The Republican Convention of Victimhood and Unaccountability!

One of the most striking reasons for conservative radicalization is the total lack of accountability for making ridiculous claims and manufacturing a whole list of ridiculous culture war “threats” to real Americans. 

Oddly, Republicans are never confronted or questioned about their wacky claims by their drooling voters. This in turn allows Republicans to play the victim. 

At the recent GOP convention in Middleton, Ron Johnson whined that he was the victim of the media trashing his lies and outright bizarre comments. That victim mentality, victimhood, is the foundation of GQP politics now. JSOnline: 

Johnson: “It’s not fun having your integrity attacked, lied about, falsely accused day in and day out. It’s not fun.”

Johnson topped that tearful pout with this surreal theory that conveniently wipes clean Trump’s mishandling of the COVID pandemic. Democrats “utilized” Trump incompetence…how dare they:

“There were people inside the administration who utilized the pandemic to defeat a sitting president,” Johnson said.

As if there ever was a deadly GLOBAL virus (not just in the US) in the first place. The left made it up. But this is a “hard cold fact” for the right wing. Heaven forbid Democrats run on the Trump COVID debacle: 

And while the convention was an angry fever-swamp of resentment, hate, and vilification for everyone not Republican, Johnson realized he had them in his manipulative hands…

“I don’t know about you, (but) aren’t you tired of the anger? Aren’t you tired of the divide?” Johnson said.

It’s really obvious to everyone but sheeple WI Republicans:

Ben Wikler, chairman of the state Democratic Party, said it was ridiculous for Johnson to blame others… “I can tell that Senator Ron Johnson is tired of accountability,” Wikler told reporters.

So, the gathering of happy Republicans, who are just tired of the anger and the divide, did show unity in the face of the liberal left. Like overturning the election…:
