Trumpism
Trump invited the press to his club in New Jersey for a “news conference”. He had a podium and flags set up outside next to the colonial style pillars at the front of the entrance to his private club in New Jersey to make it look like the White House. Newsmax was there. Fox cut away when people started asking questions about January 6. Trump answered by saying what about Antifa and who killed Ashli Babbitt? The Hitler loving former president actually said, “If you say it long enough, hard enough, often enough, people will start to believe it.”
Democratic Congressman Andy Kim from New Jersey has donated the suit he was wearing on the day of the insurrection to the Smithsonian. He was photographed in it while humbly sweeping the mess up inside the Capitol after the rioters left. He says the suit is a reminder of the immigrant values he grew up with.
Whaddayaknow, another domestic terrorist attack that we never learned about in school and the Republicans don’t want us to know about………..Today is the anniversary of the Hamburg massacre, where white supremacists killed and robbed freed slaves who were building their own community in 1876 in Hamburg, South Carolina. They had formed their own militia which they were legally allowed to do. While they were practicing their drills in the road, white people told them to move so they could get by. They had plenty of room to get through but they insisted that they get off of the road. The black militia men refused. The white people didn’t want the black people to have guns so they went home and got their own guns and returned to declare war on Hamburg. A battle ensued and the group of about 40 black militia men put up a good fight even though they were out numbered 2.5 to 1. The white people brought a cannon and fired it at the black people, killing their leader and the marshal of their town, then they captured and executed 5 members of the black militia to send a message to the rest of the community — try this again and we’ll kill you all. A big monument was erected at the battle site commemorating the only white man who died. According to the inscription on the giant phallic marker, he gladly gave up his life to protect the freedoms for his children. No monuments were erected for the 6 black men who were killed. The leader of the white domestic terrorist group, Wade Hampton, a plantation owner and an ex-confederate general, went on to become the governor of South Carolina where he ended reconstruction. After that he moved on to the US Senate. Lindsey Graham holds that seat now.
Republicans are spinning the racist domestic terrorist attacks against black communities that white people are just learning about as the “Democrats did it.” Back then the Republicans were the Democrats and the Democrats were the Republicans. They switched when African Americans voted for FDR in 1932 because his proposed “New Deal” would do way more for them during the Great Depression than Herbert Hoover who catered to the filthy rich, plus the Republicans weren’t doing anything to advance their civil rights. White southerners then formed their own political party known as the Dixiecrats, which was absorbed by today’s Republican Party after Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act.
The GOP is rapidly being taken over by insane radicals today. True conservatives are going to have to form their own political party like the Dixiecrats did if they want to stay relevant.
Republicans and QAnon weirdos are still auditing the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Arizona. The Secretary of State has had enough and has asked the state Attorney General to conduct a criminal investigation into Trump’s role in all of this. The AG said sorry, no can do. He’s running for governor and this is a conflict of interest. So Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego has asked AG Merrick Garland to look into it.
Meanwhile in Pennsylvania, Republican state senator Doug Mastriano is leading the charge to do the exact same thing there as they’re doing in Maricopa County.
A phone video leaked of Republican Congressman Chip Roy admitting to the Republicans’ plan to obstruct and create chaos for the next 18 months so Congress can’t get anything done until they take power again and can force their own radical right, white supremacist agenda. They have no desire to fix any of America’s huge, existential problems or protect democracy. None. While they stall and obstruct on the inside of government, Republicans on the outside of government are successfully destroying voting rights so Democrats can’t vote.
Two 10 year olds were shot and killed in the past couple of days. A dad in Texas left a loaded gun in his car where his son found it and accidentally shot himself in the face. The dad got one year of probation because Texas cares more about guns and gun owners than they do about kids. In New Jersey, a girl was shot in a drive by shooting. The family has requested that memorial donations go to organizations focused on preventing gun violence.
According to Michael Bender’s new book, when Trump went to Europe to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the end of WWI, he told his then chief of staff, John Kelly that “Hitler did a lot of good stuff.” John Kelly told him he was wrong and suggested he never say anything like that out loud while they were still in Europe. As a retired general and the father of a son who died in the war in Afghanistan, he should have called a press conference as soon as possible to alert the country and the world that the president of the United States had praised Hitler. Trump was interviewed over 30 years ago where he admitted to keeping a copy of Hitler’s speeches in his bed stand. He’s a Nazi. Everybody who still supports him is a Nazi too. The Nazis have taken over the Republican party. It’s called Trumpism.
