There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why this year’s election, especially the gubernatorial portion here in Michigan, shouldn’t be anything more than a formality this November.
However, if the Republican kakistocracy has its way, it looks like they will be pulling the same stupid trick they used in 2018 in order to get Gretchen Whitmer re-elected again in 2022!
My response to a MORON on Twatter that was whining and moaning and threatening to sit-out #MidTerms2022 in #Michigan cuz #ChiefCraig wasn’t announced as #TudorDixon‘s #LG Candidate (and would allow #WHITLER to Win re-election)….
Can’t say I disagree for the most part.
Hopefully we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot somehow.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear that the Michigan Republican Party wants four more years of Gretchen Whitmer.
It should stand to reason that running a candidate who is antithetical to the base is not exactly a winning strategy. Especially when they try, invariably in vain, to claim that candidate is somehow Conservative.
Typically, they will employ one of the following stratagems:
• Hallelujah, they have seen the light! You can trust them now to do the right things since they now have their eye on a higher office.
• Or, just sweep their record under the rug and use industrial-strength gaslighting on anyone who dares to bring it up.
How often have we seen this?
Well, we’ve seen this play out nationally with McCain in ’08. The Republican kakistocracy wanted him badly (it was HIS turn to run, after all). The base didn’t trust him. We ended up getting stuck with Barry for eight years because Willard certainly wasn’t any better four years later.
Here in Michigan, we’ve seen this in ’18 when B.S. got tapped to run for that coveted seat in the Romney Building (again, according to the Nigh-omnipotent potentates in the Michigan GOP, it was HIS turn). The same candidate who couldn’t be bothered to show himself in front of the Grassroots before the Primary, yet always found ample time in his busy schedule for a fundraiser with deep-pocketed donors…well, we all know how that nightmare started.
Fast-forward to this week, when Trump disloyalist Liz Cheney got her backside handed to her by Wyoming Voters by about a 2-1 ratio. Throwing your lot in with the democrats and then taking part in a political star chamber…not a great plan. If your Paul Pelosi-level of investments didn’t pay off as well as they have while you were “serving” your Constituents in Wyoming, people might have a reason to feel sorry for your future.
So, where is this observation heading towards True Believers are asking themselves?
The left knows that it’s ideas are generally rejected, in spite of pervasive media bombardment the up is down, bad is good, and certainly the inverse.
Instead of successfully lobbying the public with good ideas, or even providing proof that the principles of the Republican party are bad for the state, the oft inebriated Attorney General has unleashed the hammer of government on those who oppose her and her allies in Lansing. Instead of opposing specific policies, the use of the state’s policing mechanism has been weaponized like that of the FBI under lets go Brandon in its attack of all things Trump.
Never would I have imagined we would be in this place in my lifetime. And while I wait for the battering ram at my door, I think I will take up painting.
