GOP Saps Need to Quit Being Idiots
Townhall.com ^ | July 6, 2020 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 07/06/2020 4:06:43 AM PDT by Kaslin

I want to know the name of one single voter who cried out, “Take that, Columbus Day! And now that Fort Benning is known as Fort Diversity Rainbow Unicorn, I shall cast my ballot proudly for the generic GOP stooge who helped make that happen because when my country is burning and I am under attack, I want to be represented by people whose first inclination is to suck up to the Democrats!”

What’s this guy’s name, GOP geniuses? Who is this mystery voter you are courting at the expense of people otherwise inclined to support you? I’d like to meet him, and to sell him a bridge.

Here’s the thing you do when you want to win an election, and I can’t believe I have to tell the GOP’s pols this but apparently I do. You do things the people who might possibly vote for you want done. You don’t sit around in a circle of jerks trying to please the people who hate your guts.

This is not hard. Why are you channeling Mitt Romney, except with worse hair? Are you like civilian hardcase Butch Ben Sasse, fulminating obediently about somebody else going and fighting Russians after he eagerly accepted the latest media/Democrat Trump/Russia lie (That’s Lie #4 in my new book, which comes out tomorrow!). We already have a group of dishonest suckers undermining the country. They are called “Democrats” and we don’t need two parties of them.

Get woke! 

People keep telling you GOP-types to shape up. Tucker Carlson’s ratings are reaching low earth orbit thanks to his merciless pillorying of you empty suits. Maybe you should listen to the voters instead of the overpaid doofuses you are paying a ton of money to in order to lose your elections for you. It’s not hard to not fail. It’s not hard to help your voters instead of your opponents. The Democrats manage to do it, and they’re a pack of brother-marrying, pinko weirdos who think men get periods and that the Russians are to blame for everything, including their myriad sexual inadequacies.

GOP dummies, what the hell is your excuse? I want to know the thought process by which you slack-jawed nimrods who make up a startling proportion of the Republican Party’s political cadre got the idea that we sent you to Washington to rename Army bases and switch-up holidays. You sure as hell didn’t ask me. If you had, I would have replied, “That’s funny. I am amused.” Then, when I saw you were puzzled, I would have said, “Wait, that wasn’t a joke?” And then I would have berated you with vicious indictments of your character and intellect reaching back several generations.

You want to be “reasonable” – stop that! Get woke! This is not about reason but about power, and you simps are staggering into the world’s most obvious ambush. Yes, perhaps there is a good argument to be made for recognizing Juneteenth. And no, had this Son of the Union (Nana, a native of rebel-torched Chambersburg, had a portrait of Lincoln on her wall, which I guess makes her literally Hitler in the eyes of the dilbots the GOP is obsessed with pleasing) been consulted several generations ago when they were picking names for Army bases, I would have argued against choosing mostly obscure Confederates. But even if changing base names did not implicitly and falsely indict my three Fort Benning diplomas (Officer Candidate School, Airborne, and Infantry Advanced Course) as badges of oppression instead of symbols of freedom – as well as those of millions of other veterans – I would still be against changing any base names or holidays now because you never, ever negotiate with a gun to your head.

I’m a lawyer and I negotiate for a living, so maybe I can provide some perspective. The Republicans’ “negotiations” consist of giving concessions to people who hate them that will get them nothing in return but the contempt of GOP voters. I’m baffled why I have to explain this, but that’s a bad deal. If I did that kind of deal for clients, I’d be driving a 1991 Ford Fiesta hoopty with a missing rear bumper instead of my sweet, sweet premium touring sedan. 

Stop doing stupid things, Republicans! 

We want you to protect us from the coordinated attack upon us, not tongue-bathe the attackers. Do you need some suggestions on how that involves protecting us instead of kissing liberal Lieu? 

  • Strip all federal money from colleges that fail to actively protect free speech.
  • Tax college endowments. Let’s lance the boil that is academia!
  • Target Big Tech targeting of, and discrimination against, free speech. Strip Section 230 protection from any tech company that bans speech otherwise protected by the First Amendment, and pass an “Internet Bill of Rights” that allows consumers to sue tech companies for oppressing them (Want some help drafting it? Have your people call my people).
  • Ban corporate discrimination on the basis of politics so that our ability to function in society is not at the mercy of big corporations that have adopted the ideology of a mid-wit Goucher College collectivist phrenology major.
  • Remove all federal aid from cities that refuse to protect the rights of citizens by allowing Democrat catspaw radicals to run rampant and go unpunished.
  • Make attacks on cops for being cops a federal hate crime.
  • Make it a federal crime to block a federal interstate and to threaten or restrain drivers. Clarify that blocking a vehicle is a threat to the life and safety of the passengers and ensure that accelerating to escape this kind of attack is presumptively legitimate self-defense. And give those inconvenienced the right to sue for damages for being delayed.
  • Pass a “National Self-Defense Against Political Violence Act” to protect our ability to use force to defend ourselves against rioters, thugs, and other Democrats. Soros-bought local DAs released criminals but threaten patriots should we exercise our civil right not to be brutalized. Take that travesty off the table.

There are plenty more ideas out there. Can you GOP Einsteins spot some common elements among my suggestions? 

None of them will make the left happy.

All of them will make us, your patriotic GOP voters, very happy.

And all of them will help you win in November, instead of lose. In case you missed it, the point is not to lose. 

Not to lose.

GOP: Take our side in this fight, if you want to keep your miserable jobs. Because we are done with your Schiff.

the GOP, especially Romney and the RINOs,
caused this Civil War and its murders and destruction
BY DOING NOTHING year after year. NOTHING, ever.

Thus, the GOP is/has been as evil as the DNC.

I think the politicians are the overpaid doofuses. Actually, they do the bidding of their owners consistently, so somebody is getting a good ROI.

Degrees in Phrenology. That is a great line. Kurt really tore a hole in someone’s trousers. That would be those traitors to our elections, The Lincoln Project. I swear that bunch is either bought off or brainwashed.

There is only one party,the DC party.

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

Kurt, here's the problem...the GOP-e hates us as much as the Democrats do. They have to pretend to be "manly", speak with deep voices, midwestern drawls, southern accents, etc. to get elected.

As soon as they get to Washington, they ditch the fake accents, lisp like a cross between a Harvard graduate and trans-woman, and hope and pray that they can party with their "good friends from across the aisle" the next time a crop of Central American children or Asian ladyboys comes rolling into DC in the backs of cattle cars.

The problem is that GOP leaders are part of the Deep State New World Order. Their goal is no different than BLM or ANTIFA or Democrats.

It’s getting to be like the bad old days of the Republucan party of the 1950s through the 1970s: just like the Democrats just a little bit slower. Right now they are trying to figure out how to lean statues over at 45 degrees.

Not gonna happen. Bongino said if you never remember anything else remember that most Republicans are Democrat, but no Democrats are Republican. They’re all the same, basically.

The perks of living in the Deep State outweigh principles.

Many, if not most, of the items on the list are funding items - all of which fall under the House purview and Nancy will never permit any of them to reach committee - let alone a bill on the floor.

The problem with the GOP saps is that once they get to D.C. most of them quickly do something in which the DemonicRats are able to hold over their heads as blackmailable. As a matter of fact, the DemonicRats set the traps so that the weak GOP saps fall right into them. Oh, and most of them can be bribed too.

Yep, there has got to be a lot of blackmail going on. This cannot be explained by weakness.

“This cannot be explained by weakness.”

You have to understand what most politicians are at their core. They crave approval, the louder and more public the better. They’re mostly, with a few notable exceptions, empty vessels waiting to be filled with whatever pablum some focus group pours into them.

They’re human wind socks. They mostly understand only one thing and that’s pain.

So it’s up to us to start bringing pain, loudly and often.

I’ve blocked out two hours a week on my workday calendar to get in their faces. And I mean every single one of them from my local Village Board, School Board members, County Board members, State Rep and Senators, and Federal officials and anyone else I can think of including the Library Board.

You have to get in their faces and STAY in their faces. Talk to your like minded friends, neighbors, and family members. Make sure they know you’re watching every single move they make.

It’s work. Hard work if you’re really doing it. Show up at their events. If you really want to scare the crap out of them find out who your local Republican Committee members are including your Precinct Committeeman. Call them.

Write letters. Yes, real letters on paper in an envelope with a stamp. Get five of your friends to do the same. If they’re Dems demand to know where they stand on riotous mobs, arson, looting, and the destruction of statues. Make them put it in writing.

Don’t make it easy on these simps. Your silence is your consent. Don’t forget that.

L
