Never. Fucking. Forget. #TheGOPIsAnUnregulatedGun #ProLifeIsALie #Confederacygate
Translation: please don’t separate us from the only security blanket we’ve ever known. Please don’t disempower us by making us relinquish our exclusive right to terrorize everyone else into submission, subjugation & learned helplessness. White supremacy will NOT disarm itself. 🌳
Despite infinite school shootings and the GOP’s persistence in pretending they give a fuck about the sanctity of life and children, Republicans nationwide plow ahead with catalyzing more school shootings/mass murders in the public square. #ProLifeIsALie #GOPDeathPanels🩸
Oh lord, look at Dan Patrick whining and unsuccessfully trying to muster alligator tears to deflect away from the ENTIRE @TexasGOP’s WILLFUL negligence, malfeasance and overall SOCIOPATHY. Vote them ALL the FUCK OUT in November. 🔥💣🌊
Fuck all of these fake ass tears. Texas Republicans don’t give a FUCK and won’t lift a finger to stop these senseless massacres from happening over and over again. Fuck all of these insulting & idiotic deflections to mental health from Republicans who’ve defunded MH since Reagan.
These massacres are on @GregAbbott_TX, the RNC, NRA, @TexasGOP, Russia, the ENTIRE US Congressional GOP and SCOTUS. Electing @BetoORourke the next Governor of Texas and putting an end to this senseless carnage IS. ON. US. #ExpectUs #BetoBelieveIt #BetoDaysAreComing 🔥💣🌊🆘
Actually, that’s not entirely true. We most definitely ARE coming for their ARs and AKs. Just like Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party did in 1994 with the *Assault Weapons Ban* that the GOP maliciously allowed to expire in 2004. #ExpectUs to save lives.
How’s this for CRT?! ☕️ No matter how hard the revisionists contort themselves and American history for financial gain and CYA, once upon a time Congress WAS capable of *taking action* to prevent domestic terrorism, gun proliferation, and violence against women/children.
Let’s go over this one more time now that folk finally give a shit. 👩🏾🏫 The #1 reason gun control and a laundry list of other issues are such a heavy lift for stellar Democratic White allies in the South and all over America is b/c the White voting majority will NOT disarm itself.
Oh and you Beto believe it’s a double-edged sword b/c the predominantly White far left refuses to apply nuance to police/criminal justice reform conversations, thereby making it damn near impossible to find common ground re: law & order. They prioritize purity over public safety.
From the article👆🏾: “Many Black leaders saw the notoriously harsh law as an imperfect solution to unbearable levels of urban crime.” Now juxtapose that with White GOP, ConservaDem (Manchin) & alt left leaders like Bernie & Fetterman, who share the same rural White gun addiction.
IOW, the rubber meets the road on gun control because predominantly White men across the political spectrum won’t literally disarm themselves or figuratively disarm the hegemony that’s historically kept them atop the food chain in American society. Their privilege is VIOLENCE.🩸
As I told Joe Walsh (who clearly wants to fashion himself as a reformed, reasonable & respectable conservative), this is the selfishness & endless empathic failure of White American manhood, as it was prototyped in the rugged individualist image of John Wayne. Baked-in toxicity.
Bottom line is Beto isn’t just squaring up w/a local #PodiumOfBastards (h/t @Marmel) exclusive to TX. He’s David vs. a GOP Goliath of institutionalized oppression for personal gain, privilege & White POWER. They’re infuriated that he doesn’t need/want their plantation fantasies.
Indeed we do need way more White men like Beto willing to risk it all, @smoran26 and that’s precisely how/why Joe Biden won the D primary and the presidency. He rose above a field full of opponents who walked & talked too softly around White supremacy for fear of losing votes.
And in case it isn’t already exceedingly clear, acquiescing to daily/weekly massacres & yearly escalations in gun-related fatalities IS walking & talking too softly around White supremacy. Reliable allyship in this atrocious climate means seeking sobriety from White gun culture.
Sure, let’s go down that road because it’s 100% illustrative of my point. For both me & Walsh to be 100% right on both the motives AND the politics, the issue is STILL that we’re only tolerating these massacres because that’s what a preponderance of White sociopaths want. 💯%.
I sincerely hope y’all are paying close attention because what they’re saying is prepare to “maybe” get background checks *only* because asking White men/boys to surrender their killing machines in light of all these kids being disintegrated at school is a bridge too fucking far.
