Subject: Get on board the liar train
or get out of the Trump party.
New reporting from The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey suggests that fealty to this Trumpworld idea is becoming a litmus test for people seeking (or hoping to retain) jobs with the Republican Party. The effective ouster of Ronna McDaniel as the party’s chair and Trump’s confirmation as the GOP presidential nominee meant an overhaul of the party itself. Among the changes: quizzing at least some potential employees on their views of the 2020 election.
A Republican/Trump spokeswoman insisted that the questions were simply aimed at seeking out “experienced staff with meaningful views on how elections are won and lost and real experience-based opinions about what happens in the trenches.” It’s not hard to peel away the veneer here: The party wants their employees to espouse the view and opinion that 2020 was ripped away from Donald Trump.
By checking for fealty to the false “stolen” narrative at the outset, Trump’s allies aren’t simply weeding out people who disagree, they’re weeding out people who won’t acquiesce to the Trumpian approach to reality. They’re not just getting rid of people who won’t go along on this one subject; they’re getting rid of people who won’t go along in general.
Another authoritarian move from the MAGA party. See where this is all going Trumpers?
