Up North Progressive

By now anyone in Michigan with an internet connection that can stream videos (not many of us up north has that luxury in 2021) watched Mike Shirkey tell three Hillsdale County GQP the “DC thing” was a prearranged staged hoax even Mitch McConnell was in on, and he fantasizes physically assaulting Governor Whitmer. Now that we know why Shirkey is so cozy with the ammosexuals who tried to kidnap the governor and murder her last fall, what else does Shirkey say in this video?

A lot.



The purpose of the February 3, 2021 meeting was to inform Shirkey on February 4, 2021, the Hillsdale County GQP would vote to censure him over a laundry list of items they believed he lied about. The first item was the recent banning of open carry inside the state capitol and a media quote that he co-sponsored. Shirkey insisted that wasn’t true until one of the people sitting at the table pulled out his phone and read the quote to him. He informed the group the Capitol Commission wanted to completely ban all firearms in the Capitol and the grounds, but he intervened and the commission stopped at open carry.

About the 2020 election: Shirkey argued that the election wasn’t stolen from Trump. Michigan’s’ ballots were counted four times and the numbers remained the same. Despite this fact, Mike does claim 15,000 votes cast in Michigan were fraudulent. Where does he get that number? When asked why poll workers at the TFC put up cardboard in the windows Shirkey says “because they were stupid.”

Shirkey decided to give a mini-lesson on the Electoral College. Over burgers and fries, he explained the founding fathers came up with the Electoral College so the urban centers of the country wouldn’t decide the election.

What urban centers existed in the days of the founding fathers? The three largest cities in the United States at the time were New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, which didn’t even call itself a city yet. New York City’s population in 1790 was 33,000. Philadelphia was 28,000. The town of Boston was 18,000. The founding fathers were not concerned about urban centers dominating elections because most Americans lived in rural areas until the industrial revolution. That happened in the early 20th Century.

Shirkey continued to talk about the Electoral College and says “if we don’t make a change our votes will not count in 15 years.” He explains Michigan needs to set up their Electoral votes like Maine and Nebraska which allow presidential candidates to take some of the electoral votes if they win the majority votes in those congressional districts, instead of the current winner take all Michigan currently uses. In other words, one kind of gerrymandering in Michigan is no longer legal, so we need to use another kind of gerrymandering to keep a GQP majority in the state.

The Hillsdale County GQP members demanded to know why Shirkey surrendered to Governor Whitmer. This is where Mike shared his fever dream of getting into a fistfight with Gretchen Whitmer and kept referring to blocking budget proposals and executive appointments as “spanking” her. This didn’t stop Mike’s dinner companions from complaining about the state having too much power and if they mandate vaccines that is the line if crossed that will make them start shooting. This point was stated by a man named Lance.

The discussion ended with the group promising Shirkey the vote to censure him would take place the next day and Shirkey stating he didn’t give a shit. They called him a liar and Shirkey called them bullies. This prompted Lance to call Shirkey a pussy and every time they try to talk to him he acts like he’s the victim. With promises to push him out of office and Shirkey answering them with no, you’re not, he makes the bold statement:

The Hillsdale County GQP with the hidden camera makes a complaint about Shirkey not doing enough so Trump won in Michigan:

We don’t know the insides of the Trump election, but we feel something’s not right from a spiritual standpoint. If you have knowledge and proof why can’t you feel that is correct?”

Who knows what that knowledge and proof are, but they really feel it and that makes it spiritual. No wonder the GQP is on the road to becoming irrelevant.

The entire video is worth watching because along with Shirkey making the damning statement the Washington insurrection is a hoax, then attempted to walk it back only to say today no he really meant it, he’s unfit to hold the office of State Senator. The Michigan Democratic Party demanded he resigns. It’s clear he’s lost all credibility with his own party for speaking the quiet parts out loud.

Mike Shirkey needs to resign. He will have more time to hang out with his friends the Null brothers, the Michigan Militia, and Dar Leaf.
