2022 was a prime example of many of your points. Both McConnell and McCarthy used PACs to undermine conservatives and the Dems cheated their way to victory again (AZ the prime example). In CO, they ran two fake R people in the R primary for SOS against Tina Peters, who was helping the Pillow guy. The winner was Pam Anderson who was on the board of Center for Tech and Civic Life, a 'non profit' funded by the Skoll Foundation, the Democracy Fund, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. This is the org that got $350m Zuck bucks. The Dem incumbent SOS won.

Further brings to mind Rocky Mountain Heist: https://www.freedomman.org/video/rocky-mountain-heist/

What a tragic way to lose our country. Also, they use sweet-sounding names for organizations that are anything but sweet: Center for Tech and Civic Life, indeed! Reclaim Idaho, indeed! BAH!

People lie, cheat and steal for no reason and no gain all the time. When given the chance to lie, cheat and steal for a “reason” they do it with gusto and in a state of euphoria. That is why the puppet masters spend more time with their naming conventions then the actual acts of deceit.

The worm may be turning in Texas but expect it to be nasty.

It seems almost impossible it could get nastier than it has been. It is one thing for a party to play dirty, but when they attract the other party to join in it's a new type of ballgame. That become a coach, pitcher and catcher against the opposing team and their own team. We saw that at the national level through 2016-2020 and again with the current mix in Congress.
