national and local media outlets would have to start calling out the source of the problem on a routine basis, which is the Republican electorate.
And that's never going to happen, so I'd guess we're heading into failed state territory Ameribrehs.
