If you’re going to go bonkers, you might as well go screaming banana bonkers while you’re at it. David Perdue has gone full Trump, Big Lie.
This is dangerous. This is the worst fears of sane people being realized. Not only is Perdue claiming that he was wronged in his last election, he’s paving the way for any Republican who was defeated to claim fraud and for any Republican ever defeated in the future to claim fraud.
This could be the death knell of our democracy, right here. If that sounds dramatic, you tell me how to interpret a senate candidate legally losing and then coming back the following year with this drivel. How does that bode anything but disastrously for this republicc?
Ahead of Trump’s visit, David Perdue echoes the former president by falsely saying he didn’t lose his Senate race either.

Trump may be planning another coup in 2024. This comment by Perdue would certainly seem to validate what has already been presupposed and gamed out.

Maybe we should just start calling January 6 “The Rehearsal.”
It takes real losers to take this tack. How embarrassing it’s got to be: you not only lost, your a sore loser on top of it. Members of the G.Q.P. are as stupid as they are corrupt.
Well, Ursula, this must confirm my status as insane because I am NOT one iota freaked out by this sore loser screaming “HE CHEATED!” at the top of his lungs. He’s got no real support left, so this is all he can think to say. If that thought seems shallow, that would be because IT IS.
General Grant’s orders to his subordinate generals remains a timely reminder: worry less about what the other guy is doing and worry more about what you’re going to do. That’s a big part of how come Ukraine is currently winning, by the by.
I couldn’t agree more. This is sour grapes on steroids.
The GQP doesn’t care about Democracy and hasn’t for several decades. If they really believed in it, they’d agree to do away with gerrymandering, the electoral college and the current use of the filibuster. They’ve been on the losing end of the popular vote for decades, and their hardcore base consists of evangelicals, Qanon nutcases, the uneducated and non-thinkers, and the uber rich, all of whom are in the minority. If we could get everyone who believes in Democracy to get off their asses and to the polls, Republicans would be toast.
Rainyj Oh you are so right. I have learned that the election in Georgia was swung toward Biden because of a record turnout of the Black vote. 30%! I mean good God, If the rest of those black voters got off their disinterested asses, the GOP would never elect another Rep. 30% turnout is pitiful, absolutely pitiful! And the Electoral Collège? Please give me a break!
Well, what else would you expect him to say. As the tRump endorsed candidate, he is about to lose to Brian Kemp. So, of course, anytime he loses, it’s cheating. In a primary, with only rethugs voting, how he can sell that garbage is mind-boggling. This is an example of how totally stupid tRump’s endorsees are. Perdue is totally an establishment, Koch-friendly, let me get mine, kind of rethug. Definitely not a MAGA. And tRump saying he is one doesn’t make it so.
“Not only is Perdue claiming that he was wronged in his last election, he’s paving the way for any Republican who was defeated to claim fraud and for any Republican ever defeated in the future to claim fraud.”
That’s why EVERY Democratic candidate who loses in November needs to IMMEDIATELY cry “foul” and that “the election was stolen” (even before final votes are tallied). And the real beauty is that GOPers CANNOT complain about the Democratic “sore losers” without being tarred and feathered as massive hypocrites and further showing their own claims as completely without merit. It’s the ONLY way to put an end to all this “stolen election” bullshit.
Maybe Perdue should be charged for being an asshole oxygen thief.
