#NeverTrumpers Plan To Grade Republicans With A “Democracy Report Card”

Fake Conservative Grifters gonna grift, you know

Anti-Trump conservative group to grade GOP lawmakers on whether they uphold (or undermine) democracy

An anti-Trump conservative group is launching an effort to track and evaluate whether Republicans in Congress, in the group’s view, have acted to either undermine or uphold democracy and democratic values and what role, if any, they played in attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

The Republican Accountability Project has created what it’s calling a “GOP Democracy Report Card,” which assigns grades to Republican members of Congress ranging from an “A,” which the group describes as excellent, to an “F,” which it describes as very poor. The details of the report card were first shared with CNN ahead of its release on Monday.

The group behind the effort, the Republican Accountability Project, is led by Republicans and conservatives who were outspoken in their opposition against former President Donald Trump’s reelection, including former Trump administration officials Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann. The group operates as part of the advocacy organization Defending Democracy Together founded by prominent Trump critic Bill Kristol and Sarah Longwell, a longtime conservative and Republican consultant.

Only 14 Republicans in Congress received an “A,” the highest possible grade. In contrast, more than 100 Republicans received an “F,” the lowest possible grade.

These are all people who gave up on their conservative principles and beliefs simply because Donald Trump was elected. None of them ever really pointed what Trump did that wasn’t conservative, it was all based on Trump Derangement Syndrome. None of them ever said “hey, Trump trying to enforce federal immigration law was great. All those judges Trump put on federal courts, including SCOTUS, was great. Supporting our ally Israel was great. Not starting new wars was great. And so much war.” Nah, it was “ZOMG, mean tweets!” Very few Never Trumpers ever became rational. I simply stopped listening to Glenn Beck during the 2016 general election due to his TDS tirades. Beck eventually learned when we got into 2017 that Trump was doing good things for conservatives. I’m betting this “conservative” group would give most Democrats A’s and B’s if they rated them.

In an interview, Troye, a former top aide to Vice President Mike Pence who now serves as a director of the Republican Accountability Project, described the report card as a “reference tool” and informational resource for voters that can be updated over time in light of new events and Republican lawmakers’ actions.

Troye, who calls herself “a radically moderate conservative,” said the report card “says a lot about where the Republican Party is” and “speaks to the overall direction of where the GOP is based on where Trump has played a role and led it and how Trumpism has taken ahold of the base of the party.”

The grades are based on a set of four criteria and how lawmakers acted in relation to them, including whether a GOP lawmaker objected to the certification of Electoral College votes and if he or she voted to impeach or convict Trump for inciting the deadly January 6 attack.

In other words, this is, in fact, all about Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nothing more, nothing less.

The other two criteria the Republican Accountability Project evaluated lawmakers on was whether they have publicly made statements that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and whether they signed on to an amicus brief backing a lawsuit from Texas to the Supreme Court that sought to overturn the results of the election in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia.

So, this “conservative” group (made up mostly of people who wanted hardcore leftist Joe Biden elected, and helped get Dems elected to the Senate), which wants to uphold Democracy, has no problem with Democrats cheating. The same people rating Republicans were also claiming Trump stole the 2016 election by working with Putin.

Some of the GOP lawmakers assigned an “A” grade according to the rating system include: Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska as well as House GOP conference chair Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House Republican.

Some of the GOP lawmakers who received an “F” grade include: House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of California, House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 House Republican, and Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, who recently announced a Senate campaign and placed his baseless opposition to the certification of the 2020 election at the center of his candidacy.

So, the least Conservative members, people who are barely even Republican in political beliefs, get A’s, and people with pretty good Conservative beliefs get F’s? Surprise? Grifters gonna grift. Really, this report card shows exactly which Republicans should get primaried: those who get ranked high by this silly TDS project.

Seriously, Never Trumpers, just move on. This amount of hate can’t be good for what’s left of your mental health.
