Are the Republicans the Party of Stupid?
Do they really want people like Herschel Walker running things?
How about Doug Mastriano, the guy who thinks women who get abortions should be charged with murder? Or Ron Johnson, a guy who can’t keep track of what he stands for from day to day? And how about the sixteen Florida GOP federal politicians who voted against FEMA funding just two weeks before their state was hammered by Hurricane Ian? And are now begging for that money?
Walker paid a woman to abort a pregnancy and she has receipts to prove it. After taking the hardest possible stand against women’s rights to make their own decisions regarding reproductive rights.
And the entire Republican establishment is backing him up.
We know that whatever collective intelligence the party once had was destroyed by their leader, future jailmate Donald Trump, a man who cannot abide competence. Now, the party line is ‘elect anyone we can, even if we won’t be able to control them’.
There is a saying that keeps coming to mind these days: garbage in, garbage out. If you elect stupid, willfully ignorant people with no respect for the laws of the land they are vying to represent, logic says that very stupid, bad things will happen.
