I'm curious how the GOP will undo the damage of their "voter fraud" outcry. They stuck so close to that headline to try and overturn the election last year, and even though some elected Republicans have obviously come out against this vocally because they see the long term effects of it (mainly Sasse), it seems a TON of registered/identifying Republicans still believe the election was stolen and their votes were disenfranchised. How do you reinstill confidence in that base that voting matters and is necessary? As demonstrated by Georgia, the voter fraud lie measurably suppressed GOP voter turnout and was a HUGE conservative blow.
Do you somehow get Trump on camera admitting that he was just "mistaken," and that the election was legitimate? Not that there's ANY chance of that ever happening, but I can't see a convincing path forward where the GOP can persuasively lobby for voter turnout AND retain the vindictive, vengeful attitude about the 2020 election (and maybe the recent run offs) being illegitimately stolen. How do you get your impressionable, insipid base to believe that the only recourse to "get back" at the demonic socialists for stealing an election is by... going out and voting in elections?
