Democrats were stuck playing checkers for far too long but especially after Trump and the wealthy elite slid all their top pieces onto the Supreme Court (as well of top government, oversight and regulatory posts), it's become quite clear that our Democracy is in fact at stake and since 2016, Dems seem to have finally upgraded to the same chess board R's were playing on for decades. While we were all over here laughing about 'Republican Hypocrisy', their intentional conflations allowed them to hold onto enough Independents while enacting the shrewdest possible versions of their plan. So what is their plan exactly? To create a Christian Fascist Government that has the power to 'save White America' (a la the infamous Replacement Theory, which has been largely buried again after a brief moment of journalism salience that brough it into the spotlight). In their eyes, Multi-Culturalism itself is a threat to the white race and why they've aligned themselves with the Fascist White Christian Russian government. Multi-Culturalism is THE enemy and enemies must be slaughtered with no mercy, that's their basic ruling guideline. This is a Game of Demographics and there's only one way to systemically alter demographics… Death. Well immigration too, Trump amped up illegal crackdown and aggressively hacked apart legal immigration processes… for non-white people, white Europeans from “civilized countries” never faced any trouble… but that mostly only stems the flow, catching and deporting can help but also very slow going. So in their eyes, we now have a more or less contained bucket of 336 million people of all races and religions but mostly still White and Christian. They already know the answer so must work backward from there to develop the most effective strategies possible for slowing and reversing Multi-Culturalism. Minority immigration rates and birth rates have largely exceeded those of the White population and has had the largest impact on the current diversity in America today. To get a better understanding of what I'm getting at here, let's look at how the proportion of people in America by race self-identification in the Census has evolved over the past 70 years. 1950 89.5% White 1960 89.3% White 1970 87% White 1980 80% White 11% Black 6% Hispanic 3% Other 1990 76% White 11% Black 9% Hispanic 4% Other 2000 69% White 12% Black 12% Hispanic 7% Other 2010 64% White 16% Hispanic 13% Black 7% Other 2020 58% White 19% Hispanic 12% Black 11% Other You can almost even see exactly how a rapidly changing population may have precisely in itself triggered the increased racial resentment necessary to drive Reagan to a near clean sweep in the Electoral College with his extensive racial dog-whistling and clear deeply held racist beliefs. Not to mention the 2016 anti-immigrant election as Hispanic racial diversity skyrocketed and drove Trump to victory with his even more overt expression of his clear deeply held racist beliefs. In fact there's some reporting out there showing that areas that experienced the most rapid change in demographics from more White to less White were considerably more likely to vote for Trump further indicating this effect persists today. So looking at that we see the minority population essentially doubled from 10 to 20% between 1960 and 1980 and has now doubled again by 2020. Can you start to see the lens through their eyes now? Make America Great Again = Make America 90% White Again These people don't care about the law, they don't care about the half-baked logic they're forced to regurgitate strictly in line with messaging from their (mostly oil, gas and banking and, uncoincidentally, overwhelmingly White and Male) conservative Billionaire Overlords day in and day out. They know that America needs to become a White Christian country to save White America and they pretend America was always this way from its founding while doing everything in their power to enact their Fascist Christian takeover of secular American Government as it was founded. The Real "White Genocide": Time Itself Sad as it may be for these poor wealthy elites to "lose" the White country they grew up in, they are up against the most relentless of foes in this human experience, time. Turns out that entire labor base that powered the growth of their vast fortunes over the last half century wasn't just white people but an increasingly diverse population that was requisite for the growth and success we all achieved together as a country. Totally giving Whitehouse construction vibes but at a much grander scale. Ok, but what about White people? Is the White race dying out? Well, let's just say it becomes exceedingly clear that the only way to "save" White America is to use the government to force the (still predominantly White) population to have more babies. Hence anti-abortion policies barely veneered in religiosity BS. But not just White people have babies right? Precisely, that's a feature not a bug because minority women die at 3-4x the rate while giving birth than White women. We honestly don’t say this enough as liberals but Anti-abortion policy is literal and statistical, and the very much intentional, genocide of minorities. For as bastardized as Kanye West has made his life today, it's worth harkening back to his, at the time, incredibly incendiary and quite liberal remark towards Bush but updated for a 2023 America… Republican's Hate Minority People That's what it boils down to folks. Plain and simple. But c'mon guys, they don't hate minorities simply because of their skin color, why that would be racist. They are merely protecting their own race and religion which just so happens to necessitate killing off minorities (as racially concentrated religious people tend to do almost invariably every chance they get throughout our entire world history). This is why R's get so triggered at being called a 'racist' and adamantly deny being so. In fact, you can actually very accurately predict Republican policy based simply on the statistical negative impact on minority populations. Eliminating Multi-Culturalism from America The writing is clearly already on the wall. America is set to hit majority-minority in new births by 2030. And that would be especially incredible if we didn't already cross that threshold in… 2011. So put yourself in the shoes of these old, white Federalist Society Christian Wealthy Elite type hacks. To them it's a battle to the death with their second most fearsome enemy (after 'time' of course), Multi-Culturalism. Where does Multi-Culturalism come from? Immigration and Non-White people. How do we end Multi-Culturalism? End all immigration and ban all references to minority life as much as possible from society (do you even Florida?). Thankfully sports have largely made it through unscathed and Republicans have no power to remove minority players (RIP Colin Kaepernick /s) the way they do for removing all minority authors from school libraries. But if you were a true White Race Zealot you might ask, how can we REALLY end Multi-Culturalism? That my friends has been right under our noses this whole time and only more recently bubbling up into the consciousness of the broader population. 1. Charter schools? That's modern day segregation policy. 2. Housing policy? That's old-timey-day segregation policy still inflicting damage today and lets not even get into Gentrification, which is generally indistinguishable from segregation simply because generations of White Providence and Black Oppression has led to White families being dramatically more wealthy on average (and the only ones who can afford that swanky new apartment). 3. War on drugs? That's modern day sterilization and/or kidnapping. 'If we can't kill 'em out right, then we can at least lock 'em up for a good couple decades'. That is systematic isolation of minority populations to temporarily end their ability to reproduce. 4. Tough on crime? That's modern day lynching. Police are free to murder anyone without repercussions if they 'feel threatened', a state entirely in the control of any racist officer to dictate. Hell, killing them is actually preferable in their mind as it eliminates their culpability and for a long time was an automatic exoneration simply because there was no other side of the story (RIP the list is sadly way too long). 5. Stand Your Ground laws? More lynching. These laws empower the broader population outside of the police force to wantonly murder minorities with little chance of ever facing repercussions (again, as long as they successfully end the life of the person they are attacking, RIP Treyvon Martin). 6. COVID-19 Policy? Yea, you guessed it, minorities died at substantially higher rates early on (RIP Herman Cain and Ben Carson) so naturally when anything shows up to eliminate your #1 enemy, you make room for it to do what it's good at. Jokes on them though, thanks to rapid vaccination adoption among Democrats, white conservative and particularly rural Republicans ended up more racially decimated by COVID. In fact, this may be precisely WHY DeSantis plans to attack Trump on vaccinations. If he had been in office, he could have delayed vaccine development for many more months, which statistically, you guessed it, would have killed a whole heck of a lot more minorities. Remember our shared rally cry of 'Flatten the Curve' so the healthcare system could have time to respond to COVID without collapsing? They were trying to 'Ramp the Curve' simply because a healthcare system collapse would achieve their goal of rapidly reducing minority populations. 7. Anti-Abortion policy? What an oxymoron, I mean c'mon, for every birth minority women are 300-400% MORE LIKELY TO DIE than white women. Anti-abortion policy is literally a government death-sentence for thousands of women every year now. And let’s not even get into the travesties that forced birth children face by the hundreds every week now whose bodies are so underdeveloped that they are also at much higher risk of death regardless of race (although in this case, children in poverty and minority children likely still face the highest risk). This is sterilization in a sense as it can eliminate every child the mother would have had in the future but it's also the best they got for a modern day interpretation of lynching that they can specifically apply to minority women (just to be thorough and cover both sides of their racist Rubicon). 8. Anti-Obamacare policy? Obamacare saved lives period and this upset Republicans precisely because a good portion of those lives being saved were minorities who struggled to afford healthcare prior to this policy (White people of course had much higher coverage rates). Republicans would much prefer minorities just die off faster from a lack of healthcare because it's in line with their broader goals of saving White America. 9. Pro-Gun policies? Need I say more? I think it’s pretty clear already although I would note that many of these easy to buy guns find their way into big cities where they are used for Black on Black crimes that also drive Republican goals quite effectively. Commonsense gun reform, sure enough, means less dead minorities so Republicans are opposed to it. This whole entire time us liberals have been sitting here confused why everything Republicans do is dripping in hypocrisy. That reason is now abundantly clear. They aren't using that as logic to pursue the policy, they are using it as logic to deflect from the true intent of their policies as best they can. That true intent is to keep America White and make it Christian by any means necessary. They already know the answer is 'less minorities', it's more a problem then of working back from that answer to get the most palatable messaging possible. It's pure marketing. Doesn't it seem so weird how our Constitutional Fore-Founders who sought to escape religious persecution themselves would set up another religiously driven country and include the word God on our money and in our Pledge? That's because the Founders didn't do that ('God' was in fact added to both the Pledge and Money in the mid-1900's by the same group of wealthy White and racist Christian elitists we're up against today, just a generation later) and were actually mostly huge proponents of secularism who all spoke 3, 4, 5+ languages (something that you’d be hard pressed to even get a conservative to believe). They literally left the known world to build from nothing and risked everything to escape the control of religious bigots. This is Christianity finally reaching the end game of taking control over the secularly founded America for having the audacity to think it could escape the grasp of religious bigotry to live in FREEDOM. America’s Freedom has always meant, ‘Freedom from Religious Oppression’ not ‘Freedom for the ruling class to exploit the population for profit’ as the bastardized way R’s have twisted it today. These people were not about to give rise to the religious persecution of non-Christians and repeat what they just escaped all over again. Wait Weren't You Supposed to Cover WI Election Politics? Ah yes, where was I… You see this foundational understanding is so critical because we are now reaching the 'late game' phase of this matchup, we are reaching the demographic culmination of White Christian Fascist Republicanism in 2024. It's their last shot to take it all and steal elections forever before the demographic tide pulls them into the depths of the wrong side of history. They can save themselves. They can save America. They can save White History itself. And they will damn sure pull out all the stops to do so including ransacking the Capitol and thieving government secrets that could greatly benefit their international allies (Russia, Saudi Arabia) who can continue supporting their rise to power politically and financially (SA just cut oil production again today, this enriches Russia and the American oil and gas Christian Fascist Wealthy Elite we spoke of before giving them increased power to put down Democrats). If they can only scheme their way into just enough power positions to overturn the next presidential election, you can bet your ass they won't miss their chance. They made their best effort to overturn the most recent one but amazingly the King of Religiosity BS himself, Michael Pencerton, or Mike Pence as we call him today, miraculously couldn't bring himself to go full fascist with the rest of the gang (never go full fascist…). I remember Pence being an Establishment Republican insurance policy against an unhinged President Trump. I never would have guessed he would end up as the insurance policy for Democracy itself. With that battle lost they still sought to win the war by securing SoS and Governorship posts in every swing state possible. Thank god for a trigger-happy SC that managed to negate the Red Wave by exposing Republicanism long game directly to the masses. Your body, government's choice. Boy Republicans sure have gone 180 haven't they? From the party of 'government is bad' and 'don’t tread on me' to the party of ‘government is required to police your morality most especially in the bedroom and that’s it’. Annnnd… Finally, that Brings us to Wisconsin Mapping out 3-Dimensional Chess is no easy feat but we should now be all on the same page of this century long battle of wealthy elite Fascist Christian Republicans against Secular American Democracy. You can bet your ass these are the same mfers who off'd MLK and JFK too (early pillars of Multi-Culturalism) and so much other stuff I don't have the pixels for but I'll stick to the point and keep the tin-foil hat on its alter for now. By all counts, Fascist Republicans have lost the 2020 and 2022 battles to hijack the American Government. Their early victory with the SC even ended up costing them the 2022 battle. Now it comes down to 2024. What do Christo-Fascist Republicans need to ensure they never to have accept an election result they don't like? Hold AZ and GA by any means necessary and make sure WI electors are Republican no matter what. Mr. Brad over in GA certainly can't be counted on to Mike Pence his way out of full-fascism a second time after having 4 years to find (or create) an actual legal way to do the thing that was technically illegal the first time plus an unending stream of racially targeted Voter Restriction policies. Thanks to adept Dem chess countering, we were able to muster the strength to elect Katie Hobbs and Tony Evers along with Dem SoSs in WI and AZ and let’s not discount that Abrams sacrificial run that fell way short was still probably critical for achieving both the Biden and Warnock win there. That was a barely dodged coup-de-grace from the Christo-Fascist Republicans btw that would have already guaranteed a R win in 2024 no matter what the actual vote. These are the three most likely tipping point states R's will need to win for an outright win and why they fought tooth and nail to win those posts so they wouldn’t have to leave it up to the voters. Winning in AZ and GA will be hard enough for a Republican presidential candidate in 2024 but if they managed to pull those out, they can just steal WI in 2024 if they win the races happening there today without having to worry about pesky Democracy. And not just one but two races, the first will decide control of the State SC, the other will decide control on the State Senate. A loss in either will virtually ensure Fascist Republicans can throw out or change Wisconsin's popular vote and/or electors. This is because Senate control means any official or benched SC justice can (and will, don’t forget the shrewdness) be removed from their position including Evers himself. The R in that race is already threatening to do just that if they win. If you live in WI please vote today, Secular American Democracy and Multi-Culturalism itself may depend on it. Disclaimer: The generalized word ‘minority’ was used throughout this piece to describe situations where specifically African-Americans have seen and continue to see the brunt of the negative impact from these racist policies and have historically almost exclusively borne the burden as it relates to the use of the words ‘lynching’ and ‘segregation’. This is not meant to trivialize or marginalize the very real Black plight in America but to be more broadly inclusive and unified in that all racial minorities face varying degrees of similar negative impact from today’s Republican party and non-racial minority groups as well also see some negative impact such as LGBTQ+, Trans, forced birth children, the differently abled and atheists. The only way this works out better for Black people and all minorities is by standing together in one unified voice against fascist oppression so I’ve done my best to respectfully thread that needle.
