We now have about a dozen Senators along with maybe a hundred House members who will baselessly contest the certification of Joe Biden in a few days. They don't believe the election is fraudulent. Maybe a few of the dumber House members do, but I would guess the ones who really believe that there was fraud can be counted on one hand.
The question therefore is whether they are cynical trying to light American electoral democracy on fire so they can capture Trump's fervid cultists or whether they are simply cowards before that same group. They could see that sucking up to the OANN/Breitbart/Epoch Times whackaloons as a way to position themselves for 2024. Trump will likely face multiple indictments (whether you can find 12 impartial jurors is an open question). So maybe they think they can seize his position. I doubt it.
Maybe instead they fear the fate of Jeff Flake and others who dared get out of step with Trump.
The whole party needs to be burned to the ground.
