capitol hill putsch

“I do not care what any­one says. This bull­shit that start­ed in 2009 was nev­er about health­care, tax­es, deficits, or for­eign apol­o­gy tours. This was al­ways about white su­prema­cy. That it took 20-some years of my life to re­al­ize that is a tes­ta­ment to what we can trick our­selves into be­liev­ing when we love peo­ple and institutions.”
—Joshua Tay­lor

“Di­rect quote I heard on Elec­tion Night 2016: ‘Oh come on, don’t be so dra­mat­ic, do you re­al­ly think things will change?’ For fur­ther con­text, this com­ment was made right af­ter I had just left an event with a pre­dom­i­nant­ly Lat­inx crowd who were in tears, pan­ick­ing, call­ing their friends and fam­i­ly, ter­ri­fied THEY WOULD BE TORN FROM THEIR HOMES AND COM­MU­NI­TIES BY ICE. Yeah. ‘Dra­mat­ic.’”
—Na­tal­ie Michelle
 

Re­mem­ber on Elec­tion Day 2016 how we were all “over­re­act­ing?”

A coup in America.

We told you. I told you.

Four fuck­ing years ago – go deep, read my old posts.
 

Oh, they lost their jobs?

They need to lose more.
They need to lose lit­er­al­ly everything.
They need to be deported.

“Just strip their cit­i­zen­ship and let them live in the US as ‘il­le­gals.’”

So once more we are shown in harsh re­lief that there is lit­er­al­ly *noth­ing* MAGA trash won’t de­fend, if done by their side.
 

How many failed DJs and causal­i­ties of a 90s rave scene they nev­er got over told you Hillary was worse than Trump?

 

Here’s the thing: “Brain wash­ing” means lit­er­al­ly dick to me if the brain washed per­son is the one that em­phat­i­cal­ly re­quest­ed a rinse.
 

But you didn’t want to have un­com­fort­able con­ver­sa­tions. And now ter­ror­ists are try­ing to over­throw the government.

Reuters pho­tog­ra­ph­er who was on the scene Wednes­day said he heard at least three dif­fer­ent ri­ot­ers say they want­ed to find and ex­e­cute Vice Pres­i­dent Pence by hang­ing. https://t.co/EBNGGGe6sw

Take. Con­trol. Stop de­fer­ring to old ass­holes like they know more when they clear­ly know less.

 

“The same peo­ple that made memes mock­ing the mur­der of George Floyd now want us to be re­spect­ful of the do­mes­tic ter­ror­ist that ac­ci­den­tal­ly killed him­self by tas­ing him­self in the nuts?”
—Lau­rie Fairbanks
 

This is who they are.
 

“Press sec­re­taries like Joe Lock­hart, Ari Fleis­ch­er and Jay Car­ney, who left the White House with their rep­u­ta­tions in var­i­ous stages of in­tact, made mil­lions tak­ing their skills – and cred­i­bil­i­ty – to cor­po­rate Amer­i­ca. Trump’s liars don’t mer­it that same gold­en para­chute. Let it be known to the busi­ness world: Hire any of Trump’s fel­low fab­u­lists … and Forbes will as­sume that every­thing your com­pa­ny or firm talks about is a lie.”
—Ran­dall Lane, Forbes
 

MAGA zom­bies are fight­ing po­lice (re­al­ly) and try­ing to storm the capi­tol while Re­pub­li­can reps push sedi­tion and lies inside.

This is an em­bar­rass­ment and they are all com­plic­it in it, to the last.

 

“Blue lives mat­ter” tho. Right MAGA pigs?

I’m just playin. We know blue lives only re­al­ly mat­ter when they’re tak­ing brown ones.
 

“Re­demp­tion and rec­on­cil­i­a­tion is im­por­tant for a so­ci­ety and there should be a path for it for all but the most egre­gious male­fac­tors. But for­give­ness be­gins with ac­count­abil­i­ty. The path starts with a full and hon­est ac­count­ing of every­thing you did and every­thing you saw.”
—Joshua Tay­lor
 

This is im­por­tant. Too many think that since re­demp­tion is a thing that should just dis­pense for­give­ness freely to peo­ple that haven’t earned it. Of­ten this is an ex­cuse to avoid un­com­fort­able con­ver­sa­tions with MAGA peo­ple in one’s life.

No for­give­ness with­out work.

Stop let­ting fail­ures tell you what suc­cess is.

This is our time. Shut them down.
