The Republican war on logic and math continues with this Venn diagram produced by losing governor Scott Walker to try and persuade people that the legislation passed by the lame-duck legislature and signed by him stripping the incoming Democratic governor of some powers was not a blatant anti-democratic act.
I will give $100 to the first journalist who asks Walker if he was too intimidated to announce this in Madison. $200 if you also ask him to define what a Venn diagram is. https://t.co/WaJDwSo4CP

This graphic from The Progressive magazine compared Walker’s idea of a Venn diagram with how it should actually be used.
Don’t these people have aides who have at least some basic knowledge and can stop them from embarrassing themselves?
No, you don’t understand. That’s the “alternate” use of the Venn diagram…

No, otherwise they would be doing something else?
Here’s a Venn diagram showing Walker’s intelligence and normal intelligence: oo
@1 It’s the Alt Venn.
Venn diagram is angry at Scott Walker. Do NOT make Venn diagram angry!!
Didn’t he get expanded powers from the legislature? I could swear I heard that years ago but none of the coverage of this I’ve heard mentioned it, and I’d have thought a quick comparison of what people said then and now would be an easy way to do very good journalism.
@lanir:
I think you’re right -- I believe it related to re/negotiation contracts with labor unions representing government workers -either in all or just in certain sectors. I’d have to look it up, but yes, I think you’re right.
Off-topic, but you will find this interesting: New Jersey Democrats are threatening to undermine their state’s democracy
Fortunately, some people have realized that if it’s bad for Republicans to Gerrymander, it’s bad for Democrats as well.
