With These Figures, It's No Shock Why Republicans Got Swept by Democrats in Georgia

After all the vote totals were analyzed, it’s no shock why Democrats swept the GOP in the Georgia runoffs. Comparing Election Day 2020 to the January 5, 2021 runoffs, there was a massive dip in Republican voter turnout. Some 500,000 Georgia voters decided to stay home with Republican districts seeing the bigger declines in turnout. Jon Ossoff beat Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue by 55, 354 votes. Raphael Warnock booted Kelly Loeffler by 93,659 votes.

Due to the lack of GOP turnout, Georgia has two Democratic senators. Sorry, twohorribleDemocratic senators. One wholly owned by China, allegedly, and another with a whole host of issues. Our own Reagan McCarthy ventured down to the Peach State multiple times to cover the situation on the ground. The election in its closing days hit numerous roadblocks. For starters, Perdue couldn’t do final get-out-the-vote events due to one of his staffers testing positive for COVID a week from Election Day. He had to quarantine. Second, Mitch McConnell decided to gum up the works for $2,000 COVID relief checks, which had majority support. After months of grueling economic pain due to the lockdown regime, Congress decided to derail a relief bill because the checks…were too big. At the same time, President Trump shoulders some of the blame for going after Georgia Republicans more than the Democrats. The lingering allegations of voter fraud, some legitimate some not so much, cast further doubts on Republican voters who did not trust the system. The 2020 presidential race was stolen, so why should they participate in the Senate runoffs was the mindset here.

Sorry you missed it. I know you were being sarcastic.

The kind of people you’re trying to reach would have been sufficiently scared by a leftist presidency already to vote differently.

And two year of control of the Senate may be enough to legalize all the illegals, and give the Dems a permanently insurmountable electoral advantage. It won’t matter if fraud is magically fixed after that because they’ll have enough newly minted citizens to win straight up.

Well, see here, this is where we differ. I think the illegals will be let in and allowed to vote immediately, and the Senate won't matter. I think letting them succeed at election fraud creates a cascade effect that guarantees we will never have fair elections again.

The kind of people you’re trying to reach would have been sufficiently scared by a leftist presidency already to vote differently.

I wasn't trying to urge people to vote. I was trying to urge people to scare the sh*t out of party office holders by making certain they understand what is going to happen if we don't stop the election fraud.

Letting President Trump get defeated by corrupt election fraud was *the* hill to die on. We lose this one, we lose the whole ball game.

Worrying about the Senate is locking the barn door after the horse is gone.

It’s over. It isn’t socialism we are going to get, it is the corporate oligarchical state, run by select global billionaires.

Fascism. Both the Chinese, and now us, are attempting to reconstitute the Nazi model of government.

Trump is running a sting operation. Disinformation is part of the strategy like “ there will be a smooth transition “.

My mother still thinks Trump is going to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I wish I could believe that, but I don't.

I can only hope that Trump has the will and the means to get revenge for this stolen election.

Trust me Trump has this well in hand. I am very confident he will prevail. The military is with him. Biden has nothing. I fully expect Biden not to even appear on Jan 20th because at some point even his moron handlers are going to figure out what’s happening.

My joy will not contain itself if you are somehow proven to be correct.

I admire your optimism though I cannot share it at this time.

You think they did their jobs?

Yes I do because their job was to defeat Trump by any means necessary. Guess you didn't understand why I said what I did.

Take that attitude and shove it.

You don't get it either. Their job was to defeat Trump at any cost and they did that easily.

I apparently did misunderstand you. Yes, they defeated Trump by allowing the election fraud.

“Did their jobs??”
Well actually, they did the job that paid them the most. And here, you were thinking that they were actually working for the State of Georgia, That’s just their cover position to let them get into their dirty work. Like the overflowing toilets, THATS THEM.
