While 1/6 was taking place, Honey and I sat riveted, in horror, even, as the very backbone of our constitutional form of government was under attack . After that day, their planned attack continued on many levels, across the country. Seven states’ elected pols and state officials conspired to reverse their state’s fair and free election results, with the puppet strings and deliberate orchestration leading clearly back to DC, and in particular, to Trump attorneys Powell, Eastman, Giuliani, and Clark of the AG’s office. And of course, also leading directly to Donald Trump. They even tried to stoke street violence so Trump could call in federal troops across this nation, to keep “control,” and remove permanently valid election results. Luckily, that did not occur.
On that day, I called it treason, an illegal insurrection and a deplorable stain on our democratic system. I was scoffed at, laughed at, and was even threatened with banning for writing such things, even on this site. (Some the terms I recall directed to me here: insane, reactionary, paranoid, and stupid)
Well, it sure looks like I was right then. But I am not gloating, rather, I am warning about what is yet to come. Luckily, for now, it seems that our system of government managed to survive. The question is for how long. It is about to get worse.
Before the orchestrated and planned Capitol riots, in which many innocents lost their lives, there was open talk, messaging, blogs, and more, discussing and even overt planning of that fateful day. As a result, 100s have been criminally charged, almost 100% of which ended in convictions or guilty pleas.
But too many top traitors and ringleaders remain free, for the most part. (The Proud Boys and am important, but few, others, notwithstanding) Those who are not yet in jail, those behind the scenes, those vile puppet masters and their cohorts still in office, (looking at you, Gym Jones, Comer, Margarine, Boebert, and others), running for office or living free, learned a valuable lesson. They cannot freely do their future planning so overtly, on blogs, on Facebook or on Twitter. The hatred of all things good - functioning democracy, civil rights, voting rights, gay, lesbian, trans and more rights, immigration rights, the rights of women to maintain control of their own reproductive futures, and so much more, remain under attack. Especially in southern states.
I submit that those current political attacks are nothing more than an extension of the forces and farces that led to January 6th. But it is not just the political arena where their nefarious plans are being made. Let’s look at the political landscape (in convenient shorthand, and skipping all the nuances) today:
In Florida, you can no longer get a broad-based, in-depth education. A company cannot even support LGBTQ rights, lest that state’s sadistic governor goes on a reprehensible attack. Libraries and lib
In Texas, innocent people are dying because Gov. CostelloN. Abbott, place man-killing traps with the intent to harm, even kill. It seems like he and Desantis are in a race to see who can be the most sadistic, evil and destructive.
In other states, abortion rights, access to prevention and life-saving healthcare are not just under attack, those rights have been erased. Some GQPers are even talking death sentence to any woman who seeks treatment outside their borders. (In a “free” country?!?!?) Insanity. Sheer insanity.
As I suggested above, these traitors and their hundreds of thousands of supporters, have learned a lesson. They are being far more careful about their planning, about their goals, and about how they will foment their second effort to have a revolution. For now, and only for a short time to come, they are using control over various state governments to do all the damage they can, before people wake up and stand up to them, and while they still have a quiescent, even supportive Supreme Court majority.
When people do see and comprehend the clear and present danger, they do the right thing. In Kansas, the voters rejected the total ban on abortions. In Michigan, the conspirators and criminals are being charged, even while some of them remain in office. In Wisconsin, the voters clearly stated that they had enough and righted their Supreme Court ship, before any more damage could be done. The actual, current and complete list is shockingly long.
Across the country, many handpicked Trumpians lost their election campaigns, whether in primaries or general statewide elections. The long predicted “Red Wave” ebbed away, to the embarrassment and chagrin of the Mainly Steamed Media and those very same puppet-masters. But it was only “many,” not “all” of them. And still, Trump leads the GQP polls by 40%.
There is a storm brewing. Those same treasonous, power-hungry, anti-democratic fascists are planning and plotting again. This time, their timing will most likely depend on our legal system’s calendar, a legal system which finally is directly taking on the Dark Lard himself, Donald J. Trump. Initially, I was pissed off at the delays, (two years!), but when pondering this, over a homegrown cookie with my Honey, I realized that all those small, nameless, and always irritating traitors who were identified, indicted, arrested and either tried to verdict or pled to crimes, were absolutely necessary to set the stage for the real culprit, the bloviating, thin-skinned, whale himself.
As the Dark Lard’s various trial dates approach, and jury selections begin, watch out for orchestrated events, intent on sending signals and disrupting those trials. Their plans for violence will be far better organized, far more covert, and far more dangerous and deadly.
Also, as those trial approach, we must be even more vigilant, more careful, and ever more brave. We MUST stand up to the MAGAs, the fascists, and those fellow citizens who wish us harm, if not death. Hell, at least one GOP candidate is threatening death to everyone who is not a trump or DeSantis lover, ally and proponent. That is not hyperbole, it is his promise. Remember, Rhonda was one of the originators of that vile group I always call the TeaBuggerers. He really believes the crap he spews and supports. If anyone believes he will moderate and make his positions more mainstream - you are sadly, sorely, and scarily mistaken. He really is that vile, evil, and cruel and sadistic. As is his horrific wife.
Be prepared. Be afraid, but do not let fear paralyze you. Stand up to these anti-American freaks. Write letters to newspapers. Talk to friends and family. But, BE PREPARED. By design and their planning, there will be blood in the streets, making January 6th’s death and injury lists look like a cub scout jamboree.
