Is this normal?

In the last month or two, the following Dems have switched to GOP

Rep. Marvin Robinson, Kansas

Rep. Francis Thompson, Louisiana

Rep. Tricia Cotham, North Carolina

Riverside, NJ Mayor Mike Higgins (flipping the township committee to a 3-2 Republican majority)

East Hanover, NJ Mayor Joseph Pannullo and all four members of the township council will switch from Democratic to Republican, marking a complete party flip in the township of 11,105 people

Am I mistaken or does all this feel...unlikely? In each case, the defectors allowed Republicans to take control either through a majority or supermajority, which makes me have to ask are they being bought off? Or is this sort of thing normal even when it happens en mass like this?

1. I think Sinema was love bombed by a right wing psychopath.

She's been all giddy and in love for the last few years.

11. There's a connection to Clarence Thomas, and his Billionaire friend Harlan Crow, who has been giving

Sinema and Manchin cash.

2. The GOP obviously identifies key players needed to take control.

And then has some sort of "discussions" with them.

17. It's OK. Yes I did.

Love bombing can be complicated, intense, diabolical, and use every trick in the book.

Not just in romantic relationships, but other situations as well.
This is how the Russians recruit US spies too.

6. Somebody needs to do a deep dive into why they switched,

Are they being blackmailed? Bought off? Are they wolves in sheep's clothing? We need to get to the bottom of this. As it turns out, Tricia cotham is reported to be having an affair with the Republican speaker of the NC house.

12. It smells like bribery to me.

I wonder if the community could get ACLU to file a group lawsuit to have them removed as they were voted in as DEMS and have offended the will of the people by switching.

AFTER their term was complete and they could be re-elected or not, but in the middle is "bait and switch" realistically.

Dems have offended the will of the people by way of their policies. Hence why people are switching.

The switchers are also defying the media.

No small thing.

"Is this normal?" is the question they should be asking their own party, with respect to its direction and the policies they promote.

Some people don't like firm sharp stances on, well, whatever. Among Rs there are (or were) ardent Trump-Haters.

The Dem Party has been driving out Pro-Life people for a couple of decades. Attacking parents wanting their children to have a good education rather than indoctrination is having consequences. Tolerating attacks and making on Jewish people is having consequences. Tolerating and obscuring people who attack east and south Asians is having consequences. Going full :lalala:  :lalala:  :lalala: on how the Dem Party is driving away reasonable people means it will continue.

Dem voting numbskulls asking about what's normal.

Unreal.
