There is a sure schadenfreude in watching a MAGA humper destroy their very own political profession, and each person with a shred of compassion is rightfully outraged at Governor Noem’s story about killing her canine, Cricket. It was an act of wanton cruelty towards an harmless creature. But what everybody appears to be lacking is that was the purpose of the story.
Kristi Noem is a whole lot of issues, a calculating opportunist, a corrupt politician, a liar, and a bigot, amongst many others. But she isn’t dumb. You don’t get to the place she is by being dumb, and although all of the pundits and rational thinkers are making the idea that together with in her e book the story of killing an harmless creature was a dumb transfer, I feel they’re lacking the purpose.
Donald Trump and the GOP and Project 25 have all made it clear their purpose is to finish American democracy in favor of an Orban type theocratic autocracy. The GOP has embraced bigotry and isolationism and white supremacy. They have promised to spherical up 11 million immigrants and put them in detention camps on the best way to deportation (in the event that they make it that far). They have promised vengeance towards their political enemies, and the recent sweep up of peaceable protestors exhibits they’ve a military of police on their facet.
Anyone who thinks they’re going to deal with any of those prisoners with basic human dignity or help their human rights is fooling themselves. You know what they’re going to do. They know what they’re going to do. And Kristi Noem is angling to be Trump’s VP choose as a result of she is aware of he’ll want a robust working mate who may have no downside together with his plans for rounding up harmless individuals, reporters, immigrants, professors, and anybody else who speaks out publicly towards them. Choosing to incorporate in her e book a narrative of her willingness to slaughter an harmless creature with out regret was not a dumb transfer or a mistake on her half. It was an audition.
