Another day.
More multiple examples of how the former Party of Lincoln has gone to the Dark-Sewer Side of American Politics.
First, we have MAGA enabling-White Nationalist Loving-Probable January 6 Domestic Terrorist Attack Co-Organizer Paul No One in My Family Will Vote for Me Gosar suggesting, at a farcical event masquerading as a hearing honoring accused and convicted January 6 attackers (traitors to the country) headed by Matt how old is she Gatez, that a bounty should be placed on any undercover law enforcement officer or Antifa member masqueraing as a Trump loyalist on the Insurrection at the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Saying “we should turn the tide,” the Arizona Congressional Ninth District Representative, clearly ill (perhaps mentally) with maybe Parkinsons disease, suggests “maybe a bounty” to look on the tapes for undercover officers and Antifa individuals.
As the person making the social media, Brian Tyler Cohen, post said: “This is insane.”
Then there is Arizona Resident Hitler Youth Wannabe, Trump and Conspiracy Theory Mouth Piece, and Turning Points Leader Charlie Kirk who apparently decided to use Juneteenth as an opportunity to state that the new holiday is a conspiracy to denigrate white people and the importance of Independence Day.
Among the comments made by Kirk and reported by Raw Story with the link to the video at the bottom of the article:
“So it’s Juneteenth. Very few people are willing to actually call this out.” It’s about a certain skin color now gets their own summertime celebration. It is now become a racial complaining day. Now we have a full day to be able to smear and slander white America.”
“And remember, BLM stands for burn, loot, and murder. Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday is a nationalized race hustle. Why do Blacks need their own national independence day? We used to have a red, white, and blue independence day on July 4th. Now, we have one based on the melanin content of your skin.”
“These people will not be stopped unless you say ‘no’ more. Appeasement does not work. It’s a middle finger to the promise of 1776. You are going to have to choose.”
Unfortunately all through out history, there have been people like Paul Gosar, Charlie Kirk, and their MAGA enabling contemporaies, infesting society with their fecal matter dribble from the dark-sewers of politics.
In American History, these people were the likes of John Calhoun, Nathan Bedford Forest, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, and David Duke.
Those people and their views have been beaten down before by the forces of light, Democracy, and inclusion. They need to be defeated again now and when they resurface in the future.

And, therein lies the problem when dealing with fact free GQP. They don’t care what you or I think. If, in their beady minds, a car with a tattered “Biden 2020” bumper sticker is antifa, that’s all they need to take a shot. After all, Gross-ar gave them permission. If you’re at, near, walking past or thinking about a drag show, pro-choice rally or a Democratic party meeting, you’re antifa. Antifa is whatever they decide is antifa. Democrats and progressives have to wrap their minds around the fact that we’re not dealing with people who live in the same reality as sane people. GQP/trumpism is a mental illness.
Here’s a link to a BBC story about a trumper. I’m not saying all trumpers are like this guy but I believe this is the hard core. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-65951188
I think that you insult sewers here.
Sewers benefit society.
Gosar and Kirk (et. al.)?
Not so much.
This could easily be the beginning of a hot civil war. What will happen when redneck racist MAGA morons start attacking people they simply believe are “antifa?” Will antifa fight back? Will progressives and liberals take up arms? Or will we just wring our hands, gnash our teeth and seek bipartisanship?
“Will antifa fight back?”
How can they when they don’t actually exist? I’ve never heard of a single person with an actual name who identifies as antifa.
The irony is amazing. Every soldier who landed on the beaches of Normandy were anti-fascists. Dwight Eisenhower was an anti-fascist in WW2, as was Winston Churchill, and Patton. So the term anti-fascist, has been corrupted into a catch-all rant.
Exactly.
