If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.

Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

With conservatives—or rather, the people lacking morality and empathy who flock to the ideology—it's always projection. They can't imagine having the integrity to not do what they would do when given the opportunity so they cry foul.

In their zero-sum way of thinking, it sets them up to be ahead of the scandal. They use it as "proof" to justify their DARVO statements and whataboutisms. Morality be damned, as long as the other side takes a bigger hit, they still feel like they win.
