While driving around on my errands this weekend, I heard on NPR that a bunch of MAGA cheesedicks want to recall the current governor, a Democrat (surprise, surprise). Why? The actions he has been taking to save lives from CV-19, is like, you know, socialism and not freedom. Good gravy! It’s hard to believe this is the state that gave America Fightin’ Bob LaFollette or William Proxmire…oh wait, they also did give us Tailgunner Joe McCarthy (Roy Cohn’s bottom) and Scott the Dropout Walker. The only saving grace to what will probably fail, the Moronavirus Party needs 600,000 signatures in 60 days and the GOP is staying away. The latter claim they’re more focused on getting Orange Foolius another unpopular term through this tiny state.
Now many of your Right Wingers and Spineless Centrists are knee-jerking to the Whataboutism of, “But the Democrats held a recall against Walker about 10 years ago!” Yes, yes, they did. However, Walker was moving forward with truly unpopular decisions and a raw power grab at the behest of his corporate masters, the Koch Brothers. America already has entrenched pocket of stubborn poverty and anti-progressive thinking, it’s call the Deep South. The fight to remove Walker was to prevent Wisconsin from transforming into the Mississippi of the North. What this MAGA shitheads want to do with Evers has no merit. When it comes to a pandemic, he’s doing what he can to prevent more deaths since bars (one of the only things to do in my former home) are a huge vector to spread CV-19. Saving the Economy won’t mean a thing if there are fewer people to participate in it.
This is also my rebuttal to all you Libertarian assholes and Kapitalist ass-kissers who go on and on about “freedom.”
Liberty means more than freedom from the arbitrary power of governments. It means freedom from economic servitude to want and squalor and other social evils; it means freedom from arbitrary power in any form. A starving man is not free.
