Fired pro-Trump Wisconsin 'auditor' floats 'revolution' after failing to turn up voter fraud proof

Michael Gableman, the pro-Trump "auditor" who was fired earlier this year by Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, now thinks America may need a violent revolution.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Gableman told a group of Republicans earlier this month that he fears Americans are too "comfortable" to launch a violent revolution capable of overthrowing the current American government.

"Our comfort is holding us back from taking the action that is necessary," said Gableman, a former Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice. "The greatest challenge of our poor in this country is not lack of food, it's obesity. It's a beautiful world. But it's that very comfort that is keeping us from what our founders knew to be the only way to keep an honest government, which is revolution.

Gableman went on to quote Thomas Jefferson as having said that "the tree of liberty must be watered by the blood of revolution in every generation" before then fretting that "I don't think that's going to happen."

Sounds like another nutcase who needs to be locked up.

For a revolutionary, he gave up pretty easily.
"We need a revolution. No takers? Oh well."
I notice he didn't say he be first on the line.

Crazy you say?

I think New Glarus Brewing named their "Nutty Squirrel" beer variety in memory of him.


Justice matters.

I looked up his bio. He's 56. I looked at his picture. He's obese. What kind of "revolution" is this tub of turds going to lead when he has to pee every 45 minutes, can't afford to lose his blood pressure medication, and simply cannot run, at all?

So Gableman wants to inflict more suffering on the poor so they'll revolt and an honest government will magically appear. But it that new honest government doesn't materialize, at least Gableman knuckled the poor, so it's still good.

Take a hike, you impotent, sadistic creep.
