I think there is far more cynical opportunism leading the GOP establishment to fall in line behind Dear Leader but cowardice explains it too. Here’s some evidence that they may actually have some reason to be afraid:
PA GOP Senate candidate Everett Stern announces he was approached earlier this year by representatives of Michael Flynn’s ‘Patriot Caucus’ to “gather intelligence” on Senators, Judges and Congressman in order to extort them to support audits. He says he gave the evidence to Feds.
Stern said that Michael Flynn was running the operation in multiple states, and it was being financed by Texas billionaire Al Hartman. He said he was initially given two main targets – Sen Pat Toomey and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.
Here is a Dec 7, 2020 interview with the Flynn associate Ivan Raiklin, who Stern says was the one who contacted him about this scheme: “Remember, I said there are 4 paths to victory. I won’t go into the 5th one. That one would be after J6. I don’t want to talk about that one.”

Creepy.
Is any of this for real? I don’t know. But if they have Texas billionaires bankrolling them, this kind of operation could be potent. Some of these politicians might just decide that life is too short.
