Red Banner Republicans (Part One.)

The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering — a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons — a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting — three hundred million people all with the same face...
...The reality was decaying, dingy cities where underfed people shuffled to and fro in leaky shoes, in patched-up nineteenth-century houses that smelt always of cabbage and bad lavatories. ~George Orwell, 1984.

I've been seeing this for two days:

John Cornyn declared against Obergefell, which legalized gay marriage in 2015.

Marsha Blackburn says she's against the SCOTUS decision in Griswold vs. Connecticut, a 1965 decision which legalized Birth Control.

Yesterday, Mike Braun came out against Loving vs. Virginia, the 1967 SCOTUS decision legalizing interracial marriage at the Federal level.

All that happened yesterday.

And today, Lindsey Graham made a point of asking KBJ about her religion and how often she goes to Church, which is blatantly Unconstitutional, per the United States Constitution, ratified in 1789.

And I'm going to say it again: Are you fucking kidding me?!?!

Now, combine that with their constant attacks on both reproductive and voting rights, and it's a safe bet Republicans want for there to be a hell of a lot of people, but for those people to not have any rights. I mean, seriously? 

These Fucking People are basically coming out and saying they want both your most intimate and private decisions...and your most public ones, though the vote is shrouded in privacy...to be made for you, by the State. Aren't these the people who've spent decades telling anybody who'd listen, that our rights come from God?

Of course, it goes without saying that these idiots think that God is a Republican...and an unreasonable shit of an Old White Man at that, just like them, at that. It's one thing to believe such garbage...it's a whole different animal when they do not appear to understand the difference between their Self and God. They seek a Transcendent State...and not the kind one might get from religion...because they believe they are the State.

And these fucking people, these doddering Old White Men who've spent the last few days making utter fools of themselves...they imagine they'll be the ones making all your decisions for you. And that somehow, no one else will do the same for them.

Now, I don't know what the fuck that is, but it's sure as hell not the conservatism that I was taught.

It's more that this shitty, selfish Republican political philosophy has become like unto a religion all by itself. The Trump cult is just the least subtle expression of it.

And again, I find it very interesting indeed, that all this bullshit comes out now that a Black woman has been nominated to the Supreme Court bench.

And by "Interesting" I mean "Suspicious as fuck."

It's almost like all the bigotry, ethnic hatred, fascism, racism, sexism, etc. etc. from eras like the 1930's and the 1950's has been deliberately preserved in Amber somewhere.

Oh, no, wait, It is that. It's exactly that.

And again, why the fuck do you think Republicans love them some Vladimir Putin and love all the dying that's going on in Ukraine these days? They don't give a shit that it's the Russians who are dying and for all intents and purposes the Ukrainian Army is kicking their ass. The cruelty and death are the fucking point. It doesn't matter who's doing the dying.

And it's not just geopolitics or war that they feel that way about.

And I'm here to tell you from personal experience that, if you dig down a little bit, or just let this foul mix continue to bubble up for a little while...you'll find belief in Witchcraft and desire for Inquisitions and a drooling, rabid-insane belief in the End Times. But it gets worse...though such things still exist, increasingly this garbage isn't coming from Dominionist Christians, Theocratic Catholics or anything of the sort. 15-20 years ago, that may have been true. I don't think it is, so much anymore.

It's pretty often coming out of the mouths of relatively secular Conspiracy Theorists these days. Though it's fair to say even a lot of the Evangelicals and shit seem to have kicked Jesus Christ out of their religion and replaced Him with conspiracy woo woo bullshit.

I'm also going to remind you, that if Republicans cannot hoard all the power, rights and wealth for themselves, they're going to want to destroy America. That's why Republicans keep defending Putin. There is no other reason for that.

As Ukraine goes, so do we. 

Either you believe in freedom...in all ways and for all people...or you don't.

A Black person, or a Gay person, or a straight couple that doesn't want to have kids yet is just the current target list that Republicans have enunciated.

It's really the very concepts of freedom and self-determination that they wish to destroy. 

Homophobia, Racism, Sexism and shitty fake-religiosity is just how they make that bullshit acceptable to their voter base...but they want to take away those fucking people's freedom too. The worst part is, those people seem like they'd give it up voluntarily, if by doing so they could prevent a Black person from being a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice.

And the day will come when the "Conservatives" will revolt against America and rally to the Hammer And Sickle. 

Just as "Z" is the new "MAGA" the Hammer And Sickle will sure as hell replace the Trump flag by 2024. Think I'm wrong? I think we'll absolutely end up with Red Banner Republicans.

And I'll stand by that statement. I think we're soon to reach the point where basic American Republicanism and even Donald Trump aren't shitty enough for these motherfuckers.

You have been warned.

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
