A masterly summing up of the El Paso terrorist attack in only four sentences...

3. Yes. But DELIBERATE. Fanning terror and hate is a standard fascistic tactic,

one of many the Republican leadership and the other RW power blocs they front for, including extremists among the religious right, are utilizing.

Faced with increasing inability to win national elections, we thought the Republican Party would be forced to embrace female and minority conservatives.

Instead, the Republican Party has morphed into a hard-right, white, male-dominated authoritarian party, funded by RW billionaires for whom democracy also has become an existential threat and powered by the worst of social-cultural-religious conservative passions. They must win now, because if they don't they will fall hard.

And RW violence against the rest is intrinsic to fascism and a major component of fascistic methods of breaking and taking over stable, established societies.

I now believe the Republican leadership must have been opposing gun control for at least the past decade or more with the specific intent of encouraging and enabling greater RW violence against the existing order.
