Where is the GOP taking this, "Don't hurt my white, conservative feelings" movement?

Is it possible that they know that we're in the "Comes around" stage of history, and now they're trying to squelch progress? Is it possible that they know that once CRT is truly understood by the masses that Civil litigation will begin and further erode white power and influence?

Who are they planning to silence? Just well-known authors? Or everyone that has a legitimate beef against white communities gone wild?

1. My guess is they think it's their trump card for the mid-terms.

It's vague enough to be scary without needing to offer details, it targets all non-whites as de-facto villains, and it will look good in grainy, black and white tv spots with an ominous voice behind to give it gravity. It feeds them exactly what they want-- someone instructing them who, how and what to hate.

Who needs to expensive data analysis of targeted demographics when you can run spots like this all over the country? If I were a betting man, I'd put a twenty down on a loud silence on it by the GOP as soon as the mid-terms are over.

2. I wonder how we counter this, since they are tapping into generations of white fear.

3. No idea.

They know fear is easy to exploit and use it as a platform. I think the obvious counter to it, its opposite (courage, discipline, etc) are just not easily translated into 30-spots.

Just like the caravans disappear & reappear at convenient times.

4. Everyone who is not a white, Christian male.

And I do mean literally everyone.

That is their end game.

5. They are going for a right wing one party authoritarian state.

Otherwise known as fascism.

Was this a rhetorical question?

7. White Christian patriarchy rule.

It's a simple hierarchy:
White men get to treat everyone the way they want.
White women get to treat everyone else the way they want. (minorities/LGBTQ/feminists)
Everyone else, "Sit down. shut up. & do what we tell you. And if you don't, we'll lock you up. Or kill you."


I keep remembering the young man at the Charlie Kirk event asking when can we use the guns?

“At this point, we're living under corporate and medical fascism. This is tyranny. When do we get to use the guns?” the man asked, to applause from the crowd. “No, and I’m not – that’s not a joke. I’m not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where’s the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”

I keep wondering, who did he mean? Dem politicians & candidates? Dem election & poll workers? People who have democratic bumper stickers on their cars or yard signs in their yard?

I think they'll start with the poll workers & that there's going to be massive intimidation this fall. The MAGAs are going to challenge & make unreasonable demands of poll workers. They're going to be hostile. They're going to create chaos. They're going to be mean, nasty assholes. This country needs a fucking enema.
