Was Powell and Wood’s call to not vote a clever strategy to force Republican officials to focus on the Presidential election fight first or risk losing their own seats?
The Culture Chronicles ^ | 4 Dec 20

There was some strange friendly fire yesterday and into today when Sydney Powell and Lin Wood urged Georgia residents to not vote in the upcoming run-off election. They both asked voters to boycott the election to demonstrate that the voting system is still open to fraud.

It wasn’t long after that statement that the GOP establishment went into attack mode. News outlets including Brietbart put out a smear story linking Wood to several prominent Democrats and accused him of being a fake supporter of the President’s efforts, or possibly even worse, a plant.

However, there may have been a strategy behind the move and now it appears as though maybe it even worked.

Until now many local Republican officials have shown that they have decided to not continue to fight for Trump. Especially in Georgia, Governor Kemp was quick to turn his back on Trump and move on after the election.

But Wood’s call to boycott the election suddenly frightened GOP members. If Trump supporters did boycott the state’s elections, they would have no choice of winning their seats. The truth is there is no Republican party anymore, it’s Trump’s party and the voters follow Trump, not the party.

Yes, but the left is doing a full-out blitz to keep Trump voters at home.

If they succeed they win the senate.

It did, and boy is the GOPe pissed. They are coming at both Wood and Powell with gusto. None of them have anything bad to say about the cheating they are being reluctantly forced to acknowledge might have happened, mind you, just Powell and Wood.

Of course it was. Call the special session or lose the runoff. That’s what they said in the first place.

Yep. Sadly, the USEFUL IDIOTS and low-IQ’ers in our midst are joining their efforts FOR FREE.

The ongoing devastating (for the LEFTISTS) and productive state legislative presentations are being conducted by Trump’s legal team (i.e., Giuliani et al) not by Lin Wood.

Not particularly since it is the MSM and the Left all to happy to parrot the marching orders that Republicans should stay at home and not vote. It is the Left celebrating this infighting and using it to their advantage, not the right.

Exactly.

The Powell, Lin Wood challenge was more than a "clever strategy". The challenge was indicated, fully warranted and indeed obvious.

R politicians need to stand up and support Team America's chosen leader or sit down, perhaps forever, in disgrace.

The GOP was okay with losing the presidency to the Dems because they had the Senate. Well, not so fast. GOP may lose the presidency, the Senate, and the Dems keep the House. The GOP is screwed, and the Lincoln Project people are having the time of their lives.

Why should patriots keep voting for a party that makes a rich living off betraying them and accomplishing at nothing but graciously losing while getting rich? What is you next move, posting flattering articles of Mitt Romney and the Bush Crime Family? The GOPe is in on the steal and come the 2022 primaries we need to evict Republican incumbents and start fresh.

If patriots cannot regain control of the GOP in 2022 it's time to start a new party and let the Republican Party to go to die like the Whig Party.

Yes, and our esteemed, genius right wing pundits immediately started calling Trump voters hicks and rubes who needed to fall in line to vote in the runoffs no matter what. These brilliant strategists attempted to brow-beat us into giving up our leverage from “go.”

Yes, but far too many people took them seriously.
