America’s a rolling disaster b/c White supremacists are in power. Stop omitting that detail from your hot takes. The GOP isn’t just usurping power for power’s sake, they’re doing it for the purpose of upholding White patriarchy/theocracy/supremacy, indefinitely. Tell the truth.
Everything they want the SCOTUS for is a crime against humanity.
Everything they want Congress for is a crime against humanity.
Everything they want the WH for is a crime against humanity.
Everything they want the state legislatures for is a crime against humanity.
Everything the GOP stands for is a hate crime against humanity.
Today’s GOP has been destroying America since 1861, that’s the reality. They haven’t become something new and unrecognizable, they’ve reverted back to their Confederate roots. They haven’t broken the system, they’ve restored it to its default oppressor settings.
This isn’t governance, it’s a glorified Klan rally. Stop letting them hide behind the gamesmanship and banality of “political strategy” when every abuse of power they commit is a *promise* to abuse & destroy actual human beings. Every end they seek is an apartheid and a genocide.
Fake legitimacy and beneficence have been granted to the Republican Party because too many Americans from all walks of life outright refuse to accept the basic FACT of history that the GOP is a White supremacist hate group and terrorist crime syndicate at home and abroad. Period.
The GOP is the Confederacy party. If you start from that basic premise, there’s no logical fucking reason why you’d STILL expect any modicum of human decency, rules, norms or morals from them while they’re literally usurping power to re-implement Jim/Jane Crow in real time.
Just b/c the GOP hasn’t explicitly declared a civil war doesn’t mean they aren’t waging one within the corridors of power. Hitler/Third Reich comparisons may be apt, but so are Confederate ones, either way the genocides began with corrupt consolidations and abuses of power.
Hence the reason Trump’s closing (and opening) argument is an ode to slavery/Confederacy. White supremacy is the ONLY promise he’s kept to the GOP base b/c it’s the ONLY promise that truly matters to them. He hasn’t cured their “economic anxiety”, he’s inflated their Whiteness.
We have concentration/human trafficking camps with eugenic uterus snatchers at the border, racist killer cops executing unarmed ppl & running slave patrols in BIPOC communities, and a public health catastrophe killing thousands by the day b/c that’s what *White supremacy* wants.
Every disaster America’s contending with is a function of White supremacy getting its way. It isn’t a mystery why the overwhelmingly White GOP wants absolute power or who they want to subjugate with it, so stop granting them the benefit of doubting their Confederate motives. Now.
None of this shit from the GOP is new, they’ve gotten away with the same heinous tactics for decades b/c said tactics haven’t been rejected by the White voting majority yet. They’ve “hidden” the war within the corridors of power but the mounting death toll is proof of the battle.
Also I’m tired of hearing people say Trump did this to the GOP as if their most glorified standard bearers weren’t also White supremacists. If you believed better of them, the Southern Strategy worked wonders on you & I don’t mean that in a good way. Examine why you fell for it.
The GOP didn’t end up here by accident and Trump isn’t off script. This is the Southern Strategy hymnal and it works b/c hatred of Black people knows no regional bounds in America. It works b/c everyone else has to be on their knees for them to feel tall. Don’t omit that either.
The other way it works is by violence and preferential treatment of the White supremacists who pose the greatest threat to our national security. The GOP becomes a dove when the terrorists are Confederates b/c they’re all on the same side of the battlefield. Stop omitting that.
Reality is the predominantly rural & suburban White Texans who keep electing Republicans aren’t actually winning anything but the freedom to die of Whiteness without interference from a functional social safety net. Their electoral “victory” ultimately amounts to self-sabotage.
They’re gonna keep killing themselves with guns, drugs/alcohol & science denial and the folk they just elected will keep not giving a fuck. Their kids will remain uneducated, unmotivated & uncompetitive and the wages of Whiteness won’t be enough to sustain them or turn the tide.
Also their feigned religiosity isn’t ever gonna save them from the consequences of their disastrous political choices. Their family systems are in a shambles and there aren’t enough behavioral health providers or community resources to clean up the endless messes they’re making.
FYI the reason why the usual suspects are so busy trying to stir up shit betwixt and against Black & Jewish ppl is b/c we’re the 1st & 2nd most reliable Democratic voting blocs & the midterm election’s quickly approaching. Intersectionality is OUR POWER. pewresearch.org/religion/2021/…
Matter of fact, it was this same intersectionality & solidarity in the fight for civil rights (and against White supremacy) that fueled passage of the CRA in the aftermath of the “Mississippi Burning” murders of 1964. It’s a bond solidified by trauma. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_o…
Bonus points if you’ve already connected the dots between the heinous killing of Black & Jewish civil rights workers in 1964 and the Mississippi location Reagan *intentionally hand-picked* for the launch of his racist ass presidential campaign in 1979… #SouthernStrategy101
Don’t be surprised or deterred by the fact that Republicans would rather double down on paranoid, persecutory delusions than face their own culpability in Trump’s criminality. Their entire platform is rooted in feigned victimhood, evasion of consequences and blatant lies.
The GOP’s had ample opportunity to throw Trump under the bus yet they refuse to do it b/c 1) they’re all partners in crime who are covering each other’s asses and 2) their base is too propagandized and rabid to back away from the ledge. Faced with facts, they retreat to fantasy.
It isn’t breaking news that when they can’t successfully self-soothe in the Fox fantasy bubble, they resort to threatening/inciting violence. We’ve all seen this tantrum b4 & it STILL isn’t a valid excuse for letting anyfuckingbody off the hook for crimes against our democracy.
Translation: despite the urgency of beating back GOP fascism/treason, a lot of White Independents & “moderates” would STILL rather pine away for an imaginary coalition they don’t have the numbers to build than join a *multicultural* coalition that successfully elects Democrats.
Ever notice how they wait til the last 3-9 months before an election to decide they’re suddenly so dissatisfied with the menu options that they’d risk an alternative path that’ll most assuredly result in further dystopian bullshit at the hands of the GOP/White voting majority? 🧐
It’d be different if they’d spent the last ~22 years since the robbery-in-broad-daylight 2000 election building the infrastructure & electoral track record of a viable 3rd party but NO. Instead they’ve become spiteful spoilers who spew shit from the sidelines and enable the GOP.
Because the base of the Democratic Party’s been Black voters for the last 60 years, so just as Black people have always been held to blatant double standards that our White counterparts aren’t, the Democratic Party’s always a convenient scapegoat while the GOP gets away w/murder.
IOW, instead of holding the White voting majority accountable for repeatedly electing Republicans thereby enabling austerity/patriarchy/theocracy/fascism, they blame the Democratic Party for not being powerful enough to undo the damage without ANY help from the White majority.
They literally do this every election season b/c their fuckery is predicated on convincing enough voters (mostly White ones) that Democrats are too feckless, ignorant & mistrusted to win their votes. They claim both sides are the same b/c fascism poses no imminent threat to them.
“They create the conditions they lament then refuse all the viable remedies.” They put shit tons of assault weapons on the streets to justify further militarization of America’s police force, which still hasn’t demonstrated competence or capability of neutralizing mass shooters.
