After Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, George W. Bush ignored it. Because he didn't care about the people who were suffering from the storm surge and the post-Katrina aftermath. Bush's fly-over and speaking tour included George W(ar Criminal) Bush infamously uttering the phrase, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." |
"Nobody elected Joe Biden to be FDR," Brain-Dead Kevin McCarthy
"We did..." - Democratic Voters
One of my biggest hopes for President Biden would be a WPA II. For the last 80 years, the US has been limping along on the bones of the WPA infrastructure. Fixes have consisted of a piecemeal ramshackle patchwork duck taped and zip-tied scaffolding holding the Nation together.
President Biden with the help of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi have passed the Infrastructure and Build Back Better bills. As usual the Republican Party, sought to torpedo anything which helps the American people.
One of the persistent tenets of Republican governance is to take credit for things they did not do and to pass blame for things they did do. Unfortunately, in reality Republicans have nothing to offer the American people and never help the American people. As always the goal of the Republican Party is to destroy the American dream and crush We, the people; Creating a perpetual underclass tied to wage slavery and unending corporate bondage.
Of course, Republicans aren't simply content to destroy the Nation via economic sabotage. Republicans also believe killing Americans and perpetuating the Covid crisis is a politically savvy maneuver for them. And the GQP is correct. Republicans are more than willing to kill off some conservatives so they can have the Corporate Media broadcast their petulant one-liners;
“I took President Biden at his word; I took him at his word when he said he was going to get Covid under control," Dead Soul Kevin McCarthy.
Now another "Nu"- variant of Covid (Oo) has been located in South Africa and is sufficiently frightening enough for the US and UK to enact immediate travel bans but, expect the Republican Party to coordinate a campaign of undercutting an effective response. Currently, 90% of Democrats are vaccinated, while only 58% of Republicans are and that 58% is probably not going to increase as 40% of Republicans have no plan to get vaccinated.
And always remember the Corporate Media will BothSides and uncritically report perfidious Republican talking points. But... this is not a "doompost", as always I'm trying in a small way to point out what We, the People are up against and implore everyone who would not see the US slide into Fascism to fight as best you can and not give up. Fascism's ascent always relies on the people giving up and acquiescing to them.
