When you're WisGOP, and all you have is Big Lies, you keep getting dumber

When you're a typical WisGOP politician, and you've invested in Big Lies and non-thinking opposition to stuff because "the lib'ruls" are in favor, you tend to make a fool of yourself. 2 examples from yesterday.

The first is from State Sen. Chris Kapenga, aka the Delafield Dumbass.

As health care systems throughout WI start mandating COVID-19 vaccines for employees, Senate President @SenatorKapenga urges workers who oppose it to "lead the way."

In addition to supporting the ability of anti-vax medical workers putting both patients and co-workers at risk, Kapenga is also seeming to call for those workers take some kind of collective action, in order to make their employers suffer for not listening to their grievances.

This is better known as a STRIKE! Quite the change of position for Sen. Kapenga, who voted for Act 10, right-to-work, and every other anti-worker provision put in during the Age of Fitzwalkerstan. But welcome to the party, pal!

The other idiociy is from another Waukesha County GOP, Rep. Janel Brantjen of Menomonee Falls. Because Robbin' Vos put this dingbat in charge of the Assembly's Elections Committee, and because she apparently lives in a Bubble World where AM1130 and Bradley Foundation GOPperganda are the only news sources allowed, she's still intent on wasting taxpayer dollars to keep the Big Lie alive.

"I am issuing these subpoenas as the first step towards a full, cyber-forensic audit of tabulators and inspection of the physical ballots from the November 2020 fall election."

And take a guess where MLM exec Brandtjen came up with that idea.

One image is from the fake subpoena issued by the national embarrassment WI GOP Assembly, the other image is from the AZ Cyber Ninja audit subpoena.

Hey, ALEC bills are cut-and-pasted all the time, why not do the same for another waste of tax dollars!

Interesting that she chooses Milwaukee and Brown Counties, which had some of the LOWEST increases in turnout and shifts toward Dems compared to 2016 (likely because Brandtjen thinks "MARKZUCKERBERGSMONEYMUSTHAVERIGGEDIT, AHHHHHHHHH!!!"). If Brandtjen was remotely serious, you'd think she care more about the fact that her home of Waukesha County (along with Ozaukee County) had a decisive shift toward Dems last November, and would want to verify that.

Southwest counties that jumped to Trump in 2016 gave him still larger margin this time

North was entirely shifting reder from 12-16 now is a bit more mixed in change from 16-20.

(Old 2012-16 change map-- different scales. Sorry.)

WOW bluer 12-16 and again 16-20.

But that would require use of data over fee-fees, and going beyond fee-fees and adjusting to reality is just too much effort for WisGOPs these days. So they continue to say and do dumber and more desperate BS, and those of us who aren't weak-minded whiners just shake our heads and wait for enough people in the rest of the state to say "ENOUGH!"

I just wish there was some way for "ENOUGH" to hit before November 2022.
