Kinzinger's political future sounds like it is in doubt. He's one of the few left in the GOP at the national level who is bucking Trump. Adam Kinzinger: Republicans Are ‘Frigging Crazy’ excerpts: “I don’t have a tribe,” Kinzinger told me when we spoke earlier this month. “The good thing is, I don’t really care. The only reason this hurts me is that it reminds me of how frigging crazy the Republican Party has become. It’s not my tribe anymore.” Kinzinger was in complete alignment with Graham and Pompeo back then—“I just assumed that we would be the core of people holding the torch for American leadership”—and I asked him why he thought they subsequently turned Trumpist. “Power,” he said. “I think it’s just power. Pompeo convinced himself that he would help temper some of the more isolationist tendencies of Trump, and then he bought into the idea that he could one day be president. And Lindsey—well, Lindsey just needs somebody to tell him where to go, a strongman. McCain was that guy. Now it’s Trump. It’s sad.”
Adam Kinzinger: Republicans Are ‘Frigging Crazy’ excerpt: "I asked Kinzinger if he thought he had been naive about the people who now lead the party. “You know, you always think that everyone has a red line. No matter how much politics a person can play, there’s a red line that people can’t cross. I was naive. There are some people who only care about access to power. I’m still coming to terms with this.”"
Adam Kinzinger: Republicans Are ‘Frigging Crazy’ excerpt: “Madison Cawthorn can invoke coming bloodshed, and Paul Gosar can flirt with white nationalism,” he said, naming two of his more extremist colleagues, “and they’re signing a letter asking to have me kicked out of the caucus. This is how far the Republican Party has fallen. They call me a RINO”—a Republican in Name Only—“but I haven’t changed. The Republican Party has changed into an authoritarian Trump organization. They’re the RINOs. Trump is a RINO.”
Five ways Trump tried to overturn a legitimate election through: The courts. Secretaries of state. State legislators Mike Pence Violent mob rule. Trump’s Plans for a Coup Are Now Public
Other ideas were entertained in the Trump circle, such as having the military take over the country and 'redo' elections in swing states Trump legitimately lost.
Trump is currently on a campaign to replace secretaries of state, state legislators, election board officials, clerks, and recorders with his truther narrative shills. It's the classic corruption and consolidation of power approach used by dictators. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez who voted to impeach Trump announced he won't be running for reelection in 2022. He is one of the victims. Others on the hit list include Cheney and Kinzinger.
According to the Woodward book, Pence asked Dan Quayle for knowledge regarding whether it was possible for a VP to essentially help overthrow an election. Adam Kinzinger: Republicans Are ‘Frigging Crazy’ excerpt: "Trump publicly hounded Pence to reject the results prior to the traditionally ceremonial electoral-vote count in Congress, and Pence reportedly took that demand seriously enough to seek advice from Dan Quayle on the matter, “asking if there were any grounds to pause the certification because of ongoing legal challenges,” according to Costa and Woodward."
Trump accused Democrats of trying to distract from the Arizona audit results, seemingly unaware that they confirm Biden's victory excerpt: "But Trump apparently didn't realize that news organizations in Arizona had obtained draft copies of the audit result. Reports on its results went live shortly before Trump's statement, and they made it clear that the recount showed that Biden had won, in line with the official result. In fact, the audit found that Biden had won the county by 99 more votes than in the original tally, while Trump received 261 fewer votes than in the original vote count."
