At one time I treated subjects like Trump/Gop Inspired Racism, Fascism in Trump's America, and the usual retrogressive cruelties of the GOP in general as if they were separate topics of discussion. But it has increasingly become apparent, to me, and to MANY others, INCLUDING some conservatives, that they are all symptomatic of the same malignant PESTILENCE.
And though there has long been a preponderance of increasingly virulent evidence of that fact (including some of the vile representations hate based, sociopathic MENTALITIES, herein), nothing (imo) quite put the rubber stamp on it like the actions Republicans took in Texas this weekend,
actions not SO coincidentally COINCIDING with the Juneteenth memorial holiday which commemorates the time when, following the treasonous southern rebellion for their "god given rights" to enslave another man
federal forces had to go down to TEXAS, to tell the stubbornly resisting rabble who were still trying to enslave Black people that their "slaves" had been declared free.
So it'd figure that on that particular occasion Texas Republicans would declare the Biden presidency "illegitimate" (because a whole lot of Black people voted for him and "everyone" knows Black votes are "illegitimate" because Black people "aren't real Americans"...hell Moscow Mitch said so himself),
and at the same time they'd reject the 1965 Voting Rights Act that reaffirmed said "not real Americans" the RIGHT TO VOTE.
And, while these fascists were on a roll, they also proclaimed all LGBTQ people (and gay marriages) an "abomination," they advocated again for secession, and (for good measure) reportedly ALSO tried to incorporate support for the attempted COUP of America's democracy into there OFFICIAL PARTY PLATFORM.
Add to that the threats, intimidation, and actions of their domestic terrorists, their conspiracy to rig the vote in their favor, their political ads and rhetoric endorsing political violence, their threats of violence against even fellow Republicans and their children, their obstructionism, their radicalized far right Supreme Court, their hate filled rhetoric, their demonization of anyone not toeing their fascist party LINE, and all the rest,
and what we've got is a FASCIST POLITICAL CULT PARTY WHOSE OFFICIAL PLATFORM IS THAT OF HATE, INTOLERANCE, INTIMIDATION, AND TERROR.
And in this thread, I'll be showcasing that in greater detail, and hopefully without the trolling, spamming, hate speech, personal attacks, and drive by **** postings by those whose PRIMARY purpose was to obscure TRUTH behind a wall of pure ****.
