That's not how this works...

Hey, I probably don't need to say this out loud, but I'm going to say this out loud: the GOP has moved from shady gerrymandering to outright autocracy, so maybe don't vote for them?

"But the Fox News said that Joe Biden hates America and wants to
replace white people and that's why he and the Democrats make gas
so expensive. And why would they lie about something like that?"

-Seriously far too many people

He's actually in construction, but he just
said he'd end democracy so, shit merchant.

I say this because Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate and noted Republican shit merchant Tim Micheals announced--huh? What? Wait until you see what he said, and then try and disagree. Anyway, at a rally on Tuesday he promised that:

"Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I'm elected governor..."

-Tim Micheals, declaring 

actual one-party rule

his unlimited power whilst using Dark Force

Which, this is the opposite of how democracy works. Like, it's no longer an election if the GOP is planning on changing the rules--something they've already done in Wisconsin--to ensure that they'll be in power forever. It's a, what do you call it? Sham? It's a sham. Secondly, look, I don't live in Wisconsin, and neither do you. I think. I'm fairly certain I know the three or four people who read this blog (hi!), and none of you live in Wisconsin. But it's all of our problem too. The state has ten electoral college votes that could just go to Republicans regardless of how the people vote.

Pictured: the guy who lost the popular
vote twice and yet we're still talking about him.

Should he win, Micheals, has already been waffling on whether or not he'll accept the results if he looses. Which is nonsense. If you lose an election, concession isn't optional. It's just how it is. But this guy's a "Trump won the 2020 election" guy, so he's evidently not clear on how any of this works. But that doesn't mean he's not super dangerous either way. People like him just bludgeoned an eighty-two year-old man in a failed assassination tempt on Nancy Pelosi. They don't need to win to be a problem.

I mean, the one they voted for didn't win. What
recourse did they have but to end two and a half
centuries of peaceful transitions of power?

And he might win, and then what? In addition to tossing Wisconsin's current elections commission, he's also indicating that he's open to re-evaluating the 2020 elections results--and no, of course that's not a thing, but then getting an angry mob of white people who feel under-appreciated to storm the Capitol building is also not a thing, so who knows? And what's the plan here? Michaels is just going to assume the people of Wisconsin are cool with all of this and will just let them get away with it?

I know Wisconsin isn't known as a bastion of progressivism, but my understanding here (from this) is that Democrats actually have a numerical advantage in terms of voters but the GOP has gerrymandered the shit out of the state so that Republicans hold on to power. Sooner or later that's going to bite them in the ass right? Right?

"I mean if you can't trust maps drawn by the GOP's lawyers, who can you trust?"

-Wisconsin Republicans, 

assuming we're all idiots
