Get this — Trump now declares that Republicans won’t vote in the 2022 midterms or the 2024 presidential election if fraud is not uncovered to show he was the winner of the 2020 race.

Yet, most Republicans in Congress are still marching along with this farce, which is getting dangerously close to throwing GOP chances of gaining a majority in the House in 2022 over the edge — along with American democracy.

Trump is now boldly asking followers in Congress to show their devotion to him by derailing the House investigation into the murderous assault on the Capitol by his supporters.

The “real insurrection,” he said last week, came not in the violence at the Capitol but on Election Day 2020.

But most House Republicans continue standing by Trump and Bannon.

6 panel's ranking member House votes to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress MORE (R-Calif.) has sent out word that GOP lobbyists and consultants risk blacklisting if they work with Rep.

6 committee chair: 'No question' Capitol riot was a premeditated attack All eyes on Garland after Bannon contempt vote 'You're a joke': Greene clashes with Cheney, Raskin on House floor MORE (R-Wyo.), Trump’s most prominent critic among Capitol Hill Republicans.

A majority, 66 percent of Republicans, told a Yahoo News/YouGov poll in August they still believe “the election was rigged and stolen from Trump.” Just 18 percent say they believe “Joe BidenJoe BidenRand Paul calls for Fauci's firing over 'lack of judgment' Dems look to keep tax on billionaires in spending bill Six big off-year elections you might be missing MORE won fair and square.”.

Instead, they are captives — locked into an endless loop of lies run on high-speed repeat between Trump, conservative talk shows, elected officials and Republican voters.

A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found 66 percent of self-described Republican voters said they did not consider the January 6 Capitol insurrection to be “an attack on the government.”.

That same poll found that 77 percent of Republican voters said they do not hold Trump responsible for it.

It is a matter of history that Trump asked the mob to come to Washington to protest Congress certifying the election.
