The worst people of 2020 (who arent Trumps)
Part 1: Seditionists and authoritarians
By Jeffrey C. Billman
(Detroit Metro Times) Were riding up hard on the ass end of this shit year, which can mean only one thing: listicle season that glorious time when columnists the world round pre-write retrospectives for the final weeks of December and spend the holidays on the sofa chugging whiskey.
Since 2020 has been a parade of horribles, I figured it fitting to cap it off with a list of the years worst people. OK, technically, the worst Americans, as Ive excluded the rest of the world. (Apologies to Narendra Modi.) Ive also ignored the Trumps Donald, Bloodshot Eyes Don, the Dumb One, Javanka, the Daughter Donald Forgets He Has, Soon-to-Be-Donalds-Ex, the whole batch because whats the point?
Ive divided our baddies into four groups, as follows:
Seditionists: the conspiracy theorists, sore losers, and D-league fascists trying to overturn Joe Bidens victory.
Authoritarians: those who weakened the rule of law and used violence to quell anti-racist dissent.
Deniers: people whose ignorance, selfishness, political calculations, or science denial made the COVID-19 pandemic worse than it had to be.
Cowards, crooks, enablers, and shitheads: Every list needs a catch-all.
So, without further ado, heres Part 1: Seditionists and Authoritarians.
Group 1. Seditionists
RUDY GIULIANI. Rudys had a tough couple of months: farting out loud in a public hearing, that Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference, the weird hair dye (or maybe mascara?) incident, trying to get it on with Borats pretend-daughter, getting hospitalized for COVID-19, etc. And thats to say nothing of getting repeatedly humiliated in court, losing lawsuits, and watching his conspiracy theories get debunked. (Honorable mention: Sidney Powell, who filed the quickly dismissed Kraken lawsuits, and Mellissa Carone, Giulianis viral star witness in Michigan.) ...............(more)
