Kari Lake apparently doesn't want the votes to count for the GOP primary and is getting torched for it

I have found the peak of Republican irony:

Guys, the whole reason the Dems think what they're doing with ballot harvesting and majority-rule is morally correct is because they believe that they are the future.

With egos bigger than the solar system, they honestly think that they are, like Thanos, inevitable.

Because they think their beliefs represent "progress," they see no issue with cheating or lying. One can be factually wrong but morally correct, according to them!

We have these processes in place for a reason. Power must be checked and balanced at every turn. The people, not Kari Lake and Fox News polls, should determine who will represent them. At its core, republicanism is the belief that the best system is one with separate branches of government – the separation of powers – that keeps tyranny at bay. The core of democrat thought, meanwhile, is that the will of the people (even if only 51%), should rule supreme over any institutional fences meant to protect society from mob rule and uneducated chaos. The former rests on the belief that power corrupts, the latter on the belief that power must be used. They are polar opposites.

Which is why, when a "Republican" demands conformance to a particular leader, I immediately do the Michael Scott meme.

This tweet honestly caused me to lose a lot of respect for Kari, considering that the media used her as a punching bag while her opponent – who was overseeing her own election – sat in her office and refused to debate (and is now governor of Arizona).

Here were some other reactions:

I'll leave you with this thought: I believe Joe Biden announced he's running for president again because the Democrat machine believes Trump will be the GOP nominee, and the polls for the general election show Trump easily losing again to Joe in 2024.

You may not want to hear it, but I am telling you, the vast majority of this nation, even if they respect Trump as one of the best presidents we've had in generations, don't want the drama of a 2020 repeat. The vast majority of God-fearing, loving, dutiful conservatives that I personally know are not excited about voting for Trump, let alone those in the middle, who would rather have their fingernails pulled off than have to make a choice between those two men again.

Where do we go from here? Well, to the primaries. If Donald Trump is the man for the job, then let him prove it on the field of battle.

Let us go with the knowledge that no power vested in a single person will fix this country, no matter how badly we want our frustrations to rage through him or her on the national stage. Beware the lure of power, my friends.
