Indeed, but as my...
...huh...as my 24-hour challenges have proven, Trump supporters have a 99+% failure rate of condemning Trump's actions. That means either they support them, or are afraid to, or have me on ignore which is not an excuse, covering your ears going LALALALALALA doesn't make Trump's actions go away.
Sorry. I don't make the rules. But I do condemn terrorism openly and repeatedly. But then, I haven't tied myself to the tracks of the Trump Train. I was never at risk of admitting hypocrisy.
I mean, for fuck's sake, how hard is it to say "Look I like Trump and think he can still win, but violence does not belong in politics and these people do not respresent me"? I've said that about riots repeatedly while they were ongoing.

Most Americans seem to really like their local officials.
I believe you're suggesting that the rabid fanbase wouldn't turn out for the runoff? You might be right, but the same applies for Biden voters. I think the % would be about the same.

I think they're probably holding staff meetings at which the topic is "can we drop him when he literally incites violence?"
New Arizona batch.
Trump got 58%, just below what he needs.

The only check the GOP would have on a Biden presidency is continued control of the Senate. They will want to whip the base into a frenzy. Whether they can with Trump's defeat is another question; hard to tell how many of them will be disheartened and how many will be incited to fight on.
And of course, all the voters that gave Georgia to Joe Biden also know all this.
The tremendous irony is that if Trump had encouraged his supporters to vote by mail nation-wide, as he did in Florida, rather than discouraging it, he'd probably have gotten far more votes than he did.

The Trump base isn't the same as the republican base, so I don't think they'll turn out.
They didn't in 2018 when Trump wasn't on the ticket and I see no reason that they will now, especially since Trump is almost certainly going to spend a goodly amount of time attacking establishment republicans for not supporting his third rate coup attempt.
