One of "us".

 




I just saw a report that most republicans believe that the January 6th insurrection was a democratic inside job to make their dear leader, Donald trump, look bad. I mean, seriously? How can we even have  a normal debate with these people?  What would make seemingly normal people show this type of cult like devotion to an obvious charlatan?

I have a theory, and you can stop reading now if the race card offends you. Yes, it's all about race. There is no other explanation for it. Donald trump has brilliantly built himself up as America's first white supremacist president in the modern era, and that is just fine with a certain segment of the white population who believes that their country is being taken away from them, and that those other people are turning it into their country. Donald trump doesn't have to say the quiet part out loud, because most white Americans who live with that fear see a sort of savior in trump. So what if he is a fascist? He is our fascist. He will protect our way of life. He will take us back to the days when our superiority wasn't questioned. In other words, he will make America great again.  

This is why, no matter what, Mr. trump will always have a large segment of the population in his corner. No matter how many crimes he is charged with, no matter how many women he rapes or brags about assaulting, it won't matter. It drives other Americans nuts. Those of us who consider ourselves normal and who want to see the better angels in others want to believe that the people who support him really  believe in their hearts that he is just a guy that means well and his policies will help them in the long run. That is not true. Go back to my second paragraph and read it again. It's an uncomfortable truth, and if we can't come to grips with it the cult of Donald trump will forever have us perplexed.

The British writer, Nate White, penned a brilliant essay about why the Brits don't like Mr. trump. It's worth a read. 

Another essay could be written about why so many Americans like Mr. trump. The answer would be simple: He is one of us.

  1. The Republican voting base was used to having their racism doled out to them in measured doses that excited them enough to vote in the primary and then maintenance doses between elections to keep them from straying.
    Fergus' stroke of crude brilliance was seeing that and saying "Fuck that, here's a straight up geeze of the pure product. Your ignorance is noble and your bigotry is patriotic." And since then his base has been as loyal as any run of the mill junkie is to their main source. And all of those Republicans trying to out Fergus Fergus? Clueless idiots, trying to lure junkies away from their main source by noticing that the source wears a purple hat, and then wearing a bigger purple hat. The hat won't help them. Even more, and better junk won't help them, because Fergus has the junk they like, and they won't change their tastes capriciously.
    And no, they won't care if their source has committed other crimes, as long as the junk keeps coming.
    This phenomenon works in both directions, also, eliciting behavior just as erratic from Fergus, so much so that he's under sanction from multiple judges because it's more important to him to keep his customers satisfied than it is to avoid legal risks.
    I don't see any way to break his idiot hordes of their addiction, even if he loses and is imprisoned for his crimes, they will still remember what he did for them: fed their addiction and made them feel good about being junkies.
    Where else are they going to find that? They're in for the lesson that all junkies have to learn: you can never replicate that first great high, and everything after is a game of diminishing returns until you have nothing left but your addiction, and you can't live off of it, so you either come down or die.

  2. Thanks for this, Field, and Doug too. As an 80-year-old with a quality education I've read all the theories and political analyses, only to agree that it may wear new clothes and language (POC are "othered" these days) but it's still the SAMO SAMO racism, our evergreen affliction, even though with new attachments (Mexicans, Muslims, etc). So old, so boring to social scientists looking for new slants, but rallying the poor and left-behind superior race, living out of trailer parks or not. (They may enjoy a Denzel Washington movie or an NFL or NBA game but that doesn't compute) So it's the same old rock to turn over, same old vermin, only now all the quiet parts can be screamed because you're the rival and the even-more-powerful ENEMY. God have mercy.

I'm not surprise at all the country is in the shape, what's worse is that the black AMerican community never really prepared itself for this eventuality, no to mention all of Africa and the Caribbean.

    At this point, I’m mostly concerned with what the MAGA cult will do when their conman leader gets convicted and sentenced for his many misdeeds. I suspect there will be an explosion of irrational violence.

    The media wingnut-o-sphere has convinced too many of their readers/viewers that we cannot all get along in this country, and have fostered an “us or them” mentality. Ridiculously, MAGA cult members do seem to believe that they are persecuted, or at any rate soon will be, and Trump is their only salvation. Some of them will probably freak completely out when he is removed from the political scene.

    And what will happen after that temper tantrum? Will the Republican Party then return to something approaching sanity? (Not that I respected them decades ago, but at least back then they weren’t mounting constant assaults on democracy.) Or are we in for something even worse?

    “Nothing President Trump says nor does affects your life in any way whatsoever, absolutely nothing.”

    Not true. Trump going to prison might cause Republicans to finally get a fucking clue and get off the insane, country-destroying path they’re currently on.

    That would affect everyone’s life for the better. In the U.S. and the rest of the world.

    “I’d rather read your opinion on Charlamagne Da God’s double rape case: African American legal name Lenard Larry McKelvey took some underage crotch.”

  33. My recollection of 9-11 was flying into Newark the night before and it was a perfect day. I was on top of the world, a young 737 co-pilot flying with a cool captain. As we drove to the Newark airport Hilton we joked about New Yorkers, as I sometimes do. After arriving we got our keys and stepped onto the elevator to go to our rooms. A crew of flight attendants also got on the elevator with us. I struck up a converstaion with one of the crew an attractive young lady, just small talk, where are you based and when are you leaving ect. We were both leaving the next day. We all know what happened the next day. One of the planes originated in Newark and since we only had a few flight out of there I just knew she was on that flight. I was just torn up that someone I just met and was full of life was no longer with us. Well after a day of feeling confused, depressed and paranoid I left my room to maybe find something to eat. When the elevator doors opened up I looked across the room and I saw her. OH MY GOD! SHE'S ALIVE! She saw me and must have thought the same thing as we ran and just hugged each other. After all that was wrong with that day I at least had this little victory and for those few minutes the world was ok. Neither of us said a word and walked away. I never knew her name and I wouldn't recognize her today if she punched me in the nose but I want to thank her for giving me a sliver of good that day.

    The Supreme Court's ruling in the Bruen case established a new (and admittedly insane) standard for gun restrictions: They are automatically unconstitutional unless they have “historical analogues” from 1791, when the 2nd Amendment was ratified.

    Since I highly doubt that there were any bans on drug users owning guns back in 1791, Hunter could probably take his case all the way to the Supreme Court and wingnut his way into having the law he's been charged with struck down.

    2) Plane was set on autopilot, so it could have kept flying by itself for a while.

      Rumors of corruption have swirled around Menendez for years. He was tried unsuccessfully for corruption in 2015, but apparently learned nothing from the experience and didn’t clean up his act, as the feds found half a million in cash lying around his house.

      When he inevitably steps down, I hope the Dems are able to hold onto his Senate seat. They should have tried to oust this guy earlier. He was way past his sell-by date.

    Yeah, that was garbage. Senate Dem leaders were so eager to look tough on sexual harassment that they didn't allow for any kind of investigation or due process before insisting Franken should go. And also Congresswoman Katie Hill, who was basically forced out for having a kinky (but consensual) sex life, and not because she abused her power to coerce sex out of anyone.

    It's not like these cases were going to "set an example" for Republicans on sexual harassment anyway. They don't give a shit, and will shamelessly keep right on harassing. Hell, Trump is probably a rapist, in addition to all of his other misdeeds, and it doesn't matter to Republican voters at all.

    Menendez, on the other hand, almost certainly isn't being unfairly maligned. There's not a lot of doubt about his guilt here. He's crooked.

    While this is an insane take, on its face, it also repeats a dumb, unkillable zombie idea that endlessly circulates around the black community. And that is that the primary cause of instability in black romantic relationships is black women wanting to dump their boyfriends so they can become eligible for welfare.

    While poverty does indeed destroy lots of relationships, it is patently ridiculous to focus on and criticize the nitty gritty details of welfare requirements and NOT blame racism and elitist economic/justice system policies that made black people need welfare in the first place. It is Republican policies that create the poverty that Democrats end up trying to alleviate with welfare social safety nets.

    And while allowing that sort of nonsense might be merely ill-advised when it happens on a social media network, allowing it in the workplace is actually illegal. (For now, at least. In the wake of 303 Creative LLC v.

    Yeah, that was my take. Newsom probably came to regret pledging to appoint a black woman, and thereby pissing off any other potential aspirants for the job who aren’t from that demographic.

    To avoid reneging on his pledge, he found a black woman who is most likely just a temporary seat-filler (because she has never held an elected position and has minimal name recognition) and so won’t pose much of a threat to any established Democrat candidates vying for the job in the spring primaries.

  167. Two justices from the 5th circuit magat pig stye in Nawlins interceded in a case that was assigned to a different 3 judge panel of the 5th circuit and blocked a severely gerrymandered magat map from being redrawn to favor a Democratic black district. Unheard of in the judicial world.

    “It may elevate Laphonza Butler in Democratic politics for future offices, though, and therefore might not be just a cynical ploy.”

    Yeah, I guess that’s true. Being the acting US senator for California is something she can put on her resume if she wants to run for a lower elected office later on. But I’m just thinking California voters aren’t likely to let a political unknown waltz right into a US Senate seat.

    Although that did work for Donald Trump and the presidency, but probably only because the Republican Party has gone stark raving mad, and now apparently considers having no qualifications (along with shamelessly spewing hate speech) to be a plus.

  169. Fergus has already lost the judgement about whether he committed fraud. He did commit fraud. The rest of the proceeding is to decide how much he should pay for having committed fraud. So what does the brain-wizard do right out of the gate?
    Start bragging about how much richer he is than what the documents in evidence at trial said he was.
    That won't make the judge want to order a lesser disgorgement, that will make him more likely to order up the entire $250 mil.

  170. House Squeaker Cave-In McCarthy did this to himself. Now at the mercy of Jailbait Gaetz Cave-In comes crawling for Democrats to let him continue banging the gavel like a 3 year old. The price for that should be funding for Ukraine and the spending levels agreed to in the debt ceiling deal. Otherwise leave him to the tender mercies of Jailgaitz and the Putin Caucus.

  172. Buh bye Kevin. 208 Dems voted to kick his lame ass out after he shit on them repeatedly and lacked enough support from his own batshit crazy conference to save him.
    Randy Rainbow was right "If he lasts a year I'll eat my MAGA hat."
    Now what fresh hell awaits us?

  174. So let me get this straight: Matt Gaetz just kicked Kevin McCarthy out of the speakership because Kevin passed a CR using Democratic votes... using Democratic votes? Shouldn't he spontaneously kick himself out or something?

    I hope Democrats don’t regret not saving McCarthy, since whoever follows him will probably be worse than him. Then again, maybe McCarthy wasn’t willing to offer anything at all in return for being saved.

    On the plus side, if Republicans now render the House ungovernable and cause an extended federal shutdown, that will comprehensively fuck them in next year’s elections.

    Inexplicably, Trump also seems convinced a Republican-caused shutdown will somehow help keep him out of jail. It won’t.

  176. There is nothing worse than Cave-in. The Putin Caucus did its job. Ukraine can kiss their ass goodby. Putin is laughing his ass off.

    Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly admits Trump is a dirtbag who despises veterans, and everything General Mark Milley said about him is true.

    So, guys, I hear the frontrunners at this point to replace Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House are Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan.

  180. Gym Jordan as SOH is a bigger joke that Mccarthy and Gaetz combined. Jordan can't even run a credible committee hearing without fucking it up.

    Biden administration failing miserably. Reverses position on border wall and uses Trumps ideas because he doesn't have any.

    Democrats will steal Trumps ideas and polices and present them as their own because they (dems) are failures.

  185. No, you miserable pine cone, the Biden administration is spending the money appropriated for the goddamn stupid fence on the goddamn stupid fence because that's what it was appropriated for and the goddamn Republicans are too retarded to allocate it somewhere else where it might actually do something real.
    In other words, they're following the fucking law.

    Yes Field, you are 100% correct.
    As anyone can see, racism "Trumps" democracy in America.

    So, Yes... they are willing to abandon democracy and be led into "dictatorship" like cows being blindly led to the slaughterhouse.

    Think about it...
    It's the same mentality that has them believing that illegal aliens are taking "their" jobs. As if any of them ever wanted to take slave labor jobs like: picking crops in 100 degree heat, cleaning hotels, landscaping, changing bedpans in nursing homes, landscaping in 1000 degree temps, food delivery, shoveling excrement, working in kitchens, putting up with nanny abuse,...and the list goes on.
