Republicans make blanket generalizations about entire races of people being prone to violence and criminality.
Then they throw a screaming fit about being called out as racists while claiming,
"The numbers said it, not me! I'm just pointing out what the data PROVES!"
Their data is ALWAYS laughably narrow, out of context, incomplete, irrelevant, or fabricated entirely.
But even in the unlikely event that they someday might make such a claim and support it with accurate data, crime stats don't even come close to being sufficient evidence to suggest, let alone PROVE INHERENT CRIMINALITY IN AN ENTIRE RACE OF HUMAN BEINGS.
Hey I have a crazy idea.
If you're so racist that you feel compelled to enact legislation that literally bans the teaching of black history, fabricate hundreds of incidents at BLM protests that never happened, manipulate photos to make it look like BLMprotesters destroyed property that they didn't actually destroy, describe a protest event as a massive wave of violent crime when more than half of the crimes listed are shoplifting offenses that just happened to occur on the same day as the protest, hire medical experts whose primary source of income is speaking at white supremacist events to give interviews talking about how George Floyd died exclusively of a drug overdose when he was actually just strangled, devote hours and hours of airtime to how Breonna Taylor dated a drug dealer despite the fact that the drug dealer in question was brought into custody with no evidence against him and eventually released, repeatedly tweet the #JusticeForChauvin hashtag.....
...maybe just.....
.....grow some balls and take ownership of your prejudices.
Just sayin.
Not a single Republican has responded to any of the responses to their drive-by tweets they've been fire-hosing out of their asses as part of Operation GOATSE. Anyone with true strength of character would be willing to back up the things they say, except it's so much for his being said in these drive-by tweets is so patently absurd that it's not even worth responding to. They don't even have the courage to read those responses.
They used to respond, back in the earlier years of the Trump movement, but given that the basis for all the ideological Hills they chose to die on back then were so factually inaccurate that it was impossible to even post a position without getting completely dismantled, this isn't any kind of a surprise.
What is surprising is that they still choose to put forth an image of themselves as big, strong, tough, manly men. They don't even have the balls to own their prejudices. Instead, they constantly try to rationalize and support them with fabricated stories, fabricated data, statistics out of context, denial of accurate information, twisted and exaggerated versions of events, and conspiracy theories and innuendo that don't exist within light years of actual reality.
I've met some genuinely tough Hombres in my life who share the prejudices of today's Republican Party. They don't vomit up metric tons of false information in a desperate effort to justify their prejudices. If they even present any justification at all, which they rarely feel the need to do because they are ACTUALLY CONFIDENT in their beliefs, they will simply tell you it's what they've always believed based on what they were taught and what they've seen and that they feel no need to question that.
They don't care what anyone thinks about it and they don't need anyone's validation. Today's Republican party, on the other hand, is made up of soft, weak men with such a fatal lack of confidence in their own beliefs that they can't go 5 minutes without fire hosing a tidal wave of demonstrably false propaganda in support of the anemic house of cards they call an ideology.
The fact that they claim to possess a single ounce of integrity, decency, courage, or strength of character of any kind is probably the most patently absurd tenet of their entire ass-backward belief system.
Over the past month, ELECTED Republican trolling on social media has skyrocketed. They're spreading their big white Christian butt cheeks, gripping the edges of that sphincter, and BLAST-FOUNTAINING antagonistic diarrhea all over the internet in an attempt to repeat Steve Bannon's 2016 election strategy of flooding The Zone with s***. During the work day, that 9:00 to 5:00 period when most ADULTS are getting on with the business of keeping America running, ELECTED Republicans are tweeting out demonstrably false, antagonistic tweets directed at their Democrat colleagues every 10 to 15 minutes.
The desperation is palpable. It's clear that they are starting to realize that they have secured the support of everyone that they are ever going to attract in this lifetime. It's clear that they have come to the conclusion that the best they can hope to do with their messaging is to show off how committed they are to
~~<==8 TRIGGERING THE LIBS 8==>~~
in order to retain the support of those who have voted for them in the past:
Literally the worst people in the world.
The Republican effort to drive Democrats out of red States with laws like the 238 anti-lgbtq laws they passed in just the first four months of 2022 has been mostly toothless, but if they can reverse the next three Supreme Court decisions they have their eyes on, they might be able to successfully make red States unlivable for lgbtq people, black people, and Democrats all together.
Easy access to guns sin certainly exacerbating the problem and common sense gun control is definitely a worthwhile effort, but we will not eliminate the driving force behind these shootings until we address the one problem that increases the severity and impact of all others: INCOME INEQUALITY.
Republicans have intentionally inflicted a state of poverty on America that has the vast majority of us living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Staring down the barrel of a life barren of any real prospects for a better future, more and more people are driven to a state of hopeless rage that ends up being focused on innocent victims as these hopeless, broken people decide to take as many people with them as they can.
The Republican Party is directly responsible for ALL of the most influential drivers of mass shootings, especially income inequality.
Just as a courtesy to you gun folks, I'm going to expllain why no one seeks or listens to what you have to say about guns and gun control anymore.
Yes, this is the GQP's worst crime. Ever.
Keeping people poor KILLS them. It takes years off their lives and degrades the life they have left.
The GQP and corporate America have been collaborating on an effort to make sure most Americans are paid as little as possible.
Since the year 2000, cost of living in America has increased by approximately 400%. Yet, starting pay rates for every position below the corporate upper management level have only increased by about 8%.
WHY DO THEY DO THIS?
- in exchange for financial compensation from corporate lobbyists
- to make it as easy as possible to manipulate people by by artificially inflating the cost of living and then falsely blaming Democrats for their financial difficulties to win elections
- to give themselves the perfect justification for voting down or filibustering any new spending bills on social programs and slashing, burning and eliminating all existing social programs that they can in order to keep as much tax revenue as possible for themselves, their projects, and their interests.... all they have to do it is convince voters that any and all government spending will increase the tax burden on regular people
HOW DO THEY DO THIS?
- by voting down or filibustering any and every piece of legislation that would regulate the way any aspect of a business is run, especially legislation related to employee compensation and legislation that would ban all of the scummy, evil, reprehensible union-busting practices companies have used over the past half-century.
- by running smear campaigns, characterizing every unionized business as a mafia front and then using that as a justification to constantly investigate, harass, audit, and find any justification, no matter how tenuous or outright fabricated, to shut down and disband labor unions.....
....so that we have NO REGULATORY PROTECTION and NO RECOURSE to negotiate for fair pay and have to simply settle for the scraps they toss on the floor for us.
That's MAGA for you:
Make
Americans
Go-Broke
Always
Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Taylor Green shoved a nauseating amount of discussion of the particulars of Christianity into judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings for two reasons. They didn't think that they would be able to directly violate the first amendment by denying her the seat based on her religious beliefs, but they decided to give it a try. But what they were primarily trying to do was normalize religious influence on government processes and appointments. Well, mainly Lindsey Graham was trying to do that. All Marjorie Taylor Greene knew was that her handlers told her to go on a rant about Adam's Rib and it would trigger the libs. She doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, so there would have been no point in trying to explain the nuances the plan to her.
What do you call it when Republicans tweet the same thing every single day, tweet absolute Fabrications, and obsessively go after people for their age, race, gender identity, and sexual orientation?
I call it a surrender. A confession. An admission that they have nothing to offer.
Except, of course, hate, lies, and pettiness.
But I'll let them tell you that themselves.
