Probably more likely he was “winning” against Biden for months and had no plan for if he dropped out. Now he’s flailing. He could very well end the Republican party as is it currently. Hopefully they return to not being freaks.
As long as we’re hoping, why not hope they fracture permanently into two or three parties that hate each other too much to ever work together and never have enough votes alone to ever win another seat anywhere.
Sorry, no rose colour glasses here, they’ve always been freaks, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, petty. Have a listen to Slow Burn The Nixon season to see how little they’ve changed.
He doesn’t intend to win this election by votes and his plan doesn’t need votes in the future.
Johnson will refuse to certify the results of the election that put Democrats in the House, claiming some kind of bullshit irregularities with no proof, leaving the House controlled by the Republicans. They’ll then claim irregularities in the presidential election and force a contingent election where they have a 100% chance of electing Trump no matter what the public votes. The worse that Dipshit Don loses, the stronger his argument about the vote being stolen will be, and the more his ravenous shitheel base will eat it up.
More people need to be made aware that this is 100% legal for them to do, and more people need to be aware that it is almost certainly what they will try. The only thing that can possibly stop it is significant awareness by the mass population of Americans and significant publicity (similar to how mass awareness of Project 2025 turned it into a poison pill).
If they do that I hope we rise up and revolt. Are we really going sit back and have fascism literally steal the election? Biden going just roll over with this?
I’m starting to think he wants to lose. This concerns me more than him winning, he could be planning January 6th on a larger scale .

Predicable Republican Fuckery for 2028! I miss when the Monopoly man hung out with the Jesus freaks. They should make a sequel.

EDIT: Oh look, they’ve already started making it super-legal in battleground states: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/06/georgia-local-election-boards-allowed-withhold-vote-certification
Time will tell. I didn’t have faith in McConnell or Pence to protect our institutions on January 6th but they did the right thing in the end.
There is nothing in this world I would love more than to be wrong about this, that’s for sure.

IMO No doubt they are planning to get nasty
Go for it. If they want to be squashed out, let them.
