Forget Florida focus on the Four (Five) Southwest Corner States

"The vibe on the ground was totally different than this," Charlie Kirk talking to Arizona lunatic Wendy Rogers.  Rightwingers run on Vibes not Votes.  That's why the animating principle for Republicans is #OwntheLibs and not say how can we set up a more just union which materially benefits Americans?

The United States is a center-left Nation.  On every issue, Democrats represent the overwhelming will of America.  Yet...  the Republican Party persists.  It's no secret why Republicans still threaten the United States, they've inflitrated the Government and subverted laws and rights at every opportunity to ensure their agenda of oppression and subjugation continues to plague the American people.

It appears America's dildo is a lost cause for the foreseeable future. Florida has had steady trickle of angry Reactionary white boomers coalescing in the infected tip.  And those boomers are red-faced and furious. They were the golden children of America. They were going to live forever. The World was there's for the taking.  And then they got old.

Meanwhile, Soft Focus Kari Lake lost her bid to be the pugnacious Trumpette of Arizona.  And the Democrats won throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, okay Nevada, were the Machinery set up by Harry Reid continues to churn out wins for the Democrats.

The Southwest is already a blue bulwark against the sea of red which rolls over the empty High Plains of the Nation.  So, accept that, with the exception of an odd House district in Florida, the Southwest should be the focus of effort along with the old so-called rust belt states.  Because Republicans in the US House and Rightwingers in back room meetings continue to indicate that should they get power, women are going to be reduced to second class citizens bereft of the basic rights to bodily autonomy and Republicans will aid Vladimir Putin and other Authoritarian leaders roll back progressive gains and ensconce a new era of Fascism on the Globe.

Read this excellent short article by Mark Greene about the MAGA Boomer Rage and how there were several inflection points and the Boomers, as a whole, often made the worse decision each time and it's led to the Faux News fueled White Boomer Rage.  From the article, 

The MAGA bell curve peaked as we moved into retirement, staring blankly at our own mortality. Because we had bought into the decades long drumbeat of individualism sold to us by a GOP bent on eliminating social safety nets, we sought validation in class and status and so ended up without community.

A succinct description of Florida and its' denizens.

The GOP Plan for America: Death & Taxes

Republicans will Rule or they will Ruin America. 

I *am* taking notes on a fucking criminal conspiracy - signed Rick Perry 2020-2021

The only thing Republicans have to offer the American people is Death & Taxes.

The Paleoconservative wing of the Republican Party, once typified by racist Hitler-loving zealot Pat Buchanan is mainly passé.  However, one canard which remains active in the rightwing propaganda network is some people don't pay enough taxes and the rich pay too much in taxes.

Rick Scott, a colossal thief who bilked old people and the US Government out of Billions of dollars but got off Scott free with a $300,000,000 severance package (Brett Favre's mistake was going for too low an amount so while Favre's a HOF football player he's a Rookie grifter) has concocted an 11-Point Plan to further fuck over the American People.  It's an unholy mess which is designed to destroy the US Government.  No, that's not hyperbole.  One of the key points is sunsetting every piece of legislation in 5 years.  This alone would end the US Federal Government.  But, besides drowning the US Government in the climate-change rising tides of Florida, instead of a bathtub, Scott wants to ensure the mistake of the Post World War 2 America is repealed as well, raising taxes on the ever shrinking middle class, until all of Us are reduced to Wage Slaves.  

It's no different from every revelation that Donald Trump was an epic tax cheat and financial conman.  MAGA treated each piece of evidence with orgazmic approval and joyous expressions of admiration, 'That just proves he's smart!'  They yearn to be like him; an outright bigot, a contemptuous scofflaw, a tax cheat, an unctuous criminal with Fuck You Money who get to ignore laws, rules, regulations, and constraints whenever they feel like it.

While much of the Republican Party thought they could use Trump's rise to rubberstamp tax cuts and appoint ignorant petulant children to Federal Judges they also got an Insurrection and appeals to Fascism and Violence which initially frightened them but, they learned to stop worrying and love the Mob.

Everyday comes new revelations of what was obvious; elected Republicans conspired with Donald Trump and his criminal cabal comprised of his executive branch and family to overthrow the US Government.  The mob which attacked the Capitol was damn certain they had not only Trump's blessing but, were in communication with Republicans inside the Government.  147 GQP Senators and Representatives voted to   continue the Coup by Bureaucratic means after the violent January 6th Insurrection failed.

As a microcosm, in Nevada, Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak was accosted and threatened with hanging and bodily harm by two conservatives.
 
Nevada State Republicans, especially the loathsome Michelle Fiore, rushed to defend this and said the Governor brought it upon himself and deserved it.

It's an incident which shows the accelerating nature of rightwing discourse.  Threats of Violence are de rigeur for conservatives.  That's why January 6th was "legitimate political discourse".   

So, that's why two conservative psychos in Nevada felt not only within their rights but, righteous in threatening to murder the Governor of Nevada.  That's why a Republican running for Attorney General in Michigan feels not only comfortable but, confident her call to arrest and execute Doctors will help her win the election.

If the Republicans retake the House and Senate in 2023, everything you thought was won during the 20th century and all the way back to the Civil War is up for grabs.  Republicans in numerous states will roll back every labor protection, civil rights, education, worker's rights, EVERYTHING, because they know the Republican Congress will be busy throwing fuel onto everything and investigating Hunter Biden's TRUE CROSS Laptop while impeaching President Biden daily.  Republican State run legislatures and Governors will expand their "laws" to encroach and infringe upon other States knowing that any challenge that goes to the Supreme Court will go their way.

And then the Paramilitary Rightwing Domestic Terrorists will tag-in and relieve Police Forces of the onerous job of executing minorities and gathering up dissidents for relocation and reeducation. 

Death & Taxes are coming your way America...

Nevada Uprising: Cliven Bundy & Right-Wing Militias declare War on the US

Nevada criminal Cliven Bundy, became a conservative cause célèbre as Bundy set himself up as Simon de Montfort, battling the injustice and tyranny of the Federal Government.
"My forefathers have been up and down the Virgin Valley ever since 1877. All these rights I claim have been created through pre-emptive rights and beneficial use of the forage and the water. I have been here longer." Cliven Bundy
Bundy owes over $1,000,000 in fees for grazing on Federal Lands, when in 1993 he decided to stop paying fees for using public lands. Since then he has lost numerous court cases.

But, the Right-Wing Wurlitzer of Outrage stoked the flames and invited Militias to stand with Bundy against the Federal Government.

Of course, the issue isn't complex Bundy, is a member of the 1% who feels that public lands and natural resources belong to him to do with as he pleases and understands that laws and regulations are for the little people NOT a Job Creating Plutocratic Noble of Nevada.

Bundy and his Tea Party Terrorists have repeatedly asserted Bundy owns the land, but he of course has no legal documents or land deeds to back up their claim.

Right-Wingers bow and scrap to the Plutocracy and desire the destruction of the United States of America and the institution of a Neo-Feudal Nation with the 1% controlling Fiefdoms free of Washington DC "Tyranny".

Tyranny, in the minds of right-wingers, is losing the freedom to oppress minorities, dominate women and rape and pillage natural resources for their gain.

Aided by Faux News, Bundy implied he was willing to have his serfs and conservative militiamen declare war on Federal Authorities. Sean Hannity asked Bundy, "How far are you willing to go? How far are you willing to take this?"
"My statement to the American people, I’ll do whatever it takes to gain our liberty and freedom back."
Be careful of anyone who declares they are willing to do whatever it takes for Our Liberty with Your Life.
"This is what I prayed for," said Margaret Houston, one of Bundy's sisters. "We are so proud of the American people for being here with us and standing with us." 
"We won the battle," said Ammon Bundy, one of the sons of the Criminal Bundy. 
While Militias may see this as an extension of the Baron's War against the Crown, Bundy and his family are nothing more than a Common Thieves albeit with big aspirations and the firm conviction of sacrificing your life for their gain.

Addendum:
I must congratulate the Bureau of Land Managament and other Federal Authorities for diffusing the situation. Right-Wing Sovereign Citizens and other conservative terrorists appeared quite ready to murder LEOs and other officials.

Addendum 2:
Via Crooks and Liars, Tea Party Domestic Terrorists planned to use women as human shields.

Addendum 3:
Cliven Bundy gave a news conference yesterday to commemorate his victory while flanked by the white power militias and Oathbreakers domestic terrorists. "Opening that gate should have been the Governor's job and protecting him should have been the Sheriff." Bundy continued explaining that he couldn't get any sleep at his ranch because of the "Militiamen" and "cowboys" laying around. So he knelt down and said a prayer and he received this reply, "Sheriff Gillaspie your work is not done. Every sheriff across the United States of America, take away the guns from the United States bureaucrats."
