Recently former President Donald Trump
shared a menacing new video on his Truth Social
account last week and said: “If you f*** around
with us if you do something bad to us, we are
going to do things to you that have never been
done before.”
The sinister propaganda ad, handcrafted
by MAGA.com, features audio of the former
President’s appearance on the late Rush
Limbaugh’s radio show three years ago. During
that appearance, Trump was discussing Iran.
Today, interestingly, with Trump facing another
federal indictment over his attempts to
overthrow the US government and the will of the
people, the audio has been deliberately
repurposed.
The brief video features a close-up,
black & white image of Mr. Trump’s face, set
to threatening, menacing music and Mr Trump
selling “wolf tickets.” Does anybody remember
those chimpanzees and orangutans on 1970s
Saturday morning kid’s shows,Lancelot
Link Secret Chimp?
Peter
Navarro, a White House trade hustler in Trump’s
“syndication,” has warned that a second civil
war will break out in the U.S. because of the
Democratic Party’s alleged targeting of the
former president.
“The
Democrat activists and strategists now
driving this nation towards a second civil
war have neither justice nor righteousness
on their side,” Navarro added. “My strong
admonition to these Democrats—as I appeal to
the wiser in your party—is this: Back this
anti-democratic truck up before it runs over
you.”
“Do
you not understand that the longer you
engage in your assaults on American families
and values, the more likely a new civil war
becomes? And do you not understand that the
perverse precedents you are creating through
your weaponized bureaucracies and woke
attacks will come back to haunt you as soon
as Republicans take back Trump’s America
from your cold woke hands.”
It’s so pitiful watching “these people”
playing both sides of their wooden nickel.
Victims of reverse racism this morning, enraged
half-insane renegade cop tonight.
Something
horrifically wicked this way comes…
King, Trump, and his “Make America White
Again” cult, composed mostly of white men, often
view themselves as innocent victims of the
“uppity” civil rights movement of the 1950s and
60s, and the corresponding advancement of other
groups in society. These white men believe
themselves to be heroic Marvel comic book
protagonists with God-given wings and an AK15 -
guarding themselves against those perceived as
“the left” who seek to oppress them. They
conceive of themselves as victims, powerless
bystanders, unable to stop the upheaval of their
lofty place in society, absolved of any guilt or
blame.
They stand today channeling Great White
Hopes: John Wayne,
Clint Eastwood, Stallone and Chuck Norris,
Charles Bronson…and Viking War Lord Jesus.
It’s just ridiculous and all so White
Trash trifling.
It is not only infuriating but also
deeply offensive, that Ron DeSantis, the leader of “Red” Florida, and his
Confederate comrades have mandated that public
schools in the state disseminate inaccurate
information/MAGA agenda goals, perpetuating
false narratives about the realities of slavery,
Jim Crow, Black Codes, Separate & Unequal
eras.
Specifically: Black people were somehow
“better-off” for having been incarcerated for
centuries and forced to work as slaves,
subjected to physical and mental abuse… in order
to have access to a vocational trade.
What about the slaves from 1619 until
1865 who were never free to practice and profit
from their “crafts?!”
Black people’s enslavement was far more
than just forcibly attending a vocational and
technical school “for life,” but the cruel and
inhumane systems of oppression that continue to
define them and their future. It is important to
recognize that this history of injustice has
nothing to do with a romanticized version of
American life. The history of the United States
includes centuries of the enslavement of
African-Americans, certainly not akin to
attending a trade school!
Can we call
them “slavery deniers?!”
They’ve even suggested Jewish folks in
Hitler’s hideous houses of horror, WWII Concentration
Camps, learned how to make themselves
“useful.”
This crap is abhorrent and yet another
example of adding “insult to injury” to the
Nightmare people of color have endured at the
hand of White folks. I’m not going to waste the
time nor “E-nk” shredding such gibberish. They
can’t whitewash a history we all know, the whole
world knows.
The infamous events of January 6th, when
members of “Make America White Again” stormed
the Capitol, are emblematic of a state of denial
in which many Euro-Americans have been when it
comes to examining the truth about our nation’s
highly violent past. It’s the same state of
denial that enabled people to ignore the
horrific images of George Floyd, with the Gestapo-like officer’s sinister smirk….
What we also understand the “happy
feeling” Grinch-like smirk that image brings to
angry White supremacist facesis a disrespectful and spiteful insult.
It seems they love pissing off… everybody. Mean-spirited, nasty, spiteful,
unpleasant, unkind, angry, and with malice in
their stone-cold hearts is their historical
calling card.
Let’s just roll
through European-American’s contrived, if not
damn near comical version of American history:
This rendition of American history is, at best,
misguided, or at worse, outright preposterous:
Upon discovering that this land
of enchantment belonged to no one but the red
Red-Skinned savages, who were engaged in endless
tribal conflict, squandering the natural
resources, White folks merely stepped-up and did
what an invading force of barbarians would do.
White men virtually annihilated them - a
300-year-long, bloody genocide.
Then later, as the European and “New
World” sailors were sailing past the coast of
Africa, Tribal Chiefs hailed down their ships
and demanded that they enter into agreements to
trade for African slaves. The sailors were
reluctant to do so, yet had no choice in the
matter, as they were essentially forced to make
purchases of the African people. While the
sailors felt terrible about this ordeal, they
believed they were supposedly doing the slaves a
favor, as they assumed they would be saving them
from a hard life of constant battle for
sustenance. Thus, the Americans saw themselves
as performing an altruistic act in buying
African slaves.
And, as Florida is telling us via their
backward legislation, teaching us useful “life
skills.”
In Trump’s America,
they foolishly claim to have negotiated the
entirety of western North America from the
French and Mexican empires. This reflects an
imperialistic attitude of Manifest
Destiny –
simply seizing the land for themselves,
despite having no rights or authority to do
so.
For over three and a half centuries, the
patriarchal culture of the WASP empire kept its
human property, women, in a subjugated state, deprived of
access to education and employment
opportunities, having no money or power of their
own. They were viewed as sexual objects,
existing solely to provide pleasure to their
husbands in the bedroom and as servants in the
kitchen. In other words, they were denied any
autonomy and were forced to live their lives
under the oppressive and antiquated standards of
the time.
Oppression,
repression, genocide, exploitation, slavery,
and barbarity - the elements that built America.
Johnny Reb and other proud Americans
often wear the flag on their lapels and wave it
in parades, with little thought as to what the
symbol has stood for throughout history. There
are times when the flag has been raised over
disrespectful and heinous events, such as during
WWII when Japanese Americans were rounded up and
put in internment camps and when the St.
Louis ship, full of Jewish refugees, was denied entry to the United
States as a result of the anti-immigrant
sentiment long held by much of the nation’s
population at the time. Additionally, the United
States used the same flag to drop atomic bombs
on two Japanese cities in order to end the war,
resulting in countless innocent lives lost.
These events, among many others, prove that the
flag of the United States of America, popularly
referred to as “Old Glory,” has been associated
with some actions that many in the present find
morally reprehensible.
Today that same heartless White supremacy
mentality, embodied in Texas
Governor Greg Abbott, has “mined” the Rio Grande with
razor-barbed war to turn round the pregnant
South Americans heeding Lady Liberty’s call. To
make a pathetic point, send a merciless message.
This cruel action is used to make a political
statement, and it begs the question, what will
they do next? Will they release piranhas or
alligators into the river?
It’s all about the barbarity,
baby….!
Something
horrifically wicked this way comes…
American History from 1609 to the 1950s
is often romanticized as the “good old days.” It
was expected that women and people-of-color
would eternally remain in a subordinate position
to White men. This is a notion that is often
fondly remembered and nostalgically yearned for.
A time idealized by highly advantaged white men,
as they fondly remember the privileged past
which favored them.
There’s a historical national theme, yes?
“I am not my bro’s keeper.” “Women and children
are on their own.” “I got mine; you get yours.”
“Survival of the fittest.” And surely their late
1861 racist Confederacy is a still living,
heartfelt mindset - spread across these divided
states, from sea to shining sea.
