And then local level Dem politicos, people who are obviously now part of the Democrat machine, say the same thing. Here's Mamdani saying NOW IS NOT THE TIME. And you wanna know what? Fuck these Democrats. Fuck the whole party. They're all frauds.

It didn't stop after the Civil War. It didn't stop after Jim Crow. It didn't stop after stop-and-frisk. This is white fascism. It won't stop until the systems and mechanics of whiteness are gone.

White crisis fascism is a cycle in the US. Until white people demolish the racist system that developed & maintains whiteness once and for all, we will never escape this cycle.
www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~marto/fasci...
A section from the cited text titled, "The Crisis that besets Whiteness" says, "For each era, following the revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights upheavals, a pattern of crisis is discernible. A document is produced that affirms social equality (the Declaration of Independence of 1776, the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, and Brown vs. Board of Education of 1954). A movement then arises that takes that document seriously (abolitionism, Reconstruction's multi-raciality of governance, and the civil rights movements), and seeks to construct a real democracy for the people, both black and white. And that movement then produces a crisis for white racialized identity, in response to which the white socius renovates its structures of racialization, in order to reconstitute the cohesion of the culture of whiteness. The identity crisis for whites emerges from the force of autonomy and equality in the hands of those upon which white identity depends. And in each case, the white socius has responded with a multitude of forms of violence, and a demand for white allegiance. The vast defense of slavery, the KKK and other paramilitary operations, and the prison-industrial complex, all participate in the emergence of what could be called "white-identity fascism." But let's look at each era individually, since whiteness reconstituted itself differently each time through a new paranoia, a new prison system, and a new form of impunity, based on the new conditions it faced."

Biden dozed off all the time too. Why is it that the US can't find someone who can stay awake to run things?

Congress should impeach and remove tomorrow. I'm sure if they put their minds to it, they could get it done in one day. That's what they should be working on.

He has precedent behind him. I'm not trying to justify it; I think it's wrong. But he isn't the first to do it. Apparently, blue voters only notice it when it's a red guy who does it. 🙄

Dude, you're saying no one should primary challenge Hakeem Jeffries. Your moral outrage is a sham. You're just another cog in the uniparty machine at this point. You support this guy ⬇️ The guy who capitulates before even trying.

In other news, we have Hakeem Jeffries rolling over like a dog before anyone has even investigated this AFTER multiple Republicans have gone on record saying that if this is true, it's a crime. Go Dem, I guess. 🙄Someone please primary this guy & get him out of office.

It's just a coincidence that most of the people from these countries don't have white skin, right? 🙄

It's white panic. Pathetic, racist, emotionally insecure, vile panic. It isn't by accident that the media & politicians are fomenting this white panic precisely at a time of grotesque income inequality. White fear has kept them in business for over 200 years.

If US history is any guide, it isn't the last. It's just one more time through the white crisis fascist wringer. I highly recommend reading the article I linked below.

p.s. the Nazis borrowed a lot of their racist stuff from the US
