Yeah, I know, most people would say that the “f&%$ing moron” Donald J. Trump is the most dangerous fascist, but, just as Hitler had Goebbels, Himmler, et al, Trump had his fascist cronies who kissed his butt…and they’re still attacking our American democracy. Out of many, I call out two, Moscow Mitch McConnell, the Turtle, and the Bakersfield Bastard Kevin McCarthy.
The damage to American democracy engineered by the Turtle is almost unmeasurable, but let me signal one huge attack in support of fascism he made on our republic that started even before Il Duce Trump won in 2016. With all that’s going on now, you might have a problem remembering all the way back to President Obama, and I’m not talking about Moscow Mitch’s threat to make Mr. Obama a one-term president (that description only works for the complete loser, Narcissus le Grand aka Trump). No, the Turtle became the fascist general leading the troops into battle in the cultural wars by loading the federal courts with fascist judges, from SCOTUS on down. First, he made sure Obama couldn’t name Garland. Even though that would have been almost a year before a presidential election (Obama couldn’t run again—we would have cleaned loser Trump’s clock, I’m sure), Moscow Mitch used that as a lame excuse: Never in an election year! Well, the hypocritical Turtle did exactly that, engineering several SCOTUS appointments, one a lot farther into an election to replace the honorable RBG (who must have been turning over in her grave at these machinations!) Loading the courts were Moscow Mitch’s greatest sins, making him worthy of a special place in hell, and our democracy might never recover. It could be dead long before Mitch dies!
Okay, that’s the Senate, that fascist old-boys club created by our Founding Fathers to allow the new American aristocrats to further their oppressive, self-serving agendas. What about the House, which supposedly is the people’s legislature? It too has become a fascist force because the Good Ole Piranhas, through oppressive voting restrictions and anti-democratic gerrymandering, often have insured it’s the bane of Dem administrations. Thus we come to Kevin McCarthy, the Bakersfield Bastard. I cringe to think he’s a native Californian. What an insult to my home state! Of course, the Central Valley, which includes Bakersfield, and specifically his district, is Trump-land, and old Kevin is a devout Trump acolyte. But with this Good Ole Piranha, I’ll stick to his more recent shenanigans. With January 6 fresh in everyone’s mind (not his apparently because he doesn’t have one), Kevin went to Mar el Lago to kiss Trump’s butt. But even before January 6, he was Trumpeting the Big Lie that the 2020 election had been rigged. Together with Moscow Mitch, they torpedoed a bipartisan commission to weed out the villains of January 6. Then the Bakersfield Bastard torpedoed the House special committee by trying to name his pet fascist colleagues to it in order to create chaos. Speaker Pelosi would have none of that fortunately. But now Kevin, in his feverish fascist pond-scum brains still looking for ways to stop the truth from coming out, has threatened tech companies if they cooperate with the special committee; they’ve asked for comm records, including Kevin’s.
You are watching the Good Ole Piranha’s wrecking ball razing our democracy, turning America into a fascist state. Don’t let that happen! Vote in 2022 and 2024 to halt the GOP’s chokehold on American democracy before it too calls out, “I can’t breathe!”
