Greg Abbott's Lone Star Fascism; Getten Zee on Der Autobus Mach Schnell!

"The migrants have to volunteer to get on a bus to Washington DC. Is that right?" War crimes cutie Dana Perino asked.

"Well let me explain how this whole process works..."  Texas Gruppenführer Greg Abbott

Getten Zee on Der Autobus Mach Schnell! 

Everyone knows how this process works...  everyone knows what this process is called...  

Smarmy Greg Abbott and the oleaginous Ted Cruz made the rightwing media rounds touting their plan to round-up and relocate "Immigrants".

This is how they always start.  Pick an out group, in this case one whom Republicans have ruthlessly and relentlessly dehumanized for nothing other than coming to the Nation looking for the American dream, as every shitty lily white conservatives' ancestor did at some point in the Nation's past, and expose them to inhumane treatment.

This is a trial run for Republicans coming plans to round-up more people and send them places.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the Abbott stunt, because rightwing media does nothing but troll and try to generate soundbites and media quips to #OwntheLibs.  

"These are all migrants who have been processed by CBP and are free to travel, so it’s nice the state of Texas is helping them get to their final destination as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings — and they’re all in immigration proceedings,” Psaki said about the first bus arriving on Wednesday.

But, Greg Abbott has to ramp up the inhumanity and hurt as many people as possible to brush up on his bonafides.  Abbott is probably going to run for President in 2024.  Which is why Abbott has tasked the Texas State Police with a farcical display of searching every truck coming in from Mexico loaded with produce after the trucks have gone through federal inspections.  Abbott defends this as a search for drugs or persons being trafficked but, in reality it harms people who purchase that produce and it's fuck with the truckers and their employers.  Also to #OwntheLibs somehow...

But, while Texas flirts with getting the forcible "relocation program" up and running the recent Senate confirmation hearing highlighted a reinvigorated avenue of Attack on Americans from Republicans:  Denying the accused Legal Counsel. 

This is, of course, not new.  Republicans have long asserted some people are not deserving of legal defenses.  Some people are presumed to be a priori guilty of crimes.  Certain races are natural criminals and poor whites are suspect too, until they show proper fealty to rightwing ideals and it's long been official GOP policy to demon liberals or those with left-leaning proclivities as soft on crime or criminals themselves (e.g. the latest grooming accusations).

Despicable scumbag Tom Cotton dared to invoke Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson's name while slandering and smearing Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson.  Cotton insultingly claimed Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson defense of detainees at Guantanamo was akin to defending Nazis.

Cotton is ostensibly an educated man, we already know he's not an Officer nor a Gentleman, so let's point out that Justice Robert H. Jackson absolutely believed the Nazi War Criminals tried at Nuremberg deserved legal defense and was adamant that the presceding been done in accordance with the best practices of Law at the time and with an eye justice over vengeance; 

"That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason."

The captured War Criminals from Nazi Germany were tried for their crimes, in direct opposition the detainees at Guantanamo captured during the phony GWoT spent more time in custody than Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz, the architect of German submarine warfare and last Head of State of Nazi Germany. A fact I pointed out when rabid conservative villains demonized Bowe Bergdahl and lied about the 5 detainees great President Obama traded for him.

I've said we've passed the Fascist Inflection Point on 01/06/21.  I've pointed out the violence the Republicans have already written into the system with guns, with running over protester "laws", with bounty's placed on anyone who comes with 15 feet of an abortion.  Republicans don't believe in the Rule of law except in the fascist sense;
For my friends everything, for my enemies the law...  Óscar R.Benavides, Peruvian Field Marshall who successfully conducted a Coup in 1914. 
While the Republican attacks on women are not coordinated on the Federal Level (yet) they are relentless from Republican controlled states, as well as, the vicious campaign to demonize and exert the awesome power of Government on individual Transpersons and Doctors and women's health workers and teachers and anyone who stands in the way of Republican creating a Neoconfederate Evangelical Nation.
Republicans are banking on winning the House and Senate in 2022, and then outright stealing the White House in 2024.  Then on January 20, 2025 with total control of all 3 branches of Federal Government the Republicans will institute the most oppressive and diabolical Government in the history of mankind.  Conservative beliefs taken to their logical conclusion inexorably lead to fascism. The greatest examples of Conservative Government are: The Confederacy of 1861, Apartheid South Africa, Chile post 1973, the Estate Novo in Portugal from 1933-1974 and of course the crown jewel of conservatism Nazi Germany.

The misery, open violence, bureaucratic strangulation the Republicans will visit upon all Non-#MAGA will ensure anyone who opposes them will meet with extrajudicial killing at the hands of Police or deportation to concentration camps in Washington DC.
