GOP Candidate Seeks Votes of Fellow Pessimists [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 22 Sep 2019 | John Semmens

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill) says he wants to give voters who, like himself, have given up on America a choice in the 2020 election. “The Republican Party has become unrecognizable to me since Donald Trump has become president,” Walsh complained. “He has turned the venerable party of convivial losers into bare-knuckle brawlers vying for control of the government against our estimable friends on the other side.”

Walsh says he is “particularly disturbed by the interruption of the transformation set in motion by former President Obama. Trump has unleashed an uncomfortable acceleration in economic growth that threatens to scramble social classes. Minorities that have been successfully controlled by economy-stagnating federal policies and sedating welfare benefits are being lured into degrading wage-slavery and the uppity attitudes that inevitably follow from self-sufficiency. I’m running to offer Republican voters a chance to veto this dangerous u-turn from the comfortable trajectory we were on a scant three years ago.”

Hilarious piece of satire. Very well done!

What makes it especially poignant is that it echoes what a lot of GOP’ers really think.

““The Republican Party has become unrecognizable to me since Donald Trump has become president,” Walsh complained. “He has turned the venerable party of convivial losers into bare-knuckle brawlers vying for control of the government against our estimable friends on the other side”

Say WHAT? “convivial”, now there’s a word you don’t hear everyday.

“EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY, EVERY MEAL A BANQUET” (Aliens)

“venerable”, now there’s a word you don’t hear everyday (except in Congress).

So according to this IDIOT, the Republican Party before Trump was a party of losers, “accorded a great deal of respect”, who were “fond of feasting, drinking, and good company”, that were “friends” with our enemies in the other party, who were worthy of our great respect.

NOW, The Party of Trump is FIGHTING BACK against our enemies in the other party trying to “wrest” (forcibly pull (something) from a person’s grasp.) control of our government from them AND the “deep state Republicans” that Joe Walsh (NOT the “Rocky Mountain Way” guy) apparently loves so much.
