> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Rep. Ralph Norman, one of the three congressional Republicans suing Speaker Nancy Pelosi over fines for not wearing masks during a vote on the U.S. House floor, has contracted a breakthrough case of COVID-19, the second member of South Carolina’s delegation to do so. So they watched Trump get away with Lying and Posturing Full-Time. And they thought: _hey! This works!!! People we lie to LOVE us for it! It’s foolproof—let’s make our party platform “Lying And Posturing 24/7/365.”_ … And then they learned that there’s something called “reality.” **#GOPsoSad** ---

Odd that those designs use the colors of the flag of China. I thought the Trumpites were admirers of Russia? Also, as mentioned in another thread: probably the “ID number” will be identical on all, because it costs money to print cards with differing numbers. Former Republican Steve Schmidt today offered a tweet thread with some other designs likely to find favor with Trumpites: > **[Read and Share Twitter Threads easily!](https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1423134529129107466.html)** > > Thread Reader helps you read and share the best of Twitter Threads The original twitter page: [https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES/status/1423134529129107466](https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES/status/1423134529129107466) ---

Um… Somebody has already pointed out, in one of these related threads, that Republicans don’t _need_ voters any more. With the voter suppression and election-hijacking rules they are passing, winning votes is no longer necessary for them. ---

Besides, minds are already made up. There is a house a mile away that has a banner proclaiming “Trump 2024, FUCK your feelings”. (And a big fuck you to the kids who walk that road every day, but who cares?) ---

A couple weekends ago there was a small plane flying around with a TRUMP 2020 banner behind it. People in cars were waving and pointing and honking at it. His supporters are out there, and they are stupid. It makes me want to put out a sign with “Never Trump, fuck YOUR feelings.” Because it’s ok for them to insult others but hurt their widdle feewings and suddenly you’re the bad guy. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Sure, wonderful, but the closer it is, the more perilously inviting it is for the GOP to blather “_recount!_” This assumes logic is being respected. If it is close, then “recount” If it is not close, then “clearly the Dems have cheated because there’s no way it could be a blowout” It’s always “Head I win, Tails you lose” with these assholes. ---
