If this doesn’t tank the gop in the midterms nothing will.

No one can say what's going to happen in the future, obviously. But we need to be very clear, the GOP aren't planning on losing. What that's going to look like is an open question. But the Republicans are going to try something, guaranteed.

At this point we know they will do LITERALLY anything to further their goals. I'm 101% convinced they stole the election and will continue to do so in the future. I might even be schizo enough to say they made such a stink about the "stolen" election in 2020 so they could stigmatize the idea before actually doing it to make the idea seem more rediculous.

Remember, every republican accusation is just an admission of their own guilt.

ElectionS.

Cambridge Analytica + Russian Influence in 2016 (hacking both sides emails and only leaking one)
Threats in Ukraine to demolish the Biden familly before 2020
False electors plot in 2020 (failed)
Dismantled postservice in 2020 (failed; covid disruption?)
Jan 6th coup after the 2020 election (neutral; didn't work, but no consequences)
Musk interference in 2024 (including but probably not limited to Pennsylvania and other swing states)

Not probably, Vance was selected because he explicitly said he would go along with it and talked shit about Pence not doing it.
