And Everyone Knows About Mississippi Goddamn

I know you could find an audience in any state who would do what the Trump thugs did in Mississippi last night, rise to Trump's lying, mocking slander against the rape victim Christine Blasey Ford, mocking her at the age of 15 when Georgetown Prep degenerate Brett Kavanaugh raped her with the help of his buddy Mark Judge - two football players ganging up to rape the much smaller, younger girl.  You could find an audience in any state in the country who did what they did when they yelled "lock her up" on Trump's cue demanding that they lock up a rape victim when she finally, decades after, feels a sense of moral, of civic duty to expose him so he won't be put on the Supreme Court where he can propagate his entitled depravity on behalf of Donald Trump and Kavanaugh's rich, entitled, white male cohort and the billionaires they serve for the crumbs that fall their way, the payment that the billionaire boys club pays them off with.

You could find that audience anywhere but with last night's depravity on top of the reputation that Mississippi earned over decades and centuries of depravity and evil, if they want to not have that define Mississippi and residents of that state, they're going to have to earn it by a massive wave of different, of excellent behavior.  Though I would't expect that's going to happen soon. I'm not going to ever think of Mississippi and the White residents of that state without remembering that was the place where Mississippians yelled for locking up Christine Blasey Ford when she was facing death threats from their fellow thugs, of terrorizing her family because she told the truth about Brett Kavanaugh.

I know calling Christine Blasey Ford a rape victim will be rejected because the law doesn't call what Brett Kavanaugh did to her "rape" because he didn't succeed in penetrating his victim but listening to her describe the enduring results of it there is no reason for us to not admit that she is a victim of rape.  An incomplete rape can clearly succeed in producing a victim of rape.   It's an act that for normal life we don't need to bother with the legalistic definition of the act.  The ongoing damage to its victims is what we should let define the word, not the gratification of the rapist.  We know that Brett Kavanaugh produced a rape victim who became a rape survivor when she courageously told her story though she knew that the Republicans in the Senate, in the Congress, in the Trump regime, in the media and Rachel Mitchell, the woman who volunteered to act as the skirt they would hide behind were going to try to tear her apart.
