| OG Nazi Jeanne Ives & Squishy Fascist Gary Rabine |
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.
"They can not imagine liberals are not thinking of doing the same thing back to them."
ReplyDeleteThis is such an important point. I have always believed that the great majority of people just assume that everyone else would do what they would do in any given situation. That is the real reason white people in the US are so afraid of minorities- they know what they did when they had unquestioned control, and they cannot imagine that anyone else would be less vicious, hate-filled and greedy than they were. Sad to say, I cannot think of a possible way to overcome this problem.
"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."
ReplyDeleteThis is the conundrum that conservatives leave liberals in. After thuglicans abuse the system and warp things beyond recognition the Liberals are expected to live by the "new" rules since the thuglicans created them by using twisting the "old" rules.
As an example look at the dishonorable supreme court of thuglican partisans.
They use the power of the court to destroy and rewrite laws ignoring precedents and history.
When, and if, sane justices regin control of the court they are face with the paradox of having to ignore non sensical precedents that the past has burdened them with, such as Heller-Citizens United-Shelby Cty etc, thus proving to thuglicans that the liberals are just the same as them so alls fair game.
Or the sane majority could allow precedent to stand allowing the thuglican loonies to have a head start on oppression when next they claim power.
Thus the difference, in my mind, between many liberals and progressives.
Liberals value the institions that worked in the past and are willing to allow unimaginable liberties to be taken with our liberties to "protect" their hallowed institions.
progressives are willing, even eager, to allow historical institions to collaps and be replaced when they have been warped beyond recognition and they have ceased to do their assigned function.
The "Blue Slips" ( Senators from State judge is from had to return blue slips to show acceptance no blueslips no appointment) about federal judgeship appointees is a place where the "liberals", such as Leahy, have finally learned their lesson.
After addled ronnie violated the rule occassionaly then under the twits reign when thuglicans controlled the Senate they were totally ignored. When D's came back Leahy reinstated then and no thuglican would return a blue slip for any of Obama's appointment. That is part of the reason that demented donnie had so many judicial vacancies to fill.
This time Leahy has reinstated the Blue slips on an "advisory" level and will ignore them when they are simply obstructionist.
Needless to say the thuglicans are howling about tyranny and dictatorship over this issue when turned againt them and vowing "revenge" on the next turn of the wheel.
