More news from the party of "Fiscal Responsibility."

Apparently, the #MIGOP and #AZGOP are effectively broke.

This doesn't hurt the major candidates, but rather the Republicans lower on the ticket, who are now 'on their own.' https://www.salon.com/2023/07/05/astonishingly-low-cash-lies-leave-swing-state-effectively-broke/

Making Michigan proud one fist fight at a time (sarcasm font). #migop https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12280877/Cops-called-Michigan-GOP-members-locked-meeting-taunted-fellow-Republicans.html

I'm not saying #MIDems have fistfights at our meetings, but if we did, we wouldn't blab to the Detroit News about it. The #MIGOP is a bunch of fucking amateurs. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kicked-in-balls-fight-michigan-gop-1234785273/

Nasser Beydoun was on the MIRS Monday podcast on 27 March 2023. As he contrasted himself with US Rep Elissa Slotkin, he stated that Rep Slotkin "has a lot of support from PACs. She knows all this game [and] how to raise dark money [and] regular money. She has the Jewish community behind her, so she's going to raise all this money."

Nasser Beydoun doubled and redoubled on the trope that Jewish People have access to significant amounts of money.

Elissa Slotkin is a Jewish Person.

This kind of anti-Semitism is sickening.

Recently, the chair of the Michigan GOP posted a tweet comparing gun safety laws to the Holocaust. This is widely recognised as an anti-Semitic trope: it cheapens the Holocaust and minimises the experience of the victims of the Holocaust; it relies on exaggerations and falsifications; and it contains elements of victim-blaming. In the wake of that tweet, Jewish officeholders and university administrative staff throughout Michigan were targeted in a steep increase in hate messages and threats.

This is the environment in which Nasser Beydoun raised his anti-Semitic claims that Rep Elissa Slotkin had access to significant amounts of money because she is Jewish and has the support of the Jewish community.

Whoever Nasser Beydoun is primarying against, vote for the other person. The last thing that we need is yet another bigot in a position of power in the state of Michigan.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's attempts to invest a revenue surplus in the people is being defeated by Republicans in the State Legislature who prefer tax cuts.

I sent my own this message:

"I strongly oppose tax cuts. Revenue in excess of state appending should be invested in people, either through funding of public services or through investment in the rainy day fund.

"Cutting taxes only hurts people by disinvesting in programmes that serve the public."

"Karamo defeated a 10-candidate field dominated by far-right candidates to win the Michigan GOP chair position after a state convention that lasted nearly 11 hours. A former community college professor, she lost her secretary of state race in the 2022 midterms by 14 percentage points after mounting a campaign filled with election conspiracies.

"Karamo inherits a state party torn by infighting and millions in debt.

"It took three rounds of voting at the convention in Lansing for locally elected delegates to pick Karamo over former attorney general candidate Matthew DePerno, who had been endorsed by Trump in the race.

"With a field dominated by grassroots activist candidates running on far-right messaging, many longtime Michigan Republicans had given up on a state party before Saturday’s vote even took place.

"'We lost the entire statehouse for the first time in 40 years, in large part, because of the top of the ticket. All deniers. It turned off a lot of voters,' former longtime Republican U.S. Rep. Fred Upton said last week. 'As I look at the state convention, it looks like it could well be more of the same.'"

The county republican committees are nearly all taken over by zealots now, and they are the ones who have decided to make their leader an election denier after their disastrous showing in the last election due to unelectable candidates they themselves nominated.

in #michigan, we have also been made a target by the thomas more society attacking schools. a conservative editor of the detroit news, the state's premier conservative media, has an article out today saying RIP to the #MIGOP. 2/3

The #MIGOP just elected election-denier/Qanon cultist kristina karamo as it's new leader. She ran for secretary of state (in charge of elections) in 2022 and was smoked. Her opponent for chair was the failed GOP AG candidate matt deperno who has been cited for misconduct as a lawyer, played a big part in the fraudulent electors submitted by the #MIGOP, and was at the Willard hotel in DC on January 6, 2021. 1/3

#Michigan #COVID deaths, Sept-Dec.

2020: 3,584
2021: 4,870
2022: 2,403 (two days left)

It is still higher than it should be, but we are in a much better spot than a year ago, when the #MIGOP used political stunts and violence to prevent a reply to the Delta/Omicron wave.

We lost 12,500 Michiganders between Labor Day and April 1st - a time when vaccines were readily available. The people of this state should never forget that.
