Once again, Georgia voters: this is the individual the GOP is presenting as an appropriate candidate for your United States Senator. This says as much about the debased state of the party as it does about the degraded state of Walker’s brain.

Perhaps a review is in order for Mr. Walker.

I recently saw someone claim that NASA couldn’t put a man on the moon any more because of “virtue signaling”. Now another very stable genius opines that paying attention to pronouns will lead Russia and China to hand us our asses in the Next Great Unpleasantness.
On closer inspection, it turned out that “virtue signaling” was shorthand for environmental and health and safety regulations. Which exist, as we all know, solely so that leftists can strike politically-correct poses and not because, say, we’d prefer not to spew industrial waste all over the places where we live or have bits of astronauts raining down on our heads at every second launch.
As for the pronouns, I venture to suggest that if America is really that great, we could probably rise to meet the technical and military challenges of the moment while taking 15 seconds out of our day to exercise the minimal politeness involved in respecting other people’s preferences. The two things are not really in conflict.
Conservatives do not agree. They subscribe to the Schrodinger’s Nation theory, in which the USA is simultaneously the greatest nation that ever was or ever will be, and so weak that a trivial cultural adjustment could bring it to its knees. The US cannot survive pronouns.
The Russians and Chinese know this, of course, which is why they are stockpiling container-loads of pronouns to be air-dropped on our defenseless homeland by stealth drones or smuggled in across the border by Mexican pronoun-mules. And if that isn’t enough, they’re prepared to escalate by deploying prepositions and even adverbs. So be afraid. Be very afraid.

Lemme tell you, China, and Russia, and Iran aren’t talking about pronouns, they’re talking about war.
Is he on the record, then, for continued support for Ukraine in their struggle against pronoun-less Russia?

Walker is not the only Republican campaining against pronouns. Pronouns should be illegal!
Correctly per Republican English, the above above becomes something like:
“Tell Herschel and other listeners the nature of a 'pronoun. My pronoun is ‘sick and tired of these pronouns. Because right now, these pronouns gonna get Herschel’s and Herschel’s homies’ men and women in the service killed.”
Of course, Herschel is a plain-talkin’ Georgian, so he doesn’t have much trouble doing without prououns. Want some real fun? Try translating the Declaration of Independence. Once you that, have a go with the Prelude of the Constitution. Hint: it starts with a pronoun.

Sorry to negate the excellent humour but this is closer to the truth.

'They" is JAP : Just Another Pronoun.
Actually, that one is easy – drop it. “We the People” is semantically identical to "The People.

And they never really meant “We”, anyhow. “Me and those that look like me” was always expressly the intent.

Ye is a pronoun, Hershy.

All I’m hearing is a promise that, if elected, he’s stop criticizing pronouns and start criticizing war. If only.
Weren’t we told by the the reactionaries that this was the reason why Russia would take over Ukraine back in March? How did that prediction work out for them?

Russia has been talking about war for several months, a lot of it quietly and nervously.
Putin actually also talks about wOkE stuff a ton…as do Republicans like Walker.
