Time to get this off my chest.
Americans surely understand that the MAGA verbal violence that we see continuously online and in media leads directly to the MAGA political violence that we are seeing in Congress today. Why don't they comprehend that this will lead to more physical violence like we saw on January 6th 2021? It is coming, and many people seem to be clueless. We like to think that we are somehow unique or civilized here in the USA but the harsh truth is that the Radical Right is composed of the same tribal primitive human beings that we see destroying one another in the Middle East.
Make no mistake, today the MAGAs in Congress are effectively committing acts of political violence every day against our Constitution and our democracy by creating chaos and halting the day to day business of our Federal government. They are nothing more or less than anarchists and terrorists at this point.
They are the ultimate opportunists who will do anything to get re-elected by constituents who have been brainwashed into thinking that it is in their own self interest to destroy our system of representative government. It is hard to really comprehend the depth of evil and depravity of these "civil servants" - men and women who are perfectly willing to violate the memories of all the soldiers buried across the river in Arlington. Their vile and despicable actions defecate on the graves of every single patriot who fought and died for this country.
This descent into madness started accelerating in earnest about 50 years ago here in the United States after Nixon's resignation. At first just a verbal ideological division, eventually leading to the emergence of Trump and MAGA, it is no surprise that this led directly to the violence of January 6th 2021 in our nation's Capitol.
I think many people in America are asleep at the switch in that they do not understand that there is a natural progression from verbal to political to physical violence. Those history books are dry reading after all.
Worth repeating - it is coming. We have to be prepared for living under the fascist boot and fighting them in the streets - whether it happens in 2024 or in 2028 or in future years. Because our enemies within and without our borders will not sleep until they have destroyed our democracy.
America will not go gently into that good night of that I am certain. This is one old man that will go to my grave fighting Fascism, of that I can assure you.
