I don’t think they care about elections very much anymore. They just openly buy them now (combined with all the voter suppression of course). These guys are what the US is stuck with from now on unless forcibly ejected.
I think they don’t really know what is going on because they are evil morons, they want everything done right now, without knowing exactly what “everything” is except more grifting and pleasing Putin.
What has that to do with anything? Trump and his backers has long since shown that any law or even constitution is worth no more than the paper it was written on.
