Hate Thy Neighbor (American Revelation XVIII, Two.)

Master, what is the greatest commandment of the law?

Jesus said to him: Love the Lord your God with all your heart,  all your soul and all your mind. 

This is the first and greatest commandment

And the second is like unto it. Love your neighbor as yourself.

From these two hang all the laws of the prophets.

- Matthew 22: 36-40

So Trump had his big asshole rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

As far as I'm concerned if you need to be told this is wrong,  there's something wrong with you. 

If you are anything other than a MAGA bootlicker and not reacting to literally threats against your life, what the fuck??

The opening act was some asshole racist comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, who I've never heard of before Sunday night,  that called Puerto Rico a "garbage island" and apparently pissed off most of the Puerto Rican population in the process. 

Fuck him in particular.

I hope it was worth lightning your useless career on fire.

This whole thing then progressed to racist jokes about Black people, outright Trump worship,  and some other asshole I've never heard of but immediately nicknamed Howard Lick Nuts trying to turn the US government into a Doge meme joke. 

But  there was something else; One of these fucking people spent way too much time talking about how Latinos "Love to make babies."

Hold on here; Isn't that what you "Pro-Life" motherfuckers wanted??

Or is it just the white women you freaks want to turn into brood mares??

It was all a lie. 

Now it's anything but Love Thy Neighbor.

It's anything but America

Look, I used to be a republican.

There's always been a dark underworld of fascist creepy bullshit and religious fanatics, albeit one seeking a Christ-less Christianity,to this crap.

And they've always been thick as thieves with the cocaine addled frat-boy money bros.

There were always a few people like this.

But here's the thing: Out here in the world among us normal people, talking shit like that could get you beat up.

For the most part 30 years ago, freaks like this were preaching on street corners, reeking of cat piss and Wild Irish Rose.

There were a few "respectable" ones...the Ron Paul types...with closely circulated newsletters full of this crap.

There was a moderate size tranche of totally amoral scammers, but you mostly only heard about them when they got busted and went to jail.

And there were a few militia types that pretty much everybody else feared and hated. 

Back in them days, the Commie sympathizers and the Russia Stans were all the farthest of far-left and after twelve years of Reagan and Bush, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communism as a global political force, not to mention two years of Bill Clinton and "Greed is good" having become bipartisan...nobody cared.

Guess what?

After a decade of Trump, these fucking people are the Republican party now.

They chased everybody else out and took over.

Now they're trying to turn America into another Trump meme stock.

And it's less Showing Their Ass than the equivalent of mooning the whole Catholic pilgrimage to Rome and the entire Hajj all at once, with a side of preaching hellfire at Pride and showing up at a  Juneteenth event in Klan robes and turning the Cross of Christ into nothing more than a flaming lawn ornament.

And if they can't have totalitarian political power, they desire a civil war.

When is enough,  enough?

They're losing and they know it.

That's what this rally,  clearly meant to echo the 1939 MSG Nazi rally, was really about.

They're priming the edge cases and the militia nuts and the Trump moonbat motherfuckers to fight a right-wing insurgency for them when they lose.

Republicans already rejected Democracy because it wasn't self-serving enough for them.

Now they're going to reject America for not being racist enough.

We cannot continue to tolerate this bullshit.

You either believe in civilization and freedom or you don't.

You're either willing to fight or you're not.

Now is the time to be a better citizen.
