Republicans, The Media, The "Liberal" Elite, Having Their Crap Cake And Having To Eat It And Forcing Us To As Well

What we are witnessing in the United States is no less than the self-revelation of the Republican Party as a fascist party under the control of one of the stupidest, crudest, most ignorant, most disgustingly self-indulgent, most probably insane despots to arise in an allegedly democratic country in the West since the election through a minority vote of Hitler in Germany.  I have thought about the history of Western governments since then and not one of them has come close to matching the disaster that Trump is.  And even if you just consider that he's been in office for just under one year, if you compare how Trump is operating to the first year of many of the worst fascist despots, many of them at the one-year mark would not have produced anything as alarming as Trump has, especially in a country which was a major military power and which once had a reputation as a reputable democracy. 

The racist shit show of yesterday is just the crap icing the Trump torte, many of the layers are filled with the same flavored filling.    That it was objected to by some Republicans in the run up to the election, only to have the same Republicans to make common cause with him after he came to power - especially as seen in the recent vote on the Tax Billionaire Bonanza - shows that they bought it, from insanity and ignorance to racist, sexist, rants and mocking of the disabled.   

There is no excuse for the American media covering up for this.  They knew what they were doing, they are in the business of knowing what product they sell.   Trump is their creation.  The American media took the Trump of the 80s and over the past thirty years they co-created, with him and his hireling handlers, the Trump who now occupies the White House leading a gang of thieves and organized criminals.   This is the produce of the  free press freed to lie and to promote and amplify lies and which has, in fact, steadily, since the 1970s conducted the effort to fan racism which is, as someone said last night, the central pillar of Trumpism.   The Republican Party took in the most racist of racists who left the Democratic Party when President Johnson pushed the congress to pass the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and those and their ideological descendents are probably the majority of those you will see on cabloid TV and on the Sunday morning  network lieathons, which replace revealed religion in the American state religion of Mammonism. 

Anyone who expects this is going to end without major changes to what brought us here, including the interpretations of the Constitution which, more than merely enabled it, CAUSED IT, is deluding themselves.   We got here, step by step, since the mid-1960s even as privileged white elite "liberals" who lead the media, who lead Hollywood, who lead academia wallowed in the eutrophic ooze of lies and amorality which tolerated the media promotion of racism, the backlash to feminism and a host of other things as long as it didn't interfere with their sex lives and their wealth.   They're the low-brow Weimar era style party before it started raining shit down on their heads.   They helped undermine the morality of the United States that was our only real protection from the neo-confederate fascists and Nazis who were enabled and aided by the champions of "free speech" "free press". 

I'm going to have more to say on this later.   I'll warn you, the goddamned ACLU, Common Cause and other icons of that pseudo-liberalism will be mentioned, prominently.
