The headline says it all: Fake Democrats Lose in Wis. Primary Recalls
Ouch. Talk about your political fails. I mean, yeah, sure, even Wisconsin Republicans knew that their fake Democrats wouldn't win and were just doing it to help themselves politically. But, man, what a fail.
Because the thing is, anyone over the age of twelve should be too mature for this kind of garbage and it cost taxpayer money to hold these sham primaries. Yet the Republican Party in Wisconsin actively told people to vote for these fake Republicans, which only makes them look like immature con-artists. Besides the headline, the article used the phrase "Fake Democrat" seven times! And the story made the Yahoo homepage. As much as people pay attention to political stories at all, it'll be known how Republicans ran fake Democrats in a perversion of our electoral system.
So yeah, they scored a few cheap points, and even had to spend some of their own dough to support these fake Democrats. And in the process, they announced to the country that Republicans are jerk-faced tricksters who enjoy taking a crap on the head of democracy. And rather than undermine the Democrats, all they did is give them more momentum and make any sensible Republicans turn their heads in disgust.
But that's all we've seen from Republicans ever since they allowed the far-far-right take over the party. They continue their death spiral downwards, taking bigger and bolder stands that they imagine shows themselves to be gaining power; when it's really just more evidence of how delusional and impotent they really are.

And Mitch McConnell says "Now is the moment. No more games. No more gimmicks. The Constitution must be amended to keep the government in check. We’ve tried persuasion. We’ve tried negotiations. We’re tried elections. Nothing has worked."
I suppose it's time for a Republican dictatorship.
Godot, dictatorship is the go to answer for all simple-minded people who don't understand politics or the true nature of power. And that's why so many of these wannabe dictators would never be able to hold power as a dictator.
While making decisions certainly is a lot easier when you're a dictator, you can't attain such power alone and being able to know who to trust and maintain that trust is not easy at all. It's hard enough in a democracy for the leaders to get enough support to wield power. It's even harder when you're a dictator. There's a reason why some of those guys can hold power for decades, while others couldn't even last a week.
