As warned by promoters of the precinct committeeman strategy, establishment Republicans do not welcome patriots to their elitist clubs with open arms. Just the opposite.
The inhospitable treatment by RINOs of MAGA in the Miami Dade REC (Republican Executive Committee) is just the latest example of the depths that the elites descend to cling onto power: by-laws are flaunted, Robert’s Rules of Order are ignored, and promises are broken.
Members who do not show up for three REC meetings in a row are supposed to be kicked out. But since most of them are RINOs, more placeholders than activists, the by-law was flaunted continuously, until a year ago when patriots put up sufficient fuss for the REC to start following its own rules. (Now, the only piece of business allowed to come up at meetings is a blanket pardon of 3rd absences, voted quickly through after a few sob stories are shared.)
After the 2020 steal, patriots set up and dominated the Election Integrity (EI) Subcommittee, whose chairman Henry Zarb has become a thorn in the RINOs’ side.
In the second to last REC meeting (in March), Zarb was able to get a motion for common sense transparency – simply sharing the full list of REC members, their email addresses, as well as vacancies – on the table. How else can members coordinate efforts for campaign support, election integrity, or fill any vacancies?
This was viewed by the RINOs as an attack on their power, as exemplified by reports they spread false rumors that the motion called for publishing the cell phone numbers of all members. Instead of letting the motion be clarified or come to a vote, Vice Chair Kevin Cooper lead a walk out, thereby denying a quorum.

Positions of power are most likely to be filled by those that crave power and want more and more of it. Going against that trend is like swimming upstream; it requires constant effort.
The author means “flouting”, not “flaunting”.
When I was participating in the Hillsborough County, FL REC, which at the time was, I believe, the largest in the nation, I found them to be most warm and welcoming at all times.
RINO’s shoot us in the foot. Some are hoping we shoot ourselves in the head.
THAT I can agree with. Often their normalcy bias has normalcy bias.
