They may be but based on the previous behavior of the GOPE it sounds accurate. They really for the most part believe their own propaganda. I have voted Republican since 1983 and I am here to tell you I am not interested in anything this party has to offer right now.
The GOPE is as corrupt and fraudulent as the deep state and they hate their base-right back at you quivering cowards. I have no use for them and currently plan on voting in local elections until the Democrats get to that level of theft and that is about it unless Trump runs again.
I have voted since 1960-—I am even more disappointed.
