Happy 4th of July to everyone, including the haters and the losers! - Traitor Trump
I take very little solace in having been right about the Republican Plan to destroy the United States of America and replace it with a NeoConfederate fundamentalist apartheid state.
It was famously reported that conservatives when shown the Paul Ryan budget did not believe it could be true since it was so heartless and literally was a granny-starving set of policies. It just couldn't be true. Conservatives don't believe a 2nd Trump administration will harm them, famously conservatives only complaint of the first Trump term was he "wasn't hurting the people he should be hurting". It's grimly ironic that Republican policies have been killing conservatives (especially white rural men) and they cling more tightly than ever to their Republican malefactors. But, it's wrong-headed to believe conservatives have been duped by their Republican representatives. Conservatives of all stripes want this.
The Rich want no taxes, no regulations, and no constraints from the Federal government for their rapacious accumulation of wealth and power. White men and women want to be able to spit on a N-word, piss on a homeless person, smack a Queer, threaten to murder any journalist who says something mean about Traitor Trump, and order an immigrant around like a slave. The proliferation of so-called "Karen Videos" demonstrates what conservatives want America to be. And Fundamental Fascists want the power to act as the Taliban or Iranian Morality Police.
Conservatives believe America is a rigid hierarchy and must be returned to that status. That's what MAGA means a Nation built upon the twin towers of White Power and Evangelical Tyranny.

Republicans hate America. Republicans hate you. Republicans are coming for it all; the separation of Church and State, No-Fault divorce, birth control, Education, freedom of association, rights to privacy. All of these things and more will be gone in the Republican MAGA Nation; you will do as they say, you will think as they command, you will acquiesce, you will be silent, you will be deferential and if you do not, then Republicans have paramilitary domestic terrorists and, soon, the Apparatus of Law Enforcement and the Awesome Power of the State to eliminate you.
The cries of Weaponization of the Department of Justice and the Two-Tiered system are ardent declarations of exactly how Republicans plan to enforce their steady transformation of the United States of America into a Theocratic White Power simulacrum of a Democratic Republic. And those who do not go along with the destruction of the United States will be murdered,
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.- Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation.

Many things required cleaning up after the January 6th Insurrection; from the broken glass in the Rotunda, to the shit-smeared walls throughout the hallways and offices, to the shattered trust in the peaceful transition of power in the World's foremost Democracy.
But, nothing required more work than for Republicans & Rightwingers to white-wash the video footage and images the American people saw that day with their own eyes.
January 6th was an Inflection Point. The Republican Party had been steadily descending towards Authoritarianism and the denial of democracy and the repudiation of the Democratic Republic for decades with accelerating features from 2001-2021, but after the initial shock of that day wore off, Republicans fully embraced full-blown Fascism.
A Kill/Capture team of rightwing domestic terrorists uses the confusion to enter the Capitol in order to execute Democratic Congress members
There is no coming back from this for Republicans. They have decided to Rule or Ruin. But, to that end they still need to do Revisionist History and catapult the propaganda about January 6th, as they steadily erode confidence in the United States of America and set about conducting their next attempt to Overthrow the Government and replace it with a NeoConfederate style of governance dominated by fundamentalist white supremacy and predicated on the propositions of oppression, intolerance, and adulation of the rich.
To that end; Squeaker Kevin McCarthy gave video surveillance footage to Chief Propagandist Tucker Carlson to do what he does; craft a web of lies and convince conservatives the true villains of January 6th were not that raucous mob of criminals who, it should never be forgotten, did successfully delay the certification of the 2020 election but, those who investigated the crimes and underlying motivations of the Trump White House and Republicans and Rightwing provocateurs who set the events in motion.
Remember except for a few strokes of luck and some individually brave actions, there would have been numerous dead Democratic Congressmen and Senators in the Capitol on that day. And make no mistake that was the plan by the Trump White House.
But, while several Republican Senators have tepidly pushed back against Carlson's Revisionist History right now, the arc of history is set. Arch Traitors in the GOP will never stop pushing lies around the attempted TrumPutsch and Auto-Golpe De'Estado planned and executed by the Trump White House and multiple members of the Republican Party inside and out the Federal Government. Thus, Republicans & Rightwingers must and will completely support the Spirit of January 6th and the Lies of a Rigged and Stolen 2020 Election while castigating a few individuals as bad apples.
By the end of the decade Republicans will have convinced themselves and their mob of domestic terrorists that Jan6th stands with July 4th as the Days of Independence.
Republicans have known for a long time when more people vote they lose. So, Republicans decided long ago less people deserve to vote. Here in Illinois, Downstate Republican racist Mike Bost is suing in Federal Court to challenge the 2015 Illinois vote-by-mail law, which allows for ballots received 14 days after Election Day to be counted if they are post-marked on or before the final day of voting. Ballots lacking a postmark can still be counted if the voter dated and signed the ballot before Election Day.
Why do you think the Republican Party seeks to destroy the US Postal Service? And hey sure Mike Bost of Illinois' lawsuit would disenfranchise military members serving overseas but, then Republicans have always treated the military as disposable RISK tokens to be used and abused in the eternal rightwing quest for power.
In Nevada this summer, Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin pressured officials in Otero CountyCowboys for Trump Couy Griffin pressured officials in Otero County, to eliminate election ballot boxes and voting machines alleging this could be used for Fraud. The use of ballot boxes and voting machines is prescribed by Nevada State Law. But, voting laws don't matter to Republicans because know the more people who vote the more they lose. These are just two examples but they all stem from the same rotten well-spring.
As I watched election night 2020 and President Biden's election victory became clear, I waited up to hear MSNBC or CNN or even FTFNYT call the election yet... they did not... Even after Faux News called Arizona for President Biden, and it was an absolute certainty and in Kellyanne Conway's words a "Landslide." "Blowout." "Historic.", the Corporate Media dithered. For days. Into that void, Trump and his cadre of Rightwing villains and criminals crafted the Big Lie, the one lie to rule them all.
“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.” Of course, it was easy to see Violence coming after Trump's decisive defeat in 2020. We had rightwing violence throughout 2020. Then the Clown Car Coup d'etat attempt of January 6th. Now more Violence to Follow
I guarantee you that by the end of the decade January 6th will be Second Independence Day.
All across the Country, Republicans are running on a platform of The Big Lie. But, worse than that Republicans are implying and sometimes explicitly saying they will not abide by elections and will regard their defeats as ipso facto Fraudulent.
Now, election denialists are rampant throughout the Republican Party; many are running for high level office. Common wisdom is Republicans, being the party out of power during a mid-term election will take over Congress. So, as the election results roll-in and the results are more favorable to the Democrats than thought what will the Republicans do? Why they will deny they lost and declare themselves the Real Victors. So... what's going to happen when these Republican losers descend upon Washington DC and declare themselves the Real Congressmen? What is going to happen when Republicans demand an injunction declaring votes are causing irreparable harm to them? What happens when Republicans openly declare that only they are Legitimate Government?
Well, the Corporate Media is fascism curious so don't expect them to help. And The Unconstitutional Sheriff's of America are yearning to insert themselves into election, seize Voting Machines, arrest "suspicious" voters, and exert their absolute power in their respective counties to declare who is the rightful member of Congress. And rightwingers across America are waiting for Fvcker Carlson to declare Democratic victories in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin illegitimate so they can emulate the Kidnapping plots of Governor Wittmer or the assassination attempts of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Fvcker Carlson has already preemptively declared Kari Lake's defeat in Arizona and Mehmet Oz's defeat in Pennsylvania fraudulent.
So... what can we expect? Well, there is still time to vote before Tuesday, November 8th. Please do so. It should be obvious Republicans will spend their time seeking ways to limit voting, to restrict access to voting facilities, to undermining peoples franchise. Republicans have no intention of governing. And they haven't for a long time. Besides disenfranchising American voters, Republicans other goals are to destroy public education, oppress minority groups, outlaw the existence of Trans persons, and led by Committee Chairwoman Major Traitor Greene investigate any corporation who stopped donating money to Republicans afterSecond Independence Day while eliminating all regulations and restraints on the rapacious capitalist corporations who toe-the-lie and aid the Republicans in their agenda of oppression and intolerance.
More Violence to Come.
So vote like your life depends upon it... and then Get Ready to fight for your lives...because Republicans and Rightwingers are coming for them.
