The Staging Grounds IV: It's going to be a Bloodbath

“Andrew Jackson as president was treated the absolute worst and I heard Abraham Lincoln was second but he was in this thing called the Civil War, so you can understand that.  But I said there’s no I don’t care Andrew Jackson or anybody else. Nobody is treat… when you think of the fake things. Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly.” Delusional Paranoid Dementia Donald

    During his glitchy incoherent rants, demented fascist Trump has taken to making the most ludicrous declarations of his Presidency.  Everything was the greatest of all time.  Everything was the best it ever was.  Everything was perfect.  He did the most for whatever group he's speaking too.  And everything immediately went to hell because you stole the Presidency from him.  It's the final culmination of rightwing propaganda.  It's the Ultimate expression of the Gish Gallop.  But, it's not like the Corporate Media cares to fact check, correct, or call Trump what he actually is because the Legacy Media take their cues and stories from the rightwing media and frame everything through the lens of Republican bullshit.

The Corporate Media coverage of Trump has been shamelessly inadequate for years now and it won't get better anytime soon.

I can not imagine the media BREAKING NEWS shit storm if Vice President Kamala Harris declined to endorse the President the way Mike Pence declined to endorse Trump.

It would be a monumental story of unimaginable magnitude!  Not only would signal the end of Joe Biden's career but it would be no less than a harbinger of the end of the Democratic Party.  It would be lead News Story until such time as a new candidate for President managed to emerge, whom the Corporate Media would waste no time in declaring dead on arrival as they publish 'Oh well wait till next year' news stories and circulate DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY, as the Media celebrates the coming Republican trifecta control of every single branch of the Federal Government. 

And yet... Trump and Pence is not even a two-day blurb.  

No one is coming to save us.  The media's job is to help Trump and that they will do it with every bit of chicanery, sagacious false concern, and amplification of Republican ratfucking necessary.

It was noted that in the week following the Hur Hatchet Report, the Washington Post and New York Times ran 70+ news stories on Joe Biden's Age, as every media outlet ran articles based on the one sentence Hur released.  So-called savvy pundits were plotting a brokered convention and a swapping out of candidates.

The pampered and petulant Uncommitted "protest" votes gains outsized attentional at every opportunity.

RFK Jr is still receiving coverage despite the fact his prime choice for running mate, Aaron Rodgers, is such a MAGA meatball he adheres to as many rightwing conspiracy theories as the number of times he's beaten the Chicago Bears. 

Trump is all in on the Fear & Anger stimulus response.  


"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it," he added. "It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."

So, after Trump invoked the words "bloodbath" 
the Corporate Media rushed to clean up Trump's fascist drivel as they always do.  And Trump's team rushed to make sure the story wasn't "the Bloodbath" but, instead was understood in the proper context, 

“Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers.”

It's the old Karl Rove playbook of attacking your opponent's strength as a weakness.  But, remember this tactic only works if the compliant Corporate Media uncritically plays along.

“If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal." as always Trump wants to have it both ways and the media lets him get away with it, he's great friends with President Xi even though he's super hard on Xi and kept China in their place with the Art of the Deal.

Trump then claimed he'll protect Social Security and Medicare (a scant week after he admitted he'll cut "entitlements") and if he loses the election you're not going to get another one.  IMAX doesn't have a screen big enough to capture the Projection.

You could claim "Bloodbath" is just a new variation of the American Carnage speech Trump has given before but, at this point there is no reason anyone should give Traitor Trump the benefit of the doubt about the intentions of the Republicans should they get back into the White House in 2025.  Trump absolutely means violence.

When people say this election is the most important in our lifetimes, cynical pundits like to roll their eyes and dismiss peoples' concerns.  But, those people know they won't be at risk or will even benefit from the Vile Republican 2025 Agenda.  Ben S Shapiro, one day after proclaiming Americans should never be able to retire and should be worked to death, declared he crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump. 

Trump told his crowd that immigrants aren't people,

“I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

It's quite clear what Trump and his gaggle of bloodthirsty lieutenants want if he steals back into the White House.  Most likely, they would come for migrants and Trans persons first.  It's questionable whether the American people would allow that but, the thing with Fascist Pogroms is once they are started they gain a momentum all their own.  

It's up to you to vote, to encourage others, to canvas, call or help out in every way conceivable.  The Republican Party sees a singular opportunity coalescing in 2024; a chance to forcibly install a Fascist Fundamentalist Theocracy, eliminate millions, and gut American Democracy for generations.

No one is coming to save Us.  No 14th Amendment trick will make Trump not the Republican candidate.  No Judge wants to convict Trump prior to the Election.  The Corporate Media will not accurately contextual the threat facing Us.  It's up to us to save ourselves and our very lives because if this iteration of the Republican Party gets into Power they will be coming for them.

Additional:

As if to make my point about Corporate Media obsequious deference and nefarious allegiance to Trump Queen Bigot and pampered rich white lady Kathleen Parker has a story out about how someone should drop out of this race for the sake of the Nation;  KAMALA HARRIS!
