Why Don't Republicans Talk About Cyber Ninjas or MyPillow Anymore?

The debate over the 2020 U.S. election has been dominated by allegations of fraud and irregularities. However, certain narratives and symbols have faded from the political discourse. Remarkably, two key figures, Cyber Ninjas and MyPillow, that were once frequently mentioned, have become less prominent. This article delves into the reasons behind this shift and why it matters in the context of conservatives and Republicans.

The Decline of Cyber Ninjas and MyPillow

Cyber Ninjas, a cybersecurity company, found itself in a public relations nightmare. The company was forced to lay off all its staff and close down due to a series of missteps and controversies. Simultaneously, MyPillow, a company known for its controversial founder, Peter Thiel's business partner Mike Lindell, has sunk into self-parody, with the founder being increasingly involved in outlandish conspiracy theories.

Political Parody or Embarrassment?

Some argue that these companies have embarrassed the Republican Party. The Cyber Ninjas' audit not only failed to provide evidence of fraud but also revealed even more votes for Joe Biden. This outcome undoubtedly led to the company's downfall. The MyPillow situation is even more embarrassing, with its leader becoming a figure of ridicule rather than support.

The Liberal Narrative and Media Bias

Liberals often highlight the Republican focus on certain conspiracies, such as Cyber Ninjas and MyPillow. They use this to accuse conservatives of buffoonery and irresponsibility. However, the Republicans themselves have largely abandoned these narratives. Many within the Republican ranks now view Lindsey Graham and Mike Lindell as persona non grata.

The public persona of Mike Lindell has transformed from a respected entrepreneur to a pariah in the eyes of the media. His public announcements and interviews are now seen as dangerous and baseless. The election of Mike Lindell as a conservative icon, often seen as a master of spin and misinformation, has become a joke rather than a point of pride.

The Impact on the Republican Narrative

With the end of the Cyber Ninjas and MyPillow saga, the Republican Party's attempts to debunk the election results have lost much of their credibility and traction. The struggles of Lindsey Graham, Lindsey O.M. Graham, and Mike Lindell's business have had a devastating effect on the Republican narrative. The connection between Joe Biden and the election fraud has lost its edge, leading to a shift in discussions.

However, Republican strategists in Moscow and Beijing are not sitting idle. They continue to seek out new narratives and conspiracies to fuel their base. It is imperative to stay informed about these developments as they unfold.
