I sincerely hope the circus does indeed turn off voters. But I know those captivated by the Fox News bubble will not change their colors. All they’ll say is democrats are worse, not matter how bad (R)s are, the (D)s will always represent something worse in their mind.

As long as that is our reality, the carnival of chaos caucus is here to remind us (daily apparently) why we can’t have nice things.

What needs to happen is something that will blow up in Tucker, et al faces. To him and Fox, this is seen as media gold, not as a threat. Right now, I can't think what.

Well. it's certainly not Santos being revealed as a drag queen. . . thought that might have moved things - but obviously not.

And 2 (? - at my age, time is very nebulous) weeks ago, Rs were hyperventilating about people going to drag shows. Rs are against everything! unless it's an R caught doing it - theft, adultery, graft, bribery, treason, etc - then it's okay.

I’m counting on the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits for this. They are suing so many people for so much money that, if successful, they could teach the entire right-wing ecosystem a lesson. Also, it should be a deterrent to some of the crazy lies in the future.

Unless, as seems to continually happen, there is an out of court settlement and the zealots go happily on to the next catastrophe.

I don’t see this happening in this case. The businesses have essentially been destroyed - would anyone buy a voting machine from them again? It seems like they want their good names cleared, so that means publicity.
