Hey Pennsylvania, You Really Suck
Townhall.com ^ | 21 September A.D. 2023 | Derek Hunter

Honest to God, Pennsylvania sucks. There are some good areas and some good people up there, but for the most part the entire state is just this side of a clogged toilet politically. Not the system, the people they elect. Smart and good people don’t tend to elect morons; elected officials usually reflect the majority of their constituents. Given what the Keystone State has sent to Washington and their own capitol, the state sucks. Advertisement

This isn’t just about Senator John Frankenstein’s Monster Fetterman, though he is a big part of it. It’s also about their Governor, Josh Shapiro, and ultimately about the voters there.

In a big middle finger to integrity, Shapiro is making voter registration in the state automatic. Why? To hear these little Maos tell it, they want to make it “easy” to vote. But how hard is it?

If you can’t figure out how to register and vote under current laws everywhere, you’re probably in a coma. Either that or you’ve suffered a series of severe head injuries and have to prioritize your recovery over your franchise. Or, and this is the most likely option, you just have no interest in voting. Given the people we have to choose between most times, a lot of people decide not to pick between two competing plates full of feces.

But automatic registration makes it “easier.” I have to ask, again, how easy do we have to make it to vote?

I want it to be harder. Before you freak out, I don’t mean a poll tax or any of the other obstacles racist Democrats created to prevent black people from voting in the south during their Jim Crow days. I mean, put in a little effort by doing something, anything. Check a box, show your ID, actually put pen to paper and lick an envelope. Demonstrate you want to vote and are able to. All automatic registration does is increase the size of the potential voter fraud.

I know progressives deny voter fraud happens, but that’s because they engage in it. And “expanding the voter rolls” is the easiest way to avoid getting caught.

Think of this this way – If someone hasn’t voted in the last two or three elections, the odds of them showing up in the next one are pretty slim. Corrupt politicos can confidently vote under their name any number of ways, without much concern of anyone noticing. The actual voter likely won’t show up to “discover” they’d already voted, though that happens sometimes, and no organization is going to go through the rolls and check with each person who voted whether or not they actually did. The latter option is too expensive and only left-wing groups have that kind of money. That would be like the Mafia calling the FBI on itself.

What Shapiro is doing is setting the table for a feast of potential fraud in the future; the voter registration equivalent of mamma bird spitting the pre-chewed worm into the mouth of its baby, only the baby is quite capable of feeding itself. This isn’t by accident or out of concern that people might not be able to vote, it’s in case they vote in a way the Democrat Machine in Philadelphia doesn’t approve of.

I repeat myself: You suck, Pennsylvania.

Now we get to Senator Uncle Fester.

He clearly isn’t recovering from the stroke his campaign lied to voters about. He can’t talk, can’t understand, and no one around him cares because who shows concern for a puppet? As long as he’s in the seat he’s the party’s gimp. That’s all they really care about. You’d think his wife might have some real concern, but apparently you’d be wrong.

Given he spent six weeks taking up a hospital bed reserved for our military heroes for “depression,” when the normal stay for depression is only 2 weeks, I assume he was really in there trying to do intense rehab for the stroke to try to make up for the damage he did by not dropping out of the race and working to undo damage when it was possible. It clearly didn’t work.

Now, this zombie has gotten the dress code for the US Senate changed to accommodate his seeming inability to tie a tie or buckle a belt. It’s the perfect example of how the left functions – rather than press for high standards for everyone, they lower the standards to give the appearance of “progress.” Don’t demand better from students and (especially) teachers in cities Democrats rule, eliminate high achieving classes and schools so everyone gets screwed over equally! Ain’t equity grand? Advertisement

Fetterman reportedly just doesn’t feel comfortable dressing like someone hasn’t leeched off their family well into their 40s. Tough. If having a zipper on your pants raises the odds of your wetting your pants, quit your job and focus on fixing your motor skills. To the leftists who think that’s mean or making fun of the disabled, I don’t give a damn. It was you people who insisted he was perfectly fine. If I’m making fun of the disabled, you lied. If he’s fine, he’s a special kind of dumb and lazy you should be ashamed of yourselves to be associated with.

But the real problem is the voters in Pennsylvania. You elected these people. It wasn’t even close, in either case. I get that Dr. Oz was a horrible candidate, but he could talk; he could do the actual job. At some point doesn’t there have to be some kind of standard in what you’d accept from a politician?

Not in Pennsylvania, apparently. They’ve joined California and New York in choosing people with IQs lower than their shoe size to represent them. When literally no one in the Senate will work with Fetterman because how can you work with someone you can’t communicate with, who’s also incredibly stupid, don’t worry, he’ll be reelected easily thanks to your Governor.

Now that Democrats have destroyed the steel industry and are in the process of killing the coal industry, we really don’t need anything else from the state. Can we just cede Pennsylvania to Canada? Other places in the country can make Chocolate and garbage beer while producing violent obnoxious sports fans.

Pennsy’s Senate REPUBLICANS approved mail-in voting changes, including the mail-in ballot-boxes that got stuffed to cheat Trump.

The problem is not with the politicians. The problem is the source of those politicians: The voters.

In a democracy you not only get the government you want. You get the government you deserve. Dissenters have no choice but to leave - which is why, 12 years ago, I left my home of 46 years, Seattle, for rural Kentucky. And I LOVE IT here.

In Kentucky we have a similar problem with Louisville. But the good news is the commercial real estate is drying up and the city is, I believe, shrinking.

There are lots of other states we could say similar things about.

PA is just following your lead.

In April 2018, Maryland became the eleventh state to approve automatic voter registration. Gov. Larry Hogan declined to either sign or veto an AVR bill

Called Shapiro on his election bullshit three years ago. As AG, he was not in the least interested in investigating the “balloting” in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas.

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. I left for the Army in 1971 and never want back except to attend the occasional wedding or funeral.

The two problem areas of Pennsylvania are Philadelphia County and Allegheny County (Pittsburgh). Erase those two counties, and you have Alabama or Kentucky.
