If you know you’re going to lose, because you have nothing but hate as your platform; then cheating is literally the only option left
Or, you know, accepting the loss. But fascists don't consider that option.
A healthy political party would look at their declining votes and then figure out what policy changes would get more votes. (For example, maybe drop the whole anti-LGBTQ thing and go all in on "The government shouldn't tell us how to live our lives.")
The GOP isn't a healthy political party, though. Instead of changing to suit the voters, they want to change who votes to better align with their policies.
I used to hope that the GOP would toss out the crazies and save themselves from oblivion. Now, I think they're too far gone. They need to go and the Democrats need to split into Centrists and Progressives.
