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.

“Why was Brian Kemp so dead set against a ballot audit ??”

Also why wasn’t Perdue & Loeffler fighting for an audit of their own ballots from the Nov 3 election ?

If you are looking for scapegoats - look at Perdue & Loeffler

They were, and if they weren’t then they were useful idiots. Being used to pump sensational nonsense and drain time, effort and resources from more serious courses of action that, while not as ‘sensational and bombastic’, had a real chance for success.

For example, that the use of mail voting by certain jurisdictions actually went against local legislation.

But no - people had to waste time on CIA SOG shooting it out with CAG/Delta in Frankfurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and while I’m at it ....Q, which many here are still part of, is a major part of the Deep State disinformation machine. Yes, Q is a master stroke of the Left to have Conservatives drool endlessly on some of the dumbest conspiracies that come out of the Left’s dream machine.

Yes, Q is a Leftist conspiracy movement ...and think of it, it’s really ironical how real Conservatives swallow lines from strangers on the internet about ‘top secret stuff’ without wondering if the source of the information was some PsyOps plant from the Left.

Think I’m lying? Well, there’s an easy way to test this ...how many of the conspiracies stated by Q came true? I had FReepers certain something big would happen before the 14th of December, before the 6th of January, etc etc etc and there is even a thread TODAY with a FReeper claiming President Trump is not moving out and that the NG was a ruse to have armed personnel ready to fight of the Libs when Biden was not inaugurated.

They laugh at us.

That is a point I often make. A little pushback from Perdue, could have put him over the top in the November election. Seems like the uniparty fix was in.

Guess I won't be holding my breath for the next fair and honest elections.

Yeah, well there were too many Georgian Republicans who bought into the "the elections are rigged anyway so why should I bother to vote" crap and now you see the results.

It is only going to get worse. Many people will not be voting Republican ever again. I guess I will stay home or vote for the Trump gang only.

Let me explain this to you guys.

1) The funding for the Anti Trump GOP came from the Koch brothers and Koch Industries. They were the ones who wanted Trump out. Their money got never Trumpers on TV and interviewed for online articles “Many Republicans are angry with the President . . . . .” Many as in 2%, but that’s not how it looked.

2) The challenges to the election were corrupted, probably from the same source of funding. The reason the vote counts came in as they did was Vote By Mail. No virus, Trump victory. Virus led to VBM and its path towards registering non existent voters. Was there a focus on verifying addresses as proper residences after the election? No. Somebody decided to flood the news with claims of hacking and claims of 1000s of election workers who swore an oath choosing, then choosing to cheat, and not one of them going public and admitting it. We heard nearly nothing of the obvious way cheating could happen with VBM — invalid addresses.

3)The only path to victory after the election was persuading state legislatures to send alternate slates of electors to Pence. There was no vote by those legislatures to do that. The legislature leadership in the key states would not hold a vote. That has the smell of Koch on that, too. This was the only path to victory, and instead we got buried under stories of court cases. The Constitution is very clear election law provides all such authority to the states, but all we heard were court cases failing one after another — when that was NEVER the path to victory. It should have been state legislatures proposing alternate slates, but it never got a vote.

"People were generally disgusted by the fraud, lots of people are Trump supporters, not Loeffler/Purdue supporters. This is going to be eye opening for the RNC campaigns in 2022 if they don’t start acting like conservatives and especially if they abandon Trump."

Totally agree. The GOP basically said "Accept the election fraud like good little bitches." and the voters thought "Why should I vote for you when you conspired with the Democrats to steal the presidency from Donald Trump? He is the only reason I was hopeful that the Republican Party was actually going to fight for me and my country. You deserve to lose because even if you win you will do nothing."

The appointed Senator was a long shot out of the gate.. her appointment was the biggest proof that KEMP is a swamp creature.... Give my campaign a lot of money, I’ll put your wife in the Senate....

Told folks here she was not likely to win... Don’t have to be a hard lefty to thing her being in the senate to begin with, (regardless of her voting record), stunk to high heaven.

As to the 1/2 million less voters... what did you expect GOP!!! YOU STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING WHILE A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS FLAGRANTLY STOLEN!!!!!

Wait until 2022, and you’ll see just how much of your base you LOST with this crap.

It’s funny watching people look for scapegoats, Lin Wood for example.

That idiot clown stood onstage and told everyone listening, both in person and a huge online following "we're not going to vote in their rigged election until they fix the machines."

Knowing full well that there was no way in Hell that Georgia was going to get 159 separate Georgia counties to throw out their election equipment and replace it with new equipment in less than 5 weeks.

That asshat deserves the title 'scapegoat.'

Don’t worry, Democrats will prove to the American public why they can’t lead.

It doesn't matter what they prove. They will steal the next Presidential election and elections that matter. Amnesty will be granted with a path to citizenship that will see 20-50 million illegals as new citizens and Democrat voters.

It's over. We're not voting our way out of this mess. We're just biding our time to see how much abuse we can take before we have the guts to call for secession.

If you are a Republican, drop out and help start a third party.

This idiocy must end.

You are absolutely correct.

WHEN LEADERS DO NOT LEAD-—FOLLOWERS DO NOT FOLLOW!!!!!
