What a weekend. While Lindsey Graham was on the Sunday shows advocating that the GOP and Donald Trump, specifically, move on and leave the 2020 election behind them, in Wisconsin, stolen election conspiracy theorist Tim Ramthun announced he was running for governor. What that means is that the 2022 election will be all about the 2020 election, a futile move which keeps us all trapped like flies in amber. But of course, this is what Donald Trump wants and Ramthun is one of those GOPers.
Tom Ramthun kicked off his campaign for WI Gov today on a platform of overturning the 2020 election. “When I become Gov, this stuff is going to get attacked properly and correctly so we can get the justice we deserve.” Michael Flynn and Mike Lindell spoke at the rally in support. pic.twitter.com/0MTcVVIiU7

This puts it succinctly.
I would like to encourage Republicans to continue to run in 2022 on the 2020 election being ‘stolen,’ the Durham Report, J6 was an FBI false flag operation, Trump as Speaker, and two more years of investigations of Hillary Clinton, Anthony Fauci, and Hunter Biden.

Doesn’t that sound grand? The net effect of all these policies is that we will gain nothing, nothing, and nothing. And that’s about what the GOP stands for these days. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Ramthun enters the Republican primary for governor as the second campaign focused on ousting Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, whose decision to remove a full-time staff member from Ramthun’s legislative office over false election claims engendered statewide support for the Fond du Lac County lawmaker and his staffer, who received a standing ovation Saturday.
Supporters flashed signs that read “Decertify Now!!” on one side and “Toss Vos” on the other.
Lindell kicked off the three-hour rally, telling the hundreds of supporters from across Wisconsin that Ramthun could shift Wisconsin’s electoral votes to former President Donald Trump more than a year after the 2020 election. The event also featured a phoned-in endorsement from Michael Flynn, who briefly served as Trump’s national security adviser.
“He will be the best governor Wisconsin ever had,” said Lindell, the chief executive offic of MyPillow. […]
The crowd hollered as Lindell detailed how a review of the election was thwarted by Ramthun’s fellow Republicans who control the Legislature. Courts, recounts, reviews and an audit have confirmed Biden won the state.
“You needed Fox (News) to pull this off,” Lindell said. “They go silent — our voices that we trusted to bring this all out were gone.”
The Wisconsin Republican base remains focused on the 2020 election and how such contests will be carried out in the future. The issue that has fueled rage against Vos, who earned boos Saturday from the crowd because they view his efforts to probe the election as insufficient.
This is the way of sheer madness. This is one race to keep your eyes on, for sure.
