Republicans in Congress have turned to literally memes. As in they're downloading shitty low-effort memes and printing them out REALLY BIG and display them in Congress instead of having a point to make. They're just pointing at the memes and saying that's the proof.
So the entire point is that it's a photo stunt to go viral on social media. Unlike the low-energy Democrats who use their fancy talky-words and *don't* have colorful cartoon cut-outs to go with them. And of course they'll get more media exposure doing it so continue to do it. Republicans in Congress seem like they're going to end up just synonymous with people who download memes and do "reaction videos" to the memes to get attention.

The really incredibile thing is this behaviour is the same in EVERY western country.
What a cultural shipwreck.

It bears similarity, but it's not the same.The US is operating at a magnitude way beyond everywhere else.

Yeah I was just reading about that in the news here. In fact, the latest audit slightly *increased* Biden's lead ;D This audit was already questionable for pulling out all the stops to prove fraud, being non-transparent and using several scientifically questionable methodologies. So they were hand picked to pull literally every trick in the book to make it look like fraud happened ... but still found diddly squat.
However, Trump is merely claiming that the fact the recount *happened* backs him up. He and his supporters are entirely immune to the actual contents of the audit. So, the audit happened, that's the proof now, and if you actually dig into the audit yourself you're "fake news". This is how it works.
When we say they're operating at surface level reality it really is exactly that: Laura Loomer's "historically accurate" book is based on "real life headlines", Marjorie Taylor Greene presents "real" memes in Congress and Trump promotes an audit to merely claim vindication when it's published regardless of what the audit finds.
EDIT:

Republican-run Maricopa county is now saying the audit is flawed, therefore you should discredit it. What's their evidence however? Basically all the stuff the audit did to rig things IN FAVOR of the Republicans.
Quote:
It also hit at Cyber Ninjas for allowing “Stop the Steal” advocates to volunteer in the auditing process, as well as welcoming “at least one candidate who appeared on the 2020 General Election ballot to be part of the ballot review process.”
However I suspect this is the local Republican leaders trying to save their own skin since if there is a "steal" they'd be personally implicated in it. So it's lead to the odd situation of Republicans saying you just can't trust an audit that came out pro-Biden because the people doing the audit were too pro-Trump.

The entire thing should have ended when the Trump supporter who voted for Trump twice and was appointed by Trump to oversee the 2020 election said it was the most secure and accurate election ever.

Voting twice is doubling down on democracy, he's the true patriot.
