The Democratic Party vs. The Terrorist Party
(Basically this is Part 2 of this article from earlier this year)
"A house divided against itself, cannot stand." Abraham Lincoln, circa 1858.
I have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating as we’re witnessing Kyle Rittenhouse becoming a messiah in the MAGAverse: the Republican Party needs to go and the myth of the “we need a strong two-party system” has to be eradicated from American culture.
Enough is enough.
Two people were killed by a punk kid seeking violence in the midst of protests and civil unrest as he crossed state lines wielding a gun he should not be possessing and posing with cops and white supremacist groups---before AND after the killing. Yet, this is the man currently being hailed by the MAGA party, by the extreme conservatives, by the talking heads in all the right-wing networks. We’ve even mostly forgotten why Kyle was there in the first place, it was to counter protests related to an unarmed black man shot by police so many times he became paralyzed.
This trial is being closely observed because the MAGA crowd is always on the prowl for another victory to “own the libs” and to continue propping up the new extreme movement that rose above the surface thanks to the Trump Administration. Similar to battling against the mandates, battling against the vaccines, battling in the governor race in Virginia and New Jersey under fear-mongering campaigns, the MAGAts are trying to etch out wins under the Biden years in order to prepare a second attempt to bring their orange god back into the White House.
Even if someone like a DeSantis or a Crenshaw would be a far superior candidate for the Republican primaries, they lack the imagery, the racist rebellious energy of a third MAGA Donald Trump run. At the end of the day, they aren’t seeking power to make changes, they seek power with the sole purpose of obstructing changes while keeping the racist systems intact.
Can you truly name ten, even five policies the Republicans are trying to implement that doesn’t involve banning or obstructing something? They don’t see a future, they don’t envision a better America, they want to keep the oppressive and lopsided ways of an extremely rich superpower country that still has areas with no access to clean water for its citizens. Anything that can give power to the working class gets challenged every step of the way, even taking measures to battle an ongoing pandemic. One example that is severely underreported is when Ron DeSantis refused to allow Key West to dictate what ships can dock on THEIR ports.
So how can the country improve post-Trump, post-MAGA, even post-pandemic if one of the two parties refuses to participate and even help out? How can we better ourselves if the other party is even opposing teaching about the sins of the past?
Let’s listen to Evo Morales during a recent speech: “[With] racist fascists, there will be no reconciliation, brothers and sisters. Either they beat us, or we beat them.”
We don’t need this fascist-leaning party to continue. We don’t need two parties to seek improvements in the United States. It should be perfectly acceptable to not only defeat this party, but find ways to eradicate them off the political spectrum entirely. It is time to wildly expand voting rights, expand statehood, start dishing out actual severe punishments for whenever they refuse to abide by rules and even instigate violence in social media (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being portrayed as a monster getting killed in the official account of a U.S. representative is ridiculous and harmful, and that’s not for debate), and most importantly rev up the charges and arrests related to what happened on January 6th when a coup attempt did indeed occur and did indeed involve politicians -still- in office.
Over in Bolivia, after the coup was overturned in the 2020 election by re-electing the party that was ousted, the Luis Arce administration decided to chase after everyone involved in the coup and whether drove them out of the country entirely or arrested them on dozens of different charges. They stomped out everyone involved and now the political party of Jeanine Anez has next to no power whatsoever within Bolivia’s political structure. Anez has a trial coming up about her actions that led to the coup and military-led massacres that she not only supported, but provided full amnesty.
Compare that to the coup attempt we witnessed here in Washington D.C., which as a result the Republican Party still has 200+ seats in the house, and nearly 50% of the available slots in the Senate. Most who voted in favor of overturning election results with no evidence remain in position, worst of all the dictator-wannabe behind the coup attempt is still living in Florida with no threats of being arrested. All this does is invigorate them to try this again if the next presidential election once again doesn’t favor them.
The Democratic Party definitely isn’t perfect, but at the very least they are trying to govern. The other side however has zero reason to do anything except bide their time, continue tossing obstacles in Biden’s recovery efforts, and wait for an additional opportunity to regain the power they had under Trump. They won’t even vote for expanding voting rights, they even made it difficult to pass simple necessary things like pandemic relief and infrastructure. This country deserves better than seeing one fractured disorganized party trying to clean up the epic mess created throughout the century being met by an opposition party trying to reenergize themselves to reclaiming power after a failed coup attempt. This can’t continue, those politicians need to lose all their power and disappear entirely from the political atmosphere.
Learn from Bolivia, eradicate the guilty from any semblance of power and only then can the United States begin its true recovery and attempts to improve itself for its people who have been suffering immensely for a very, very long time.
No more partnerships, its time to truly see the current Republican Party for what they are: the enemy that must be defeated by any legal means necessary.
