Dunno, but to the lay person this may appear to be a case of violating state law in the commission of another crime in an effort to influence an election. 🤷

Not how this works these days, Alum!
Kid: 'Hey Mom. I got a new job.'
Mom: 'Great. When do you start ?'
Kid: 'Tomorrow. But I'm not going to show up'.
Mom: 'Why not ?'
Kid: 'There are people at my new job who don't like that 1 of the other kids who is supposed to start tomorrow wasn't able to meet the job requirements.'
Mom: 'That's the other kid's problem. Get your ass out of bed and get to work or you won't have a job and you won't have an allowance.'
Kid: 'But Mom, 😭😭😭😭😭😭.'

Good thing they weren't in New York, where the apparent sentence is unconditional discharge.

The nonprofit violated a GA law by concealing political activity and failing to register with the as a political committee.

How this applies to a NY law elevating falsifying business records from a misdemeanor to felony when done in the commission of another crime escapes me. Do New York laws suddenly apply to GA?

Wasn’t able to access the article.  Of course, we cannot forget about leftists winning all over South and Central America.  The failed coup in South Korea.  There are other examples.

Nothing in this world is permanent, especially in the realm of politics.  A lot of this discontent appears to be more about anti-incumbent sentiment and not a true voter partisan realignment.  For progressives to start winning in sustainable ways, we need to reconcern ourselves with the problems working class people say they care about.

Exploitation of Nationalism / Xenophobia has something to do with it, e g. America First, scapegoating immigrants ...

Voting against massive immigrant influxes and the associated issues isn’t xenophobia, scapegoating, or nationalism.

The Catholic Church said something similar to Copernicus around 1616.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.
