Clearly not enough. It was believed at the time that we were dealing with seemingly intelligent people who could learn from events, but alas, that was not to be.
Some people want to believe what the "authorities" (in this case, the national news lying system) tell them, rather than what real evidence actually tells them.
The Asche conformity experiments reveals that quite a lot of people will believe whatever they are told by the group they perceive as the "majority."
So the Republican leadership learned nothing. They simply did not want to entertain the idea that Georgia was stolen, because less face it. Many of them hated Trump and only pretended to support him because so much of their own constituency supported him.
They did not want to see Trump win, so they did not want to see election fraud, and so they refused to even look at it. They still do.
Trump was not going to become president after November...
Certainly not with the cowardly Republican leadership refusing to challenge fraudulent elections. Again, the voters *WANTED* them to *DO SOMETHING* about the election fraud problem. Instead, they just turned a blind eye and pretended it didn't happen.
But I ask you to consider an alternative timeline after November. A timeline in which every Republican waited a bit to see the evidence of election fraud come out rather than immediately and gleefully agreeing with the media liars that the election was fine.
Suppose instead they very angrily denounced the election and demanded an investigation into the fraud? Supposed every one of them used every media opportunity to demand the crimes which occurred in Georgia's election be examined?
Suppose an army of lawyers and investigators traveled to Georgia and demanded that all the records be turned over precinct by precinct to be examined for fraudulent voting?
When the actual evidence came out that especially Fulton county was rife with fraud, and the election could not be certified, then the State of Georgia would have had to hold a new election.
And in this new election, with much more scrutiny, Trump wins outright, as do the two Republican candidates.
This creates pressure for the other battleground states to examine their own election fraud problems. Have you ever heard the term "preference cascade"? There might have been other elections tossed out and new ones held. There is no doubt that in such a case, Trump would have won.
But yeah, with a leadership that throws in the towel and quits without putting up a fight, nothing of value would get done in Georgia.
Didn't that happen pretty much from day one?
Suppose instead they very angrily denounced the election and demanded an investigation into the fraud? Supposed every one of them used every media opportunity to demand the crimes which occurred in Georgia's election be examined?
Didn't that happen with all the claims of packed ballots and the multiple audits and the lack of solid evidence to the contrary?
Suppose an army of lawyers and investigators traveled to Georgia and demanded that all the records be turned over precinct by precinct to be examined for fraudulent voting?
Trump's lawyers did precisely that with multiple challenges and multiple court cases, none of which came to anything.
When the actual evidence came out that especially Fulton county was rife with fraud, and the election could not be certified, then the State of Georgia would have had to hold a new election.
Still waiting for that evidence to come out apparently.
The Republicans either had to prevent the fraud to begin with or win by a margin so large it couldn't be stolen from them. The courts were on the Democrats' side, but Trump and the Republicans could have gotten more and more dedicated poll watchers. They could have replaced drop-boxes with a more secure system.
Trump might or might not have been able to win decisively, but he didn't to the things he would have had to do, like preparing for the debates. It would have been good if Trump admitted afterwards that he could have done more before the election. There wasn't much that could be done after the election, and nothing could have been done on the day the electoral votes were certified.
Between the half the voters who support the Democrats, the people who didn't vote, the people who thought Trump blew it himself and the people who just wanted the election to go away, you weren't going to get a majority for election re-dos.
