âThere are an awful lot of people that think itâs the great thing to do all the time, but I canât help but think if I hadnât been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I wouldâve gotten it,â Gohmert said in an interview with KETK. âI know moving the mask around, getting it just right, Iâm bound to have put some virus on the mask that I sucked in. Thatâs most likely what happened.â - Louie Gohmert

Washington Post, longtime political observer Paul Waldman wrote, âMcConnell has already given up on the idea of Trump being reelected, and heâs planning for the future,â Waldman said the Kentucky Republican would rather the economy continue to flounder under the current president and let Joe Biden inherit a mess â then blame him if he doesnât clean it up quickly." âMcConnell knows whatâs happening. ...From where he sits, the best outcome now is to use the next stimulus package to win minor ideological victories, but NOT allow it to be substantial enough to help in a genuine recovery." If and when Biden becomes president in 2021, the situation maybe worse. And The WORSE things are in the country at that point, the BETTER it is for Republicans. Just as they did with Barack Obama, they can blame Democrats for their own mistakes, then force austerity measures that sabotage the economy and slow the recovery.â
Adding that only someone who was singularly âamoralâ would be willing to allow the continuing destruction of the country to advance his personal agenda, Waldman dryly stated: âIn other words, youâd have to be Mitch McConnell.â
Cash out or bet it all, the party in D.C. sees the writing on the wall. They have already glutted themselves on the various money streams coming from the Treasury for Covid 'assistance.' Four members of Congress received PPP money and Trump blew off any oversight. That deficit bubble is going to bust much faster than anyone anticipated. Financiers and Businesses are beginning to send their campaign donations to Biden, despite the possible threat of raising their taxes from 21 to 28% (it was 36% before Trump). They site the dismal response to the coronavirus is killing the economy and that foreign business and banking are treating them with pity, laughter, and suspicion. Apparently, the U.S. can't be trusted. Imagine that. Other GOP members are 'retiring' after a nice long run. Others are slowly watching their political fortunes go down the rabbit hole of utter incompetence. There's a growing consensus that these next few months will see a silent retreat from him. Not overt, but certainly understood by all. Hospital beds are filling along with caskets and the Economy is crushed. From the hums on the hill, Trump will find himself increasingly a leper within his own party by the election.
âWhen they go off to college, quite frankly they get involved with these Marxist, socialist universities ,and they start getting indoctrinated with things that are completely polar opposite from where you raised them,â Regan told local TV.
But recently there has been a shift among GOP voters that is different not just in degree of virulence, but also in kind. For a host of different reasons, core Republican voters have begun to reconstitute themselves as a conspiracy theory cult devoted to beliefs that were once relegated to the farthest fringeâfictions that cannot help but end in civil conflict and violence if they fully become canon among conservative voters nationwide. This process arguably began as far back as Glenn Beckâs prominence on Fox News, but it has now blossomed into a grandiose collective paranoid fantasy.
You could have written the exact same article about the Democratic party during the 2nd Bush administration. Hell, this very forum looked like a QAnon fever swamp, just with a different target and different set of conspiracy theories.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent GOP campaigns a 57-page messaging strategy that urged Republican candidates to blame China for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a document obtained by Politico.
The memo said candidates should blame their opponents for not being tough on China and called for them to reject claims that calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus" is racist.
The document, created by strategist Brett O'Donnell, said candidates should not defend the president's handling of the pandemic, and to pivot to blaming the Chinese government if Trump's response is questioned.
The NRSC distributed the report but did not commission it, according to Politico.
