Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who’s basically a goth but dresses like the father-in-law your spouse never directly defends during the blow-up that ensues when you slip up and say out loud that family gatherings will be much less awkward after he finally dies, was typically dark and morose Thursday. Even Johnson couldn’t pretend that convicted felon president Trump’s birthright citizenship ban would survive at the Supreme Court. What’s interesting is that which RonAnon doesn’t do here and well, you know, make even the slightest nod to the reality that he actually has agency in this and could work on a real bipartisan solution to what he presents as an existential threat to miserable, deeply entitled, boomer-aged caucasian fathers-in-law everywhere.
The word “compromise” loses its dual meaning in such Republican-coded contexts: That to come to a bipartisan solution is no different than fatally undermining the ramparts of the medieval fortress that is a white nationalist revanchist party like the congressional GOP. To exchange concessions with Democrats, like an overhaul of the utterly bricked legal immigration system to acquire win on priorities such as restricting the Chinese birth tourism industry that creates some voters 18 years later – when Ron’s hopefully already long dead after driving a jet ski into a bridge pylon – is the same as an unconditional surrender. Thing is he’s too chickenshit to just come out and say that to the Fox News audience, so he retreats to complaining that the Supreme Court won’t just do his job for him and are effectively responsible for “destroying this country” by creating “millions of voters who will obviously not be voting in the best interests of America.” It’s that Neil Gorsuch libtard’s fault.
So yeah, Ron Johnson’s a cunt and even more so to the people who regard him as a “fighter” for “America First” who doesn’t even have the guts to tell them the only reason there had to be a disastrous Supreme Court hearing is that he and other Republicans are too scared to make the hard calls to stem the flow of “anchor babies,” untold millions of whom actually voted for Trump in 2024.
Ron’s blackpill overdose just barely eclipsed that of fellow scumbag Republican Scott Perry, whose graphic, visceral cries of threats to white women stutteringly melted into an even more plaintively bleak assessment of the GOP’s November outlook – as well as his own, per some pollsters.
