Back when I was working in bars, I was working at this toilet bar in North Saint Paul. It was a boring Friday night in the middle of summer. Once of the bouncers left early, leaving the bar with one bouncer – a big guy with a curly perm that was trying to get into professional wrestling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other bouncer apparently went out to the parking lot and hoovered up a line of bad Bolivian Marching Powder, maybe spiked with PCP – because he came back into the bar, started bellowing at the room, and then throwing punches. He smacked the bartender, cutting his lip and knocking out a tooth or two. He also tangled with a couple of customers. throwing tables and chairs and bottles all over the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rampage went on for a while. Five minutes? Ten? I’m not sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the entire time, as the coked up loony was on his rampage, the Wrestler guy bouncer stood and bellowed “You want a piece of me? HEY! Do you want a piece of me<\/em>?” over and over, like he was filming an interstitial bit for a pro wrestling tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing at all useful, mind you. Just bellowing ” You want a piece of me? Yeah, you! You want a piece of me<\/em>“, as the guy trashed the bar and a few of its employees and patrons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wonder if that wannabe-wrestler isn’t working as a consultant for the GOP these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conservative groups have been very susceptible to the siren song of tough, unyielding talk combined with poo-poohing actually affecting policy<\/em>. One example particularly near and dear to my heart – “Minnesota Gun Right”, a group that’s not from Minnesota and will never affect gun rights, but does <\/em>make a lot of tough-talking videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Democrats are phenomenally vulnerable nationwide – married to exploding debt, economic stagnation, genocide against Israel and “woke” decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And far too much of the GOP, appears to be heading to the election focused not only on talking the talk and ignoring the walk, but saying “the walk” is stuff “Establishment RINOs” do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben Shapiro talked about this in the first couple of segments of his podcast a few days ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
