Which will basically let state governments (minus the governor or judiciary) overturn their electoral results, meaning that if enough StopTheSteal politicians in enough states want to, they could just negate how their states voted and hand 2024 off to Trump or Desantis even if Biden wins at first :agony-limitless:

    Yall think this is so they can enshrine GOP forever more, no. Capital doesn't give a shit if it's GOP or Dems (and neither do they, winning doesnt matter anymore). They did this because they had the fear of God put in em when Bernie - a tepid mild socdem, no communist - almost won a primary. So they're patching out the legalistic electoralism option and if anyone dares get close to the big kahuna office again they have the emergency stop button.

      It's probably more the GOP enshrinement, to be honest. We're at the culmination of a ~40 year, explicitly planned right-wing takeover of the federal judiciary.
