“We’re so divided,” a member of the state’s Republican party said from the hospital, according to The Detroit News. “I just wish we could come together”
Not a huge fan of the GOP ramping up political violence, even against their own members.
Pretty dangerous.
We’re far beyond the point of no return on that. They’re going to be violent no matter what, so we should celebrate when they target each other instead of, well…literally anyone else.
We are certainly further than I like. My fears are more around what starts happing at the poll booth. Or during vote counting. I worry about what starts happening to election workers.
Yeah, it’s pretty terrifying. Luckily, we can all still vote by mail here in Wisconsin, so we don’t have to physically go to the polls, but the republicans have managed to put some heavy barriers in the way of it in the last couple years, even though their attempts to ban it outright have failed.
My city used to have a mobile ballot dropoff truck, but they sued and got it banned, and they’ve also banned dropping off ballpts for other people. If you’re disabled and/or don’t have reliable access to transportation, and understandably don’t want to trust the republican-crippled USPS with your ballot, voting has become much more difficult, if not entirely impossible.
Spicy:
Mark DeYoung, who chairs the Clare County Republican Party, said he heard Chapman’s attempt to enter the room and opened the door after seeing someone flip him the bird through a window. “He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” DeYoung said of Chapman, speaking to The Detroit News by phone from the emergency room.
… and…
Chapman also said that during the confrontation, he removed his glasses. “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock,” Chapman said.
“ So Chapman said that he and others gathered outside the meeting location and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.”
Jesus fuckin Christ. These people are damaged. What a deranged thing to do.
GOP’s really making keeping Michigan blue easy these days.
Hats off to em.
“We’re so divided,” a member of the state’s Republican party said from the hospital, according to The Detroit News. “I just wish we could come together”
Who coulda thunk a bunch of egoistical policies would lead to a divided party?
But uniting Republican is simple, you just need to bring a black person, gay person or a… woke (?) person into the room.
“I dunno about you, Bob, but I think I’m going to vote for the Kicking Other People in the Balls party this election”.
Sounds pretty on-brand for the GOP.
These children are in charge of important things.
When you let really crazy into the crazy party, this is what you get.
GOP just gunning for a full-on Idiocracy future…
Few things please me more than seeing conservatives damaging each other.
