This past week Tennessee took the headlines by expelling two members, both of whom were black, for the \u2018crime\u2019 of protesting gun violence. A third member, who was white and thus incapable of committing a crime, was not expelled. This is the same \u2018legislative body\u2019 that previously tolerated the presence of pedophiles, rapists, and one member who was caught urinating on the seats of other members. That must be the \u2018proper decorum\u2019 that black representatives can\u2019t uphold. In the past month, a member suggested that capital punishment include lynching. Lynching not as a capital crime, but as a state-sanctioned form of punishment.<\/p>\n
Slappy Thomas was busted for covering up twenty years of lavish gifts and trips from a billionaire, aptly named Crow, who happens to be a Hitler admirer. Slappy\u2019s defence was they was just good friends, and they had been doing this for years. Turned out Slappy\u2019s cozened junkets were first noticed some twenty years ago, and he dealt with the potential scandal then by simply ceasing to file the legally-required reports. The liberal media had more important things to report on, like Obama wearing a tan suit and putting Dijon mustard on his hot dogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust good friends.\u201d Because Hitler admirers always like to pal around with Negroes who are married to white women, right? Slappy is exactly what Hitler had in mind when he talked about the Master Race, you know.<\/p>\n
The Trump indictment showed his waning influence and the growing realization on the far right that maybe they don\u2019t speak for most Americans. Armpit Maggie turned up at the New York City demonstration, expecting to be the new leader for a sea of people outraged at the crucifixion of Trump. What she got was the usual small collection of nuts and weirdos, a motley collection dwarfed by large numbers of chanting, whistle-blowing counter-demonstrators. She retreated, in obvious confusion, within minutes.<\/p>\n
The anti-freedom zealots had another wish granted by Trump when a religiously insane judge, one Matthew Kacsmaryk, ruled that mifepristone, a pill used in over half of all abortions in the US for decades, be taken off the shelved because when the FDA approved it over twenty years earlier, they didn\u2019t factor in a right wing lunacy that women would be destroyed by the resulting grief and guilt of aborting that poor little baby. The blob squad simultaneously believe that most women will abort the day before the baby is due just on a whim, and never look back.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the sort of demented thinking that demonstrates why religious zealots should never be allowed within a thousand miles of anything approaching actual authority over the lives of others.<\/p>\n
The hate campaign against the LGBTQ community and, for gawd knows what reason, drag queens continues unabated. There are calls not only to cut them off from medical coverage and school activities, but to outlaw them altogether. Let\u2019s see, I bet if we asked Thomas\u2019 buddy Crow about that, he would be quick to mention the Enabling Acts, or the Nuremberg polices. But that was different: they were after Jews and Commies then, not fags and Mexicans. Totally different. Why, when the camps are made, they\u2019ll use new and improved Zyclon C. Nothing at all like the Nazis. What\u2019s more, they have God\u2019s approval for all this. They\u2019ll prove it by stamping \u201cGot Mit Uns\u201d on all their rifles and army belt buckles. Just fags and Mexicans. Not real people. Oh, and liberals Muslims Unionists the disabled Socialists pot smokers and Joos. But no real people.<\/p>\n
The Republicans who have realized that their policies are unpopular (or, if you prefer, almost universally hated and despised) are dealing with it by removing those pesky voters from the equation. The GOP have been fighting for years to gut the Voting Rights Act (and finally succeeded) and gerrymander (see Wisconsin and Pennsylvania for details. And Florida. And Michigan. And Missouri…and on and on.) They are dealing with state referendums to protect abortion and other rights by making it difficult to impossible to get such referendums on the ballot.<\/p>\n
In Wisconsin, a heavily contested election for the Supreme Count resulted in a big win for the candidate not underwritten by the National Association of Zealots and Ideologues. Janet Protasiewicz beat Dan Kelly by a whopping ten points. However, in an obscure state legislative race, the Republican won by 1.7% of the vote, giving the heavily gerrymandered body a supermajority. Republicans promptly vowed to impeach and remove Protasiewicz from office, presumably on the day she takes office, because you can\u2019t have women running around aborting left and right and then killing themselves because of the shame. Tain\u2019t Christian or something.<\/p>\n
Right now, similar moves by authoritarians in France and Israel have resulted in weeks-long mass demonstrations and threats to topple the regimes. I can only hope the same thing would happen in Wisconsin if the state lege tried this particular stunt.<\/p>\n
If it did, it might help prevent a similar convulsion nationwide. Americans won\u2019t give up their freedoms and rights to zealots and ideologues without a fight.<\/p>\n
The reason we\u2019re seeing such blatant and horrific extremism is the Republicans know this is their last chance. If they can\u2019t steal the country now, they may have to wait another 100 years for such an opportunity to come along.<\/p>\n
They are desperate. They are cornered. They are at their most dangerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
