It's election day, finally. One of these days I hope to have one of these days without a complete dread of what stupid things white people will do. I hear of church burnings in Mississippi overnight. tiny dicked white men in vests and masks and guns hanging around polling place, slow witted trumpers, fleeced for every cent they have buying flags and signs and shit, standing around making animal noises, politicians calling for lawsuits in case they lose, and Jan 6ers not in jail waiting for orders to do it all over again but this time with weapons and a shoot to kill order from Mar a Lago Mussolini.
I guess that the bright side is these fucking ads will cease. Locally all I can say is no more Don Bacon (Nobody-Ne) ads showing his opponent, a decent guy named Tony Vargas who is neck and neck with Bacon, in a tye dyed t shirt (hippie!) a megaphone (agitator!) , darkened skin (Messican!), and in the Nebraska lege (raising your taxes!), and with yet another megaphone (urging Antifa to kill cops!). Vargas, the son of Peruvian immigrants has to constantly answer the ads with his mom, his kids, and a smile to assure Bacons fans that he's not Che Guevera (not that Bacon fans know who that is). He may win, Bacon is a 50/50 guy at best, despite the massive spending to demonize Vargas.
In the Governors race, a theocratic fascist named Jim Pillen, has few ads, hes so assured he will win because of that R next to his name. He never debated, even his primary opponents, and nobody knows what he wants other than "lower property taxes" though his "education plan" would skyrocket property taxes. Look, Nebraska, The Republicans have run this fucking place for 30 years, and property taxes and taxes in general have NOT gone down a bit but you KEEP voting for these fuckers. Why?? Pillen is a dope, the rumor is he wont debate because he has no grasp of any issues at all, and his ads feature his 7 grandkids, every one of which is probably smarter than him, asking Grandpa why he's running for Governor. Yeah exactly, Jim, and that's why your grandkids are smarter than you. They know you're not up to the job.
Pillen's opponent is a competent state senator named Carol Blood. A woman of substance, who actually debated not only in the primary but sat there with Pillen's Republican opponents and traded blows with them though Pillen was probably at some VFW hall someplace in rural Nebraska boring the shit out of hand picked rural Republicans. I have not seen one Carol Blood ad by the way. Thanks Citizen United.
Mike Flood is a stereotypical Republican nerd. Chubby face with glasses, nice high and tight haircut, button down blue shirt with t shirt underneath and proud of his fascist leanings. Flood's ads tear his opponent apart by calling her, Patty Pansing Brooks, Patty Pelosi. He demonizes her as somebody who favors abortion even if the baby is in the maternity ward minding its own business, loves raising taxes and inflation just like ta daaaaaaa Nancy Pelosi and has three names like some radical feminist who needs to be put into line. And he whines thats she's "lying" about his whacko views. Brooks is another perfectly competent state senator who helped kill Nebraska's trigger abortion law. So of course she's evillllll (cue the lightning noise and turning her into a demon).
Then there's Kim Reynolds (white nationalist-Ia) who is 17 points up on her opponent, another perfectly competent Iowa state legislator named Deidre DeJear (shhhh she's black) . But Reynolds cant not let THIS one go. She has run against Cori Bush (D-Mo) showing Bush calling for defunding the police and implying that because she's a black woman thats Deidre DeJear. Reynolds lies about her record, smiles broadly in that oh so creepy Karen way, and talks about how Iowans have not lost their minds. But thats not good enough, Reynolds went all white nationalist in her last ad (see previous post) showing happy white folks at parades waving flags and being all white. Ugh!
Well all those ads will all come to an end after today and local TV can count all their money and roll around in it while both sidesing the news. Thank the stars!
The ads have actually done its job, though.
It has shown today is a choice.
Its either democracy or its fascism. Period
Vote Blue!
