The Problem With Kemp II



The Problem with Kemp II

The Saga Continues


If there is one universal sign of wrong-ness, if there is one thing above all others that shows what you're doing is stupid, I personally think it's Trump saying that even he disagrees with you. If Donald Trump himself, the man behind such great decisions like Trump Steaks or Atlantic City or immigration ban over twitter, says what you're doing is wrong, you can take that to the bank. So let me spell it out for Kemp here: Your wrong. As of right now, Georgia has over 21,000 cases, a fatality rate over 4% (which is double the average), and the entire country is on lock down two weeks from when Trump thought everything was going to be fine, and you still think it's ok to open? Not only that, but you picked the worst business TO reopen in the middle of a pandemic. Why is it that while the state parks I was getting my exercise in before they got shut down is still closed, but nail and massage parlors are considered fine and dandy to open up? Sure, you can tell me that people should still practice social distancing, but how the hell do I do that in a massage parlor?? That isn't a "measured step" like Kemp called it, it's the way we have a second wave. I would much rather stay inside for the next month then have to start the school year on my fucking laptop because he wanted a massage. But unfortunately, Kemp believes the quality of a governor is determined by how much they suck up to Trump, and now we're here.

 Nothing makes sense about this or just the way he's handled the spread of Corona in general until you look at it in a different light: He's been trying to stay on Trump's good side by doing what he want's governors to do, but either on a delay or ahead of schedule. In other words, he's the one guy incapable of marching in a straight line. Think about it. When Trump said it wasn't a big deal and that it would blow over, most Republican governors followed him. But as the virus grew more serious, more and more began changing their tune, as did the President himself. All except for Gov. Shotgun, who refused to shut down the state when every other one had closed, and who also announced to great predicament that he had "just" found out the virus could be spread by asymptomatic people, when everyone in the entire god damn world had known that for three weeks. And now, with Trump saying he wants people to "liberate" their states from tyrannic governors who are committing the war crime of wanting them to be healthy, Kemp is the first governor to open up a state to business. I guess he thought that by being the first in line Trump would pat him on the head or something, but the reality has been the complete opposite and I am loving every minute of it. Or at least I would, if I didn't have to live under him. Regardless, this just shows why we need some steady leadership in the White House, because with these governors trying to win political favor by doing whatever drools out of Trump's mouth, they're legitimately endangering us all. And unfortunately that's not an exaggeration.

The Problem With Kemp I

The Problem With Kemp I A Sheep in Wolves Clothing There are many ways you can describe Brian Kemp. You could call him slow, reactive, milquetoast, conservative, and many, many more titles, but the one that is never fitting is leader. Through and through, Brian Kemp is a man that simply follows. He is desperate to reach the big league of politics that he’s dreamed of playing in, and so he tries to mimic the people he sees in the positions he wants. There isn’t one aspect of him that is original or authentic, everything is simply a show so he can hold on to the power he wants, and the worst part is it’s so damn obvious. The first signs of his inability to think for himself was early in the 2018 gubernatorial race during the crowded Republican primary. It was commonly accepted at the time that the real race in heavily conservative Georgia was the Republican primary, because a win there combined with a guaranteed general election victory meant you were the next governor.

The Problem With the Tea Party I

When Pigs Began to Fly or: How Republicans Learned to Love Government Bailouts The most animistic trait we still have as humans, one that has been carried on over from our ancestors for hundreds of years, is panicking. Panicking for us, just as it exists in animals, causes us such great anxiety and fear that it just overrides everything we’ve learned and been taught how to do, no matter how sound and logical it might be, a trait that has come out a lot recently during this pandemic. Instead of heeding the advice of experts like Dr. Fauci who told us this virus wasn’t going to just be like the flu, we laughed him off and went back to living our lives. And when it did turn out to be worse than the flu and everything seemed to be collapsing around us, instead of just going to the store and buying what we needed before calmly heading home to shelter and wait it out, we panicked. Story after story came out about people buying up literally dozens of toilet paper packages...
