Will the Corporate Media push the Rightwing Trucker Boogaloo

In a repeat of the Tea Party nonsense, I see the Corporate Media is back to amplifying and providing undue coverage to minuscule conservative propaganda campaigns.  Even the slenderest of rightwing tantrums is treated as though it's a spontaneous uprising of the Great Masses of Real America!  E.g. Mom's for Liberty! Enter the non-stop coverage of Truckers fighting Covid Tyranny! 

For years rightwing media has known if they constantly and consistently repeat their talking points, the Corporate Media world will be forced to (or willingly) cover the nonsense and often just regurgitates the framing crafted by right-wingers.  

For weeks, Rightwing media hyped the Canadian Convoy (funded primarily by American conservatives and comprised mainly of Canadian Fascists) as an expression of "freedom".  Conservative luminaries, like Candeath Owens and Dilbert Scott Adams, proposed seriously that Prime Minister Trudeau should be forcibly removed by U.S. Armed Forces and rightwingers across the Nation, from he lowliest Alex Jones troglodyte to Arch-Traitor Donald John Trump himself declared Trudeau was far more of a dictator than Vladimir Putin, 

"The tyranny we have witnessed in Canada in recent weeks should shock and dismay people all over the world," Trump said.

Such statements wholly divorced from reality and of sheer buffoonery only makes sense when you understand The Right lives in a completely sealed media bubble, breathing in and regurgitating the same noxious nonsense to each other over and over again, until it becomes concentrated bullshit.  But, it would be nice if outside the bubble the media would focus more on what these rightwing temper tantrums almost always turn out to be; i.e. huge opportunities for grifters to fleece MAGA morons.

Illinois Governor candidate Gary Rabine (Nazi Party) who's slated to get 5% of the vote in the coming primary attached himself to the Convoy in a feeble attempt to jump-start his flaccid campaign.  Even Illinois Republicans, who flirt with fascism, probably won't be excited about Gary's performative assholery. 

Nothing about conservatives should shock or surprise anymore.  The Republican Party is dead.  Conservative political thought long ago morphed into "Own the Libs" and abandoned their so-called principles, ethics, values, morals, and beliefs.  Conservatives live on hatred and a fanatical desire to punish those they hate; We, the American People.

But, the Corporate Media can not acknowledge this stark truth because to do so would be to cast doubt on their rhetoric since Ronnie Raygun.  And worse yet, it would illustrate how they have helped the fascist beast grow and thrive... 

And so when despicable Ron DeSantis was ignoring Covid spikes which have thus far killed upwards of 100,000 Florida residents, the Corporate Media couldn't get enough of his terse press conferences and his pugnacious attitude.  When rightwing media declared Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has won the Pandemic over and over, the Corporate Media world adopted their framing (as they always do).  

So, what's happening since the Media adopted him? DeSantis has pushed bills criminalizing children and their parents for their biology.  Florida is crafting and passing laws making it illegal to vote Republicans out of office and setting up a law enforcement agency to track down those who vote the wrong way, DeSantis brazenly berates children at his press conferences because their wearing masks irritates him. 

Like Youngkin and every other Republican Governor, DeSantis didn't run on a campaign of Nazi Assholery (unlike Gary Rabine in Illinois) because that doesn't win.  But once in office DeSantis dropped any pretense of equanimity and simply let his rank assholishness and deplorable vile temper rule the state while subverting good governance and enshrining fascism into law.

I fear come 2024 the Corporate Media will push DeSantis the way they always push GOP Assholes as he runs for President...

Illinois Republicans and Illinois Nazis are one and the same; issue "legitimate political discourse" to Deb Conroy

OG Nazi Jeanne Ives & Squishy Fascist Gary Rabine

Covid drove conservatives insane.  Literally.  Between claims vaccine shots delivered magnetic 5G particles into their bodies to constantly invoking of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany.  The first is attributed oily skin but, the latter comes from conservatives beliefs about Government.

Conservatives always invoke Fear of the Government because conservatives always implement oppressive, evil, hateful policies when they are in power.  They can not imagine liberals are not thinking of doing the same thing back to them.

Covid mitigation plans continue to be necessary because MAGA lunatics simultaneously believe it is nothing more than the Flu and a deadly engineered Chinese Bio-Weapon, Republicans in Illinois constantly claim Democrats are going to implement death camps targeting conservatives to rile up their fascist fans.

So when conservatives and Republicans scream about concentration camps its' because they are revealing their innermost thoughts, desires, and plans.  When conservatives festoon their Fashbook pages with images of trains leading to death camps it's a revelation of their innermost yearnings.  It's projection.

Now, Gary Rabine is one of those squishy Illinois Republicans he can't let his Swastika Flag fly freely because he knows he's in a state where he has to appear reasonable.  Rabine is from Bull Valley whose Police Force is infamous for bogus traffic stops targeting people with construction equipment to extract money from them.  And, of course he's appeared with Fascist Russian compromised former Sheriff and current criminal David Clarke.  Plus, he's a supporter of disgraced Chicago FOP Union leader John Catanzara.  Catanzara it will be recalled dismissed the MAGA Insurrection and defended the criminals who stormed the Capitol and plotted to overthrow the US Government.  But, back to Squishy Rabine his attempts to split the clear 2020 Election results by claiming “I’m not smart enough to understand what was the end result, whether it was stolen or not, and I would never say that” demonstrate he's an oleaginous sack of fascist pigshit and anyone who openly declares he's "not smart enough" has no business as a Governor.

Jeanne Ives is an OG Illinois Nazi whose entire life and political career is trafficking in racism, hatred and religious oppression.  When Ives is called out for her Nazi sympathies she throws tantrums.  One of Ives proteges is Deanne Mazzochi, who will come back into play in a moment. 

Of course, downstate Illinois conservatives elected Mary Miller, an actual Nazi in 2020, who just before she helped conspire to overthrow the United States Government on January 6th said, "You know if we win a few elections, we're still going to be losing unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right..."  The reason Republicans always mention Hitler is two-fold; they don't know anything about History other than watching WW2 docs (specifically the European theatre) and they admire the shit out of him. 

So, when Democratic Legislator Deb Conroy brought forth a bill in the Illinois State Legislature, these Republican Nazis and others put out the message to their fascist fans to bombard Conroy and her office with death threats.  With the proliferation of devices, mediums, and platforms conservatives and elected Officials like the aforementioned Deanne Mazzochi spared no effort in communicating those threats of violence. These two Capitol Fax links (here and here) have a small smattering of the threats conservatives sent to Deb Conroy's Office.

Since Trump's Russian Assisted Victory in 2016, conservatives have gotten used to getting away with criminal activity.  In fact, conservatives have lived so long with the unequal application of laws that they feel more and more confident in openly threatening to murder Democratic Representatives (just as the criminals who invaded the Capitol planned to do.). Conservatives believe criminal law doesn't apply to them and without hesitation threaten violence.  I can only hope those conservative criminals who communicated threats via multiple means are arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for the maximum sentences under ILCS.  Will it happen?  Maybe.  Probably not, especially in light of the RNC recently declaring violence by conservatives is "legitimate political discourse".

As I stated we've passed the Fascist Inflection Point.  Conservatives all across the United States are begging and yearning for Trump (or whomever takes hold of the GOP) to issue the Orders to round-up and exterminate all their enemies; women, teachers, liberals, minorities, LGBTQ, and everyone who identifies as Non-MAGA.
