Republicans hate America 2: Conservatives love striking Workers

Republicans are determined to beat down the American people.  A rightwing domestic terrorist used his Republican granted "right" to Run'em Down and hit 5 striking workers with his car while leaving a plant in Flint, Michigan. 

Republicans are consistently striving to make everyone's life materially worse in every imaginable way.  Whether this is by direct action like murderous Stand Your Ground/ Run'em Down "Laws" or undermining striking workers, Republicans raison d'être is bringing down the Country and the American people.

Besides hating America, Republicans constantly lie.  But, Republicans know that their 50 year campaign of whining about the so-called Liberal Media and "working the refs", they can be assured that their lies will be reported as "alternative facts" and the Corporate Media will twist themselves into knots to Both Sides every single issue.

Why else would the Corporate Media and rightwingers tout Traitor Trumps speech before a non-union group as equivalent to President Biden walking the picket line with striking UAW members.  Republicans are anti-union and Right-to-
Work (for Less).  But, the Media's job is to report what Republicans say and ignore what Republicans actually do.  Of course, with Trump the Corporate Media's job isn't even to report what he says, but to invent things to make Traitor Trump sound competent.  Even when Trump threatens to investigate and murder them, the Corporate Media is invested in Make Trump President Again.

Of course on top of this rightwing propagandists are paid big money to flood the zone with shit.  The above tweet from rightwing propagandist Benny Johnson is just one lie in an Ocean of Crap Republicans fling everywhere.

It's an excellent strategy.

Because it doesn't matter that Benny's lies are easily disprovable, even by the actual video he himself linked.  Benny Johnson knows he's telling lies.  Benny doesn't care.  Biden is for the UAW and the workers therefore conservatives are against whatever Biden is for and Benny's job, just like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Tim Pool, or whatever rightwing propagandist du jour you can think of is to build up enough lies to tear down America.  Conservatives love lies and hate America.

I found the below paragraphs of contrasting President Biden and Traitor Trump;

"Biden has been an excellent president. He succeeded in achieving a number of things Trump promised but never accomplished: getting us started rebuilding our roads and bridges and bringing manufacturing back to the US, just to name two. The process of withdrawing our troops from Afghanistan was ugly, but the end result is that we are out of Afghanistan — another thing Trump promised but never delivered.

Biden has accomplished all this without the constant drama of the Trump administration. No nasty tweets. No demeaning nicknames for his opponents. No statements implying that his critics deserve to die or inviting his supporters to get violent. In short: as president, Trump was a constant embarrassment to the United States of America. Biden is not."

This is merely the most superficial analysis, President Biden has accomplished a lot, in the face of an insane group of Republicans controlling the House, and an Instagram Wannabe in the Senate in Krysten Sinema.  All the while facing constant bullshit from the Corporate Media which always covers Democratic Administrations against a backdrop of 4 story lines: 

1. #BothSidesDoIt
2. What do Trump Voters think?
3. Today... Trump, truly, became President
4. Democrats in Disarray!!!

Under this rubric, the Corporate Media will always obscure and soften the hatred of America and actual policy positions the Republican Party loudly and consistently espouses ; namely the destruction of the United States, the end of free and fair elections, and the ensconcing of a Fascist Dystopia ruled by the twin tyranny of White Republican Supremacists and evil evangelical christianity.

Railroaded Unions (The New Afghanistan Fiasco)

Stop that Train
I wanna get on

Famously, and incorrectly, it was claimed at least Mussolini made the trains run on time.  Much like his ideological descendent Trump this was a bit of fascist propaganda and the truth was Il Duce lackey's told him things to keep him placated.

The United States House of Representatives voted today 290-137 to avert a December 9th railway strike and impose the compromise contract previously brokered by President Biden's  emergency board led by Labor Secretary Marty Walsh President Administration between the Unions and Railroads. 

Railroads and workers in America are an outlier in modern American labor.  It was no accident, the vicious Ayn Rand choose a railway as the business her female protagonist owns.  Rand pined for the days of the rapacious billionaire, the consolidation of businesses and the power they had over workers was untrammeled and resulted in brutal Wage Slavery until those evil government bureaucrats interfered with their "anti-trust" laws.  In my Gen-X history classes wedged between the end of the Civil War and the glory of the World Wars was the small section on the glided age of Robber Barrons and the terrible working conditions from children in mines to garment workers and railmen, including stories of linemen, signal maintainers, and engineers getting their arms cut off or mangled by trains and being unceremoniously fired by the Railways.  Murderous working conditions and lack of retirement benefits pushed the FDR administration to pass multiple pieces of legislation separate from the Social Security system in the 1930's.  The Railroad Retirement Board is an independent agency of the Executive Branch of the US Government.

The current situation seems unbelievably ridiculous and a throw back to 19th century working conditions. Currently, railroad workers have no paid sick days and are reportedly terminated if they take a single leave of absence.

But, the CBS news story I highlighted earlier choose to end their story with this quote, "The 'most labor-friendly president in history' has proven that he and the Democratic Party are not the friends of labor they have touted themselves to be," Conductor Gabe Christenson said.  And numerous media pieces seem to focus on President Biden's role in requesting Congress intervene in a shocking attack on Unions and the working man and his role in averting an earlier confrontation by forcing a compromise contract which 4 of the 12 Railroad Unions rejected.

What I could see happening is a repeat of the End of Afghanistan, where the media works overtime to try and pin blame on President Biden.  And then repeatedly calling the Afghanistan pullout a disaster, fiasco, or failure.  Fortunately or sadly, I don't think this will happen because Americans don't really care about railroads or union contracts.  But, it does highlight how Democratic Administrations are often placed in untenable situations by years of neglect and subversion of the Federal Government by Republicans.

Because that is how Republicans operate at the Federal Level.  The GQP has run on a platform of Government doesn't work since at least Ronnie Raygun and when they get into office they undermine the government to proclaim the were right about government not working all along.  So, Democratic Presidents and Congresses find themselves in the thankless task of keeping the trains running by forcing the workers to accept a contract.

But, while Republicans seemingly aren't willing to be seen as halting the trains, the anti-American Republican Party is damn sure against giving workers more sick leave.  Because after the first vote to impose the contract, Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a second vote to provide more sick leave for railroad workers and 207 (out of 213) House Republicans voted no.

Republicans feel confident this vote against workers won't get the media coverage as the Corporate Media tries to push the Biden Hates Unions and working class people narrative.

sQueaker of the House Qevin McCarthy and Qrazy Qult of Qonservatives

"Bakersfield? Bakersfield! BAKERSFIELD!!!"

The Zombie Republican Party secured enough US House seats to be the majority in the 2022 elections.  Of course, Corporate Media and rightwing propaganda was working overtime before the election, predicting a 2010 60 seat blowout by Republicans, mainly, because the media's job is to get Republicans elected and make their fascist agenda palatable to the masses. However, when Americans vote, especially the Millennial Zoomer Generation, Republicans lose. Which is why you hear various rightwing assholes screaming about not letting 18-29 year olds vote anymore.

The final total of Republicans in the House is likely to be 219 or 220, including the odious Lauren Boebert. But, since no one likes, Kevin McCarthy it's not yet assured he'll be Speaker. The soulless GQP ghouls will demand the QAnon Platform of MAGA intolerance, oppression, bigotry, elimination of Civil Rights, and the enshrinement of Corporate Hegemony be accomplished immediately and McCarthy won't have any margin in the House.

Of course, the House Republicans are going to conduct all sorts of investigations. Hunter Biden will be blamed for all manner of things and Faux News is going to call for his arrest. But, really we shouldn't care. President Biden having learned appeasing and appealing to Republicans sense of duty is fool-hardy, apparently, has assembled a team to combat these frivolous attacks by Republican psychos. 

Also, remember what Republicans seek to do is to demonize Joe Biden for saying this to Hunter,

"It's Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I don't know what to do. I know you don't either, but I am here no matter what you need, no matter what you need, I love you." Joe Biden to Hunter in a voicemail from 2018.  There is no depths to Republican depravity and inhumanity.

But, besides the vindictive attacks on the Biden's, the House GQP will vote to disband the FBI, declare Afghanistan all Joe's fault, hold Dr Fauci responsible for Covid, and simply not pass any funding bills.  But, most troubling of all is how openly Republicans talk about repealing birth control and reducing women to sex slavery and second class citizen status. 

Because, understand the Republican Party has nothing to offer the American people; their entire platform is the diminution of rights, the reduction of the US standard living, the elimination of education, the retrograde movement of the United States back to an unfree Nation of Slavery and subjugation.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people; but a lot to offer Oil & Gas Companies

As President Biden, Senator Warren, and numerous other Democratic officials have noted; oil & gas companies are raking in record windfall profits on the backs of the American people.

“Oil companies. record profits today are not because of doing something new or innovative,” Biden said. “Their profits are a windfall of war, a windfall for the brutal conflict that’s ravaging Ukraine and hurting tens of millions of people around the globe.” 

Over the last two quarters, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and TotalEnergy earned over $100 billion in profits—more than they earned all of last year, and more than two-and-a-half times what they earned in the same quarters of 2021.

For one thing, long range, these fossil fuel conglomerates realize the days of the internal combustion engine on personal motor vehicles is coming to a close and are looking to rake in as much as possible for as long as possible.  To that extent Republicans eagerly aid Republicans in fucking over the American consumer. 

Because Republicans provide Oil & Gas Companies a safety value of claiming the price of gas on Biden's War on Energy.   It would be ludicrous if it wasn't so indicative of the Fascist GOP plans to shackle every American in perpetual servitude to Big Companies while retarding all growth in the renewable energy sector as they've done decades.

Of course, Republicans have zero plans to relieve the pressure at the pump and are, most likely, relying on Oil Companies lowering prices in response to Republicans easing restrictions and regulations on drilling, dumping, polluting, and transferring all the costs of Oil extraction to the people while profits are safely secured in stock buybacks and bonuses.  It's the old privatize the profits and socialize the losses maneuver so-called Capitalists are famous for...  

To say nothing of the fact that many of the Multinational Oil Companies are really just extensions of their native Governments, including such repressive terrorist sponsoring regimes like Saudi Arabia.  And the arguments Republicans are feeding their Rightwing drones basically amounts to nationalizing Oil Companies so the President can dictate the price of gas.

President Biden and the Democratic House have passed Windfall Profits Tax on Oil & Gas Companies, and every Republican in the House voted against it.  The bill will not pass the Senate because zero Republicans in the Senate will support such a bill because Republicans ally and align with rapacious Oil Companies over the American citizen, all the time.  Biden has also released oil from the strategic reserve, pressured oil companies to increase production, while the Democrats in the Senate the Gas Prices Relief Act, stopping the excise tax on gasoline for 2022.

I recall Republican Congressman Joe Barton apologizing to BP executive Tony Hayward for the dastardly Obama War on Energy after BP destroyed the Gulf of Mexico with the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe,

"I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday. I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where anytime a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong is subject to some sort of political pressure, that is again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize." Texass Dick Pic Joe Barton

But, then what is painfully obvious, and has been so for decades, is the Republican Party hates America.  They hate a diverse and free America.  Everywhere we see Republicans shackling people, removing rights, eliminating options, demonizing Americans, and seeking to return to a Nation with a tiered system of citizenship.  Because that is what Republicans want; a NeoConfederate Slave Economy with rights conferred based on race, religion, and the size of your bank account.  Poor, black, women, queer need not apply; and to achieve this Republicans will side with whatever Foreign Power necessary and harm as many people as possible.

President Biden accurately describing MAGA Republicans is a rightwing Casus Belli

The worst thing anyone can do is to accurately describe Republicans and their political positions and beliefs.  This is an unforgivable sin in America today.  Yesterday, President Biden committed this crime.  

Consequentially, conservatives on-line lost their collective minds.  Or "minds" as rightwingers live eternally in their own id and hermetically closed bubbles.  After describing the right's desire to use violence to overthrow the government and settle political differences, numerous conservatives went on-line declaring their intent to use violence to overthrow the government and assassinate President Biden.

Flabby fascist Jonathan Turdley Faux News' favorite phony liberal claimed there was concern about the Marines on duty behind President Biden.  Turley is able to invent this bullshit because he knows his fans of Twitter don't understand or don't care about the difference Marines being on duty with Service Members attending partisan political rallies off-duty in Uniform. 

Other Reactionary Magats made comparisons to Hitler, mainly because they have a paucity of historical knowledge but, also because Hitler and Nazi Germany is who they idolize.

MAGA Republicans are quasi or semi-fascists.  This is incontrovertible and demonstrable by their previous actions and current intentions.   Traitor Trump did not make them so but, found them eagerly awaiting a leader who would feed them the racist red meat they so desired.

So, when President Biden spoke to The Soul of the Nation, conservatives saw Hitler, Concentration Camps, and death squads.  They did so because Every Accusation Is A Confession (EAIAC).  Conservatives are aching for a Casus Belli (i.e. a cause of war).  

And just as they did with President Obama and Jade Helm, conservatives are simply going to invent conspiracy theories and fabricate their justification for engaging in mass murder and terrorism.

Rightwing propaganda is so successful that other rightwingers find fake tweets, amplify them, and when confronted with their falsity simply assert many people found the lie plausible.  The American Right as President Biden noted wants to use violence and not just to steal elections as they tried on January 6th.  No the MAGA Republicans want to round-up and exterminate millions of people in the United States of America.

President Biden is correct. The Soul of America is a repudiation of everything Trump

President Joe Biden is a brilliant political tactician.  By isolating and identifying the MAGA Republicans as the rot inflecting the body politic, he's giving conservatives an out.  A way to escape the stronghold Traitor Trump has on the GOP and its lickspittle leadership.

It will infuriate the likes of Major Traitor Greene but, she's exactly the one who's aided terrorists and attempted to overthrow the US Government on January 6th.

I'm certain Twitter is a flame with livid Magats.  Denouncing President Biden.  Let's Going Brandon. Wallowing in their crocodile tears about civility and cloaking themselves in the mantle of false grievances, petulantly shouting, and making threats of violence.  As President Biden stated, "good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from."

(As an aside President Biden calmly talking through the Magats hootin' and hollerin', playing a megaphone siren and the "good manners" remark vs. Traitor Trump encouraging violence demonstrates the difference.)

But, If President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had done nothing since the 2020 election but slow the rising tide of Fascism coming from the MAGA Republicans his Presidency would have been a success, but, the legislation he's helped pass with the august guidance from Senate Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker Pelosi in the slenderly controlled Senate and House make his Presidency the best of this century and the best since FDR.

President Biden spoke to the Soul of the Nation.  The GOP Soul was consumed by Trump but, for many years Republicans set the table for a Trump to arrive.  President Biden laid it out clearly,

But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country. 

And I believe it is my duty — my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful. 

And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.  They do not believe in the rule of law.  They do not recognize the will of the people. 

The hard truth as President Biden stated MAGA Republicans don't believe in America;  Conservatives want to engage in political violence.  Conservatives love lies and hate America.  Conservatives yearn to destroy the United States of America and replace it with a simulacrum; a Reactionary Apartheid State of White Supremacy, Bigotry, and Fundamentalist Terrorism.

But, President Biden does believe in America.  He's doing a damn fine job as President.  I hope my fellow Americans can help him along the way.  Voting in the 2022 elections is just the first step.  There's a lot of work that needs to be done to repair the damage Trump and his cabal of grifters, sleaze buckets, thieves, and fanatics wrought.  Let's help President Biden along the way to reclaiming the Soul of the Nation.

Biden's student loan debt forgiveness enrages Conservatives

First of all, the Student Debt Relief plan President Biden has announced is one of the greatest Executive Actions ever done to aid working families in the United States and this infuriates Republicans. 

And let's be totally clear; anyone who diminishes this, dismisses this, or calls it the "bare minimum" is a bad faith actor or a rightwing liar pretending to be a leftist.  This isn't just $10,000 in debt relief but, a whole host of additional benefits including a large amount of it directed at very poor Americans and minorities.

And if there is one thing which enrages Republicans it's when anything is done to help the American People.  The Republican Party exists solely to destroy the American Dream and crush We, the People.

So it shall come as no surprise that when President Biden announced his Student Debt Forgiveness plan, Republicans were outraged.. and shamelessly decried the loan forgiveness despite receiving millions in PPP money free.  But, conservatives don't believe the money they receive through various government handouts are fraud, waste, or abuse but, their rightful due as Real Americans and giving Republicans money is the rightful mission of the U.S. Government.

But, for decades Republicans have dined out on the Corporate Media pushing there isn't a dime's worth of difference of between the parties.  And thus, it has allowed Republicans to run on their favorite issues emotional wedge issues.

Conservatives have been doing their worst to enrage the White Working class with CRT racism, #Antifa/BLM boogeymen, and Transgender phobia in their eternal effort to keep normie white people scared and running to their Republican daddy protectors. 

Republicans have to run on racism and lies because Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.

Instead the long term Republican goal is to remove future options for the vast majority of people living in the United States; and thus creating an enormous underclass whom the 1% and the rightwing guard dogs can exploit.  Conservatives firmly believe the government exists to help them enrich themselves using government power.

So, as President Biden continues to deliver for the American people, Republicans will become more furious and more dangerous.
