Huh... looks like being harsh and unforgiving to fascists actually gets results... November 18, 2020 3:16 pm RL

Who Knew?

A Michigan entrepreneur’s takedown of the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers who initially voted against certifying the election results is going viral after the two officials swiftly changed course.

“The Trump stain, the stain of racism that you, William Hartmann and Monica Palmer, have just covered yourself in is going to follow you throughout history,” said commenter Ned Staebler.

“Your grandchildren are going to think of you like Bull Connor or George Wallace,” he added, referring to two notorious Southern segregationists.

Wayne County is home to Detroit, a city with a predominantly Black population that voted heavily for Democrat Joe Biden over President Donald Trump.

The four-person Wayne County Board of Canvassers deadlocked Tuesday after the two Democrats on the board voted to certify the election results while Hartmann and Palmer voted against it, citing minor, but common, discrepancies in absentee poll books.

Palmer at one point suggested certifying the suburbs, which are mostly white, but not Detroit, while Twitter users uncovered Hartmann’s history of sharing racist memes on Facebook.

He concluded:

“The law isn’t on your side. History won’t be on your side. Your conscience will not be on your side. And, lord knows, when you go to meet your maker, your soul is going to be very, very warm.”

The two Republican officials later changed course and certified the results after a contentious session in which members of the public weighed in ― including Staebler, who called them “completely racist” for trying to disenfranchise the Black voters of Detroit.

The way you deal with fascists is to make their lives a living hell, make them afraid of the public condemnation, disgust and mockery that will follow them the rest of their lives. You punish them every way you legally can until they get it through their thick skulls that racism and fascism will not be accepted by the civilized people of this world.

You don’t EVER forgive them until they take some meaningful steps to stop the damage they helped set in motion.
