      Striking: The chair of the Republican Attorneys General Association just resigned amid fallout from the group's vile robocall urging people to turn out on Jan 6 to "Stop the Steal." The Big Lie is getting so bad that even Republicans are running from it:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/22/republicans-chris-carr-running-from-big-lie/ …

      This is really something. Republicans privately admit to the NYT that there's little rationale for new voting restrictions, given that 2020 went smoothly. This core point continues to get overlooked. Let's put more Republicans on the record on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/22/republicans-chris-carr-running-from-big-lie/ …pic.twitter.com/EMmS0gaq1w

          One of the slimiest GOP talking points of all is the idea that voting limits are needed to restore GOP voter "confidence" in elections. There's no *actual reason* to lack confidence. Yet Republicans are regularly allowed to skate with this nonsense: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/22/republicans-chris-carr-running-from-big-lie/ …pic.twitter.com/ku5xH9lElL

          Call your congressional delegation and thank them for the current voting protocols that worked so well this last election. Vote by mail. YES!! But if you don’t thank them, other voices will be heard. Democracy, be it!

          I’m not optimistic this will go any farther in Our Liberal Media than it is now.

          That’s because it’s not liberal when conservative corporations sign the checks.

          Dear media- here is how to ask the question: “Excuse me GOP Person, why is it that you support “reforming” elections when your only reason for doing so is because Trump told you to? Then watch them walk away or stutter. @CNN @MSNBC @CBSNews @abcnews That will be the tell.

          How can "news media" continue to overlook the core fact that Republicans KNOW what they're doing is bullshit? That the whole point is to circumvent free & fair elections because R's can't win elections otherwise. This is not some "both sides do it" because both sides don't.

          The reason they can't is because GOP doesn't want #democracy. GOP's largely succeeded in turning us into a #plutocracy already. GOP aims for #dictatorship/#kleptocracy/#oligarchy. Some even want #theocracy (Bill Barr). It's a #fascist party, doing fascist things. Via #propaganda.

          The Republicans are upset precisely because the election went smoothly.

          They are outraged because they set out to steal the election and they failed to do so. Then they had to go through a really messy effort to violently overthrow the peaceful transition of power and even that failed. Poor guys.

          And yet the media allows Republicans to frame the conversation as "necessary voting reforms" and a "both sides issue" instead of pushing back and calling them out on it....
