Republican Acts of Terror: Jacksonville Edition

“Those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice, I want to ask them what the heck, do you want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen.  We’re not going to keep putting up with this.” - Sarah Palin told Newsmax on Thursday night.

Look what we made another Republican inspired, rightwing media consuming domestic terrorist do in Jacksonville, Florida.

Aug 26 (Reuters) - A white man armed with a high-powered rifle and a handgun killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, before shooting himself, in what local law enforcement described as a racially motivated crime.

"This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people," Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters told a press conference.  The suspect, whom Waters described as a white male wearing a tactical vest, was not identified. Waters said all three victims - two men and a woman - were Black.

This murdering Nazi attempted to gain access to the historic black Edward Waters University before doning his tactical vest, ski mask, a swastika festooned firearms to murder random black people at a random Dollar General.  These Republican Acts of Terror will increase until 1 of 2 responses occurs;  1) Joe Brandon and his Weaponized DOJ sic Federal Jackboots down upon poor innocent conservative organizations like the Proud Boys at which point Marge Greene, Gym Jordan, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sarah Palin demand the immediate Impeachment and violent overthrow of President Biden by any and all means, or 2) people, especially black people, fight back against Republican Terrorists, at which point Marge Greene, Gym Jordan, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Sarah Palin demand the immediate Impeachment and violent overthrow of President Biden by any and all means.

President Barack Obama's two election victories and Donald Trump's 2020 defeat and subsequent arrests broke these people.  White rightwing men and women are untethered from society, angry, bitter, seething and lashing out violently whenever and wherever possible.  This attack in Jacksonville is merely the most recent direct violent action, indirectly the Moms for Hitler group for instance, consistently stoke the flames of rightwing violence and work to effect violence on certain groups of American society; mainly black, brown, liberal, or the LGBTQ community.

Then, in response as has been predicted and directly observed, a lone wolf conservative stochastic terrorist conducts an attack.  Meanwhile all of this rightwing domestic terrorism is pushed, prodded, aided, and abetted along by rightwing media and The Republican Party.  Who in turn, lash out, lie, and threaten violence, when their direct connection to terrorism is highlighted. 

Don't worry though I'm certain Ron DeathSantis will telegram Thoughts & Prayers while he's on his whirlwind tour of America, on the Florida Taxpayer dime.  Of course, DeSantis might have to remove the Jacksonville Sheriff for invoking CRT as a motive in this crime.

Rightwing domestic terrorism is not the most pressing threat, that's the Climate Change Disaster, but it is the most immediate.  Righting domestic terrorism accounts for 90% of deaths in the United States since 9/11.   Fascism and violence from Republicans is here and it's only going to increase in frequency and activity.  2024 is the watershed year for America, if Trump manages to swindle his way back into the White House he'll never leave and with his criminal co-conspirators ensconced into the every corner of the Executive Branch and pliant criminals riddled throughout other branches of the Federal Government, the pogroms, concentration camps, and extermination of millions of Americans will begin.
