Republicans are just a bunch of fucking animals. ---

It appears that all loser Republicans are drinking the q-anon/conspiracy theory kool-aid. Culp needs to fuck right off and go back to playing Barnie Fife. Of course he got his ass fired so he’ll have to find someone else stupid enough to pay him. > **[Culp won't concede governor's race, saying it would 'disenfranchise' voters](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/nov/09/culp-wont-concede-governors-race-saying-it-would-d/)** > > Republican gubernatorial candidate Loren Culp repeated today that he won't concede he has lost the race, saying to do so would "disenfranchise" voters whose ballots are still being counted. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > It appears that all loser Republicans are drinking the q-anon/conspiracy theory kool-aid. It’s not just the losers. Have we not been paying attention the last 4 years? From refusing to condemn white supremacy to blatant lying on a daily basis to doing nothing to stop a pandemic to seeking foreign intelligence aid to change American elections. There is nothing Trump can do that will stop Republicans from supporting him. I fully expect over the next few weeks more and more Republicans to jump on his “election fraud” bandwagon. Something that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago will be par for the Republican course. They are a bunch of spineless, power-hungry hatemongers who care only for their political party and would make a deal with Satan to maintain their power. Accepting this election fraud farce will only been the latest in a long litany of cowardly, dishonorable acts that party will do. ---

They will keep pushing the boundaries of what is considered normal until something breaks. I don’t see this behavior ending anytime soon; I think we’re just getting started. They’ve barely been hiding their contempt for democracy for years, and now they’re not even hiding it. ---

How adorable, a baby ShitGibbon. Trailing by about half a million votes, a 13.8% margin, with 97% of the count in (less than 200K to count), Loren Culp says [this race (for governor of WA) is not over](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/with-no-path-to-victory-culp-refuses-to-concede/ar-BB1aJoyj). And his city (the county seat) has disbanded its police force (will rely on the county sheriff), leaving him looking for a job. ---

Of course, the real difference between him and the lead shitgibbon is that (most of) the urban parts of the state shut that shit down. Even some reliably Republican counties thought he was too much. ---
