Chaos engulfs Michigan Republicans after election-denying chair’s removal
theguardian.com

Michigan’s Republican party has devolved into feuding factions – and at this point, it’s not even clear who, if anyone, is in charge.

Kristina Karamo, the Michigan GOP’s election-denying chair, was ousted in a 6 January vote held during a special meeting called by state committee members critical of Karamo. But she and the faction that support her have refused to step down, further inflaming the chaos that has engulfed the swing-state Republican party with the 2024 presidential election just months away. On Saturday, the party will meet to vote on a new state party leader.

Even if Karamo’s opponents succeed in choosing a new chair this weekend, their vote is unlikely to settle the matter – dragging the beleaguered party deeper into internal conflict that promises to escalate as the 2024 elections approach.

It's "we" if I'm a Republican...

I'm not, but I'm not a Democrat either

Childish yeah. On this topic, let me try one (dad) joke :
They lost the chair, what a big deal ! They just have to use the sofa instead 😋

Maybe this is how the Purge gets started. Presented in a way that makes it sound good to MAGAs, but everyone is else is just thinking of them.
