: Hypocritical Republicans follow the new script in the wake of Trump's latest indictment - When it comes to Republican lawmakers, hypocrisy knows no bounds, especially when it comes to Donald Trump. With rare exception, they either loudly support the MAGA cult, or are afraid to challenge it so much so that the GOP should probably be renamed POT (Party of Trump), as in 'the GOP has gone to POT.' In the wake of Trump's fourth criminal indictment brought Monday by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, charging Trump and 18 associates with racketeering in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election elected Republicans have predictably jumped to Trump's defense. The Georgia indictment follows the federal indictment brought by special counsel Jack Smith on Aug. 1, charging Trump with conspiring to subvert American democracy by scheming to reverse Joe Biden's presidential victory. Incredibly, the latest talking point for Trump defenders is that if Democrats want to ensure Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, isn't elected president in 2024, they should let it happen at the ballot box rather than in the courthouse. This script ignores entirely that so many of Trump's legal issues stem from the fact that he wouldn't concede that the previous presidential election had been decided at the ballot box.

Trump has also backed election deniers in races for key state offices (fortunately, most have lost) that could help undermine voters in 2024. Americans have no guarantee that he wouldn't push the replay button on the well-documented 'fake electors' scheme of 2020 in the face of another loss to Joe Biden in 2024.
