Vote GOP -- Squishes You Can Count On, Sort Of...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Tuesday warned that his state could see a wave of Democratic victories in the 2018 midterm elections, and pressed supporters to "counter" the "Far Left." [More]
So stay on the bus that gets us there slower?

The problem is, Scott, we see stuff like this and the implications aren't lost on us:
Two years ago, Walker said that it "makes sense" to grant citizenship to some of the millions of undocumented workers already in the country. By earlier this year, his position had changed, with Walker saying in March: "I don't believe in amnesty" for those in the country illegally. Later that same month, Walker told New Hampshire business leaders at a private dinner that he did, in fact, support providing some illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship, according to those familiar with the discussion. News accounts of the event sparked an outcry from the right, along with immediate denials from his staff.
And then we see stuff like this:
Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican with an A rating from the National Rifle Association for his long history of supporting pro-gun measures, is shifting his approach following the recent mass shooting at a Florida high school and as he seeks re-election in November.
Got anything to kindle fire in bellies, like we saw in 2016, or have establishment Republicans done their best to squelch it? I know "The Swamp" will blame apathy losses as a rejection of "Trumpism," but some see the difference between the man and the platform that elevated him -- and have no use for those who undermine it.

Pull that prag "perfect is the enemy of the good" crap on people who haven't seen it a thousand times and won't be fooled again.  What, that means a Democrat will win and really turn up the heat?  That'll get us to the brink, won't it?

See, some figure, thanks to unprincipled Republiquislings, that they're not going to vote their way out, which makes it really dangerous for all concerned. They figure if push comes to shove, they still have the right to keep and bear arms -- whether it's recognized or not. What oppressors and "compromisers" don't seem to grok is that "tolerating" this right not only protects us, but them as well.

Right now they're only seeing defiance.  Resistance takes on a whole new dimension.
