I am in awe of the destruction being wrought against the RNC/GOP by MAGA. With surgical precision, TFG and team have wiped out all the structural elements of GOP success in state level legislatures. This makes sense if you're remaking the RNC into a singularly focused

"keep trump out of jail" organization. Helping anybody else detracts from that goal.

I remember a Dem "autopsy report" from one of the elections where the GOP gained trifectas in multiple state governments. It pointed out the following things the GOP was extremely effective with.

2) Unified global communication / messaging
3) minority outreach
4) Canvassing
5) Data operation (individual voter targeting)

Republicans have not acted as if they need to be elected in many, many years. They are focused full force on authoritarianism. Hopefully, they won't be able to steal this election, but if they do, destroying all the political structures now will benefit them.

I agree with you. These are dangerous times and the GOP has acted like they win no matter what.

One irony though is that the RWM machine + RNC machine got massive numbers of voters to vote against their own interests reliably. I guess my take is that this machine is being dismantled and it will
