Or The Real MAGA Bomber, Or Both?
Trump and the Republicans may not have actually pulled the trigger, or mailed the bombs, but they might as well have.
Make no mistake, Trump and the Republicans know EXACTLY what they are saying and doing.
Words have power. Words have consequences.
They act with malicious intent and impunity because they think that we don’t care.
Trump is a coward and would rather have someone else do his dirty work — whether it’s a “lone wolf” or his accomplices in the Republican party, someone does the deed and Trump gets to feign shock, cry crocodile tears and read a speechwriter’s fake words of sympathy, all while keeping his tiny hands clean.
And the press eats it up. No questions asked.
Why isn’t there a single front page headline that reads: TRUMP ATTENDS SELF-SERVING RALLY INSTEAD OF RUSHING TO PITTSBURGH TO COMFORT GRIEVING FAMILIES —
Or — TRUMP BLAMES VICTIMS AND CALLS FOR ARMING SYNAGOGUE GOERS IN TONE-DEAF RESPONSE TO SHOOTINGS
They all have blood on their hands. EVERY. LAST. ONE OF THEM.
Jews, Mexicans, African Americans, Muslims, Immigrants, Women, the LGBT Community, Healthcare, the Free Press, the Constitution, Democracy, itself — Is there anything that Trump and the Republicans don’t hate?
Oh yeah, there’s money and power — the only things they love and are more than happy and willing to sell their souls for.
As long as Trump and the Republicans continue to spew lies, hatred, what-about-isms and both sides bullshit and as long as the MSM continues to be complicit and pretend to not be the corporate lapdogs that they are — choosing to profit from tragedy that sells rather than speak truth to power and demand accountability and justice — we should continue to expect lies, hatred and tragedy.
STOCHASTIC TERRORISM — I’ve seen this term being used a lot lately and I thought it would be helpful to publish a definition for those of us who kind of, sort of know what it means. I found this one online at WIKTIONARY:
1. stochastic terrorism (uncountable) NOUN
The use of mass, public communication, usually against a particular individual or group, which incites or inspires acts of terrorism which are statistically probable but happen seemingly at random.
2. 2017, Clayton Delery, Out for Queer Blood:
All of this fits with what the anonymous blogger G2G had to say in his expanded definition of stochastic terrorism: “you heat up the waters and stir the pot, knowing full well that sooner or later a lone wolf will pop up and do the deed. The fact that it will happen is as predictable as the fact that a heated pot of water will eventually boil. But the exact time and place of each incident will remain as random as the appearance of the first bubbles in the boiling pot."
Trump may be a coward, but he is still a terrorist (and a traitor, too, but that’s another story) and he leads a willing terrorist organization — the Republican Party.DO YOU CARE ENOUGH TO REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER?
