About the pachyderm in the parlour---

[Atticus]

ANYONE who STILL supports Donald Trump---whether actively or tacitly---is an enemy of the United States of America. They do not like our democracy and are capable of all sorts of extreme actions---including armed violence---in their campaign to eradicate it.

Their shamelessness is openly claimed as an asset: "We don't care if everyone knows we are liars and thugs in league with foreign dictators! Winning is all that counts!"

In my view, this is a fact proven repeatedly over the past several years. We ignore it or dismiss it as hyperbole at our peril.

1. They are against democracy and they don't mind saying it. We just don't want to believe it

As many wars we fought and diplomatic efforts we made to spread democracy around the world, and it has now fallen out of favor with 1/3 of our population. They think democracy is mob rule I’ve heard them say it. Don’t know what we can do about it. Maybe Covid will take care of it

2. i'm looking forward to the fallout of vax orders

on people like cops. i had a little trouble this week, and i was around a bunch of cops, and there was not a properly worn mask in sight. in chicago. blue place here. but cops...

it's such a great marker of just what rw idiots they are. pick them off, and be glad of the chance.

3. When many said support for Trump was solely based on racism, and whites' irrational fears of

the "other," I thought it was hyperbolic. Now, after watching these magamorons for years, I realize I was wrong. It is all about race for Trump supporters.

The 2020 Census revealed that people who identify as white alone declined for the first time since the Census began in 1790. The majority of Americans under 18 are now people of color, and people who identity as multiracial increased by 276% over the last decade. The US is becoming a rainbow nation, by 2045 whites will be a minority.

Racist Trumpers are scared to death. And they'll do anything to preserve their white privilege, including armed violence.
