Armed 'Stop The Steal' Idiots Show Up At Home Of Michigan Secretary Of State

By Susie Madrak — December 7, 2020

So you're planning a nice evening at home with your four-year-old, watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and putting up Christmas decorations. And then Trump morons with guns show up.

I keep saying that the 40-year Republican push to defund public education is really paying off, as hundreds of thousand gullible fools believe every absurd Dadaist statement that falls out of Donald Trump's mouth. And to believe what he says of course requires you to suspend reality, and assume that every elected official in the country and every news organization is in on the scam to rob our hero of his rightful second term! Idiocracy!

How can you be that stupid? Well, they've had a head start, what with anti-vaxxer propaganda, the Protocols of Zion, the Obama birther conspiracies, and asssorted other nonsense -- not to mention years of mainlining Fox News before they moved on to the harder stuff like Newsmax and OAN. They're well primed to take the fascist bait.

And take it they did:

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says protesters gathered in front of her home as she and her 4-year-old son were finishing putting up Christmas decorations.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel: "Anyone can air legitimate grievances to Secretary Benson's office ... but terrorizing children and families at their own homes is not activism. This disturbing behavior masquerading as protest should be called out for what it is and roundly condemned."

The individuals gathered outside my home targeted me as Michigan’s Chief Election officer. But their threats were actually aimed at the 5.5million Michigan citizens who voted in this fall’s election, seeking to overturn their will. They will not succeed in doing so.
