Republicans find a new young White supremacist sociopath to glorify and emulate every year. This is how they recruit more Republicans and more White supremacist sociopaths, who so often graduate to become White domestic terrorists. The MSM colludes with them to normalize it all.
Kyle Rittenhouse is an American problem. Derek Chauvin is an American problem. The McMichaels are an American problem. The J6 insurrectionists are an American problem. The GOP/MSM alliance that aids, abets and incites ALL of these American problems is an AMERICAN PROBLEM.
The GOP maintains its status as the White man’s party because it champions and facilitates the White man’s exclusive right to go on shooting/killing sprees when they collectively aren’t getting their way. #BigotryAndBullets#Confederacygate#FollowTheNRAMoney
They’re simultaneously gifting weapons of war to their kids and indoctrinating them with White supremacist GOP (Confederate) propaganda. Training them for a race war, to be more specific. They’re crusading against CRT/SEL because they don’t want their foot soldiers deprogrammed.
And the overwhelmingly White MSM that enabled and normalized the glorification and absolution of White supremacist vigilantism will turn on a dime and pretend to be shocked, awed and dismayed when the next MAGA murder/terrorist attack/mass shooting/insurrection happens. 😒
DHS circa Sept ‘20: “Violent extremists almost certainly will continue their efforts to exploit public fears associated with COVID-19 & social grievances driving lawful protests to incite violence, intimidate targets, and promote their violent extremist ideologies”- via @politico
Trump/DOGE/the GOP are destroying *community resources for education, recreation, employment & healthcare* bc they want MORE social dysfunction & economic chaos. They’re catalyzing a Putinesque oligarchy built on a reinforced American caste system, it ain’t a mystery or surprise.
I don’t wanna hear shit else about “Ds not meeting the moment.” Literally the only reason America even has/had all the public services Rs are gleefully destroying is Ds. Y’all insisted on letting perfect be the enemy of good & look at us now, contending with evil every damn day.
Also just b/c you didn’t join the fight until some Bros occupied Wall Street in 2011 doesn’t mean the Black base of the Democratic Party hasn’t been fighting the battle for civil rights AND socioeconomic justice in America since 1619. You didn’t help but now you want moments met.
A lot of folk seem to think that repeating “I support Trump/DOGE/the GOP’s funding cuts b/c there’s too much fraud, waste & abuse in government” makes them sound reasonable and fiscally responsible when really all they’re doing is parroting Southern Strategy dog whistles. 🙃
For context, watch this👇🏾clip. It’s the most commonly executed mental gymnastics routine in these interviews of FAFO MAGAts who still don’t wanna admit they’ve been brainwashed by the GOP (and Fox) into supporting the dismantling of their entire government-dependent livelihood.🤸
Not only is there a shit ton of fraud/waste/abuse in the private sector that they hypocritically pretend is infallible & superior to the public services they divest from (b/c they think it hurts ‘those’ people), *they* end up reliant on those same underfunded public resources.
“New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.” | via @politico #InstabilityInChief #BuyersRemorse #GOPOverreach politico.com/news/2025/02/2…
Much of the reason White “moderates” are so shellshocked about having no quick reprieve from Project 2025 is they’ve historically been able to evade the worst of GOP policy by “swing” voting for divided govt that allows Ds to rescue them from the R trifectas they keep unleashing.
IOW, they create economic chaos by voting GOP in presidential years (to assert their Whiteness) then crawling back to Ds with their tails between their legs at the midterms b/c they desperately need a bailout from GOP austerity/overreach and want their SS, Medicaid & Medicare. 🙃
If anything good comes from this unmitigated disaster & international fucking embarrassment (part II) I hope it’s that folk who never bothered to understand how American government works or why they should give a damn about the social safety net finally learn it from losing it.
Every time I see an MSM clip of them sorrowfully (but unconvincingly) reporting these #TrumpLayoffs & agency closures/takeovers I roll my eyes damn near out of my head b/c WTF members of the press?! Stop pretending there was “no” way to predict this when Y’ALL fanned the flames.
Then there’s the FAFO folk who actually ordered the code red on their own selves b/c they’ve been terminally brainwashed by 60+ yrs of the GOP Southern Strategy to reflexively hate the federal government (even though they need it) b/c of its interventions re: slavery & Jim Crow.
I’m gonna preface this by saying it’s mostly anecdotal but the patients I’m seeing virtually in TX (mostly White, rural/suburban) have been so medically unwell for the last month, primarily upper respiratory and gastrointestinal. Lots of flu, a smattering of COVID and colitis…
At first I was like well yeah it’s winter and cold/flu season plus vaccine refusal is off the charts, so folk aren’t keeping up with COVID boosters or annual flu shots etc., but now that it’s coupled with #InstabilityInChief shuttering public health services & communication... 🥴
And then it got even weirder this week when a patient told me school districts near him were closing in droves and said 650! students were out sick. I googled as soon as the session ended and look: nbcdfw.com/news/local/sch…
Better yet, since we’re reliving the same pathology (and it’s been so long that the original links no longer work), I’m gonna repost all the #InstabilityInChief essays I wrote @dailykos for posterity’s sake…
