What's that all about? Isn't that counter-productive? Is the extreme right now ready to cut their noses off to spite their faces?

for qualification, the waldo offers up the left biased Daily Beast: Roger Stone-Tied Group Threatens GOP: If Trump Goes Down, So Does Your Senate Majority --- The group becomes the latest in a growing list of Trump backers who are encouraging people to either not vote in the runoffs or write in the president’s name.

Conservative operatives and a super PAC with ties to infamous GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone are calling for Trump supporters to punish Republicans by sitting out Georgia’s crucial Senate runoffs or writing in Trump’s name instead. And though their efforts remain on the party’s fringes, the trajectory of the movement has Republicans fearful that it could cost the GOP control of the Senate.

The most aggressive call to boycott or cast protest ballots in the two runoff races has, so far, come from a dormant pro-Trump super PAC with ties to Stone that unveiled a new initiative to retaliate against the Republican Party’s supposed turncoats by handing Democrats control of the U.S. Senate.

The group, dubbed the Committee for American Sovereignty, unveiled a new website encouraging Georgia Republicans to write in Trump’s name in both of the upcoming Senate runoff elections, which could determine the party that controls the upper chamber during President-elect Joe Biden’s first two years in office. The PAC argued that doing so will show support for the president in addition to forcing Republicans to address the wild election-fraud conspiracy theories floated by Trump supporters and members of his own legal team.

“If we can do this, we have a real chance at getting these RINO senators to act on the illegitimate and corrupt election presided over by a Democrat party that is invested in the Communist takeover of Our Great Nation,” the group wrote on its new website, writeintrumpforgeorgiasenate.com. “We will not stop fighting for you, the American Patriot, against the evils of Socialism and inferior Religions.”

Trump-boosters like Lin Wood calling for Trump supporters to not vote for Perdue and Loeffler in the Georgia runoffs unless the GOP does "something" to help Trump overturn the election.

Really, who cares.  The election isn't going to be overturned. Some Trumptards might follow through on the threat to stay home; most will hold to the party line that says the Republican senate majority is the last line of defense against liberal policies taking over America. The threat of gun control alone will be enough to convince Georgia Republicans to vote for Loeffler and Perdue.

So this is really just internal Republican drama that doesn't change anything for anybody. The Georgia runoff elections are still very high stakes for both parties, and the Democrats will have to campaign like their lives hang in the balance regardless.  If Roger Stone does help sink Loeffler and Perdue, that's some sweet karma though.
