The fact he is in the running for a Senate seat shows how fucking far gone the GQP is. That is LITERALLY FUCKING BONKERS. These people are completely terrible. It could not be any clearer.

The Russification of all we hold dear. A classic case of humanity going ape in the modern age. All of humanity, from the looks of it.
Those you think are spared today are merely behind the curve and may catch up some day as communication overstimulates and rots our brains on propaganda.
The internet is to humanity like raw packets of sugar is to diabetes. We had no idea, and many still don't. Perhaps they never will.

The news is running a lot of interviews with hardcore Republican partisans not breaking from Walker as some sort of evidence that this isn't damaging him with the base. Well no shit the base ain't going nowhere and they would vote for Satan himself if he was on the R ticket saying "well everybody makes mistakes". It's the smattering of people they find who say they won't vote for senate or will vote for the Libertarian instead. Those are the kind of votes he's shedding.

It's pretty amazing how they can just say out loud that their base is full of shitty hypocrites that want to force their beliefs on others but just not on themselves.

This is how societies fall.

I think their position broadly makes sense. Walker pledges to ban abortion and Warnock does not, so from an anti-abortion position voting for Walker still makes sense even if he personally is an abortion machine.

That being said I don’t want to ever hear again about how personal morality matters to them. It doesn’t. This isn’t a one time mistake, this is a dude who has publicly stated he is a maniac.

Their lack of personal morality and adherence to total hypocrisy and ignorance has been revealed for quite some years now. It's just getting even more brazen that's all.

Interesting piece in the NY Times today. This link should work for 14 days, i.e. until Oct. 20, 2022:

Yeah he was praising DeSantis in an article I read and mentioned. I figured he was a POS but he I mean this is way worse than I thought. Who figured, he is a chip off the old block, asshole POS father and POS son

At least he isn't pretending his dad's great. Trump's kids never do that, just his niece Mary.

Democrats need to nationalize these revelations to women across the country.

Emphasize Republicans want to control women’s bodies but run out the back door and get their abortions while claiming in public to be pro life. Tag this to EVERY Republican since the party is doubling down on this guy

What makes Walkers candidacy so onerous he is Republicans idea of a qualified black man for the Senate. They are saying to themselves “ Walker is proof we aren’t racist”

To quote the great scholar Walker, “think about it”
