a number of Democrats tried to boost far-right Republican candidates whom they deemed easier to beat in November.
The strategy seems to have paid off: In high-profile races where Democratic candidates or groups successfully used the strategy during the primaries, all of the Republicans they helped have either lost or are trailing, two days after Election Day.
A perfect example of short term thinking that plagues US politics. Democrats boosted popularity of the far right to win a primary. This directly contributed to the republicans party sliding further into MAGA territory. Now, dems are looking at a wipe out by Trump in the coming election. This continues the great tradition of liberals ushering in fascism.
This is some next-level fucked up man-behind-the-man-behind-the-curtain conspiracy bullshit.
It’s literally a documented fact.
Has anyone reported on it aside from a self-proclaimed conservative news outlet?
Edit: Just found NPR reporting on it
That doesn’t change that this planet can’t burn up soon enough.
Yay context!
