The Republican Party Desperately Needs an Old Fashioned Exorcism

By Desi Cortez Columnist

The fact that seventy-four million people witnessed four years of overt racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, attacks on immigrants, corruption, and incompetence, but nevertheless voted for it to continue, indicates how deeply embedded the ideology of white supremacy is.

“What we got here is… a failure to communicate.” Today, Republicans speak in a form of genuine, authentic, frontier gibberish, to mask and camouflage their intolerable medieval opinions and perspectives.

He, whose name shall not ever be spoken again… the last President, #45, who just lost the 2020 election – the fanatics, extremist and zealots who comprise his cult, tribe, clan, gang – pick one, any which one (they all are applicable) who showed up in Orlando last weekend at the annual political The Republican Party Desperately Needs an Old-Fashioned “Exorcism” conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials, which cast itself as “CPAC,” (Conservative Political Action Conference) the largest gathering of grassroots conservatives, and a direct reflection of “who” and “what” the Republican Party is… not a one had the stones to tell the truth, the burning bush truth.

For example, when they cry and complain about the 2020 Presidential election being “the big lie,” or “the big steal,” about the election being “rigged” and “stolen,” and about people voting “illegally,” what they truly mean, behind closed sports bar and gun range doors is – it’s not that people voted illegally, it’s the point that Americans of color voted at all.

Duh…!!!

C’mon y’all. I can’t be the only one who can read between the lines, the only one who can decipher Red-necklish, decode “big” and “little” White lies – really, seriously? In their small, simple minds, the only way to “fix” the elections is to turn back the hands of time and progress to the good ole’ days when Blacks weren’t allowed to vote.

Wake up Negroes ! This “cult” seeks to rip that clock off the wall.

It’s undeniable and indisputable, according to the highest courts in the land, that Joe Bided won, fair n’ square. These Neo-confederates simply refuse to admit it. They are providing their twisted reason with a cause. Check it, providing their long lost cause with a reason, because the real reason is they desire “White Power” via “White Supremacy.” So desperately they’re willing, no, more than willing as we can see – to lie, to cheat, to intimidate, to whine, complain, cry… to strong-arm the nation into submission.

If it feels like we’re dealing with full-grown, spoiled-ass, rotten adolescent brats who, like Charlottesville slaughterer Dylan Roof and the Kenosha killer Kyle Rottenhouse, or the cops who murdered George Floyd are willing to do just about anything to get their way – well my friend, it’s because that’s exactly who we are confronted with – white men, drunk with power, gone mad.

It’s not about faulty, hacked voting machines or individual actors, it’s the mere fact that Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays and independent-minded White women voted, and voted for Biden, who the “Right” regards as a “Negro sympathizer” – a supporter, advocate, and ally of Black people, who offered “aid and comfort to the enemy” – President Obama, and because the “Right” in this country is just the opposite – they are adversaries, foes and enemies of civil, economic and human rights on all levels.

Good lord, Mary – sweet mother of baby Jesus – if this type of denying a people their full citizenship, if not human-hood isn’t “sinful” and “evil” – then what is? What is Evil? Who is wicked? What is cruel? If what we are witnessing isn’t overt and subtle signs of evil, sinister and diabolical American racism – then wow – slap my behind, call me “Boy” and rub my head…

Who locked brown babies in cages down on the Rio Grande? “Who” allowed the Pandemic to go unchecked? “Who” attacked the White House on January 6th and tried to overthrow Democracy and replace it with a White Supremacist dictator. “Who” was the unprepared, recklessly short-sighted leadership-at-the-helm when Texas fell to Jack Frost and Mother Nature.

For your answer, look no further, and dig no deeper than “he, whose name shall not ever be spoken again” and his small-hand crafted (in his very own image) Republican Party. Needless to say, the Republican Party desperately needs an old fashion Exorcism – a purging of the human elements – the “who” and “what” which has demonstrated itself to be mean-spirited, cold-blooded, if not honestly soulless beings who’ve no concept of basic humanity.

The fact he’s the first President in history to try to kill his vice president is…fascinating, you’ll have to admit.

Ponder this: He, whose name shall not ever be spoken again, and both his sons, would have been men who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic, and we all know it, and doesn’t that say so much about his lack of character, which his base apparently dismisses or condones?

One thing I do know, as the last four years have proven. Not all Republicans are racist, but certainly, all racists are Republicans or vote Republican.

The fact that seventy-four million people witnessed four years of overt racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, attacks on immigrants, corruption, and incompetence, but nevertheless voted for it to continue, indicates how deeply embedded the ideology of white supremacy is. For four years, the head of government returned whiteness to its rightful exalted place of prominence, fighting off the frightening prospect of white people becoming a numerical minority.

Progress? What progress: gilded missiles and misguided minds…

One thing I do know, as the last four years have proven is that not all Republicans are racist, but certainly, all racists are Republicans or vote Republican. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, The Three Percenters, Texas Freedom Force, anyone?

Progress. Is it really progress if a cannibalistic barbarian uses a knife n’ fork?

Harikari – the practice used voluntarily by Samurai to die with honor, or as a form of capital punishment for Samurai who had committed serious offenses such as rape, robbery, corruption, unprovoked murder or treason, because they had brought shame to themselves… to restore honor for themselves or for their families.

He, whose name shall not ever be spoken again, easily committed all those crimes.

A man or woman with a soul, with a heart, with a brain, with a backbone, and with a conscience might not be able to “live with themselves” after leveling the type of pain and suffering in which this man had a role, a significant role, in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people who succumbed to the Coronavirus.

If this were a “real” man, a man cut from some superior cloth, I’d suggest he would commit Harakiri – understanding, grasping, and accepting he has unquestionably sat at the helm as these atrocities played out – as we now discover there was no plan for the vaccine to be nationally distributed – that is malpractice, malfeasance, and dereliction of Presidential duties. It’s genocide. This trifling clown deliberately and strategically, if not recklessly and ignorantly placed millions of Americans in harm’s way – and his 50 million strong yet weak “base” disregards this because he is their “Great White Hope,” their warrior for White Supremacy.
