How bizarre!

 


(4.5 minute read)

 Where to start

            I like to have a post start out with at least a basic premise and then build on that.  Stuff is coming in from the right from a veritable firehose in so many different areas in so many bizarre ways.  Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon, is just a recent example.  Not that there’s anything new about racism but having white people portrayed as potential victims is kind of a different twist.

“I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.”  Scott Adams[1]

            The above quote isn’t the worse thing that he said.  Adams also said that he used to identify as black but doesn’t any more since he left the “hate group.”  Yes, he called black people a hate group.  He said that identifying as black worked to his advantage.  Nothing inflammatory there.  You can check out the comments at his You Tube post and from the comments being made it’s apparent that white supremacists/racists eat this stuff up.

All day long.

But wait!

            Has the United States invaded Europe and I missed it?!  Are we rounding up Jewish people, gays, invalids, Roma and sending them to concentration camps?!  I kid you not, Tulsi Gabbard said that the Democratic Party and Joe Biden share the same core principles of Nazis and Adolph Hitler.[2]  She said it seriously and with a straight face.  Tens of millions believe her.  Crap!  Half the Republican Party, excluding the Nazi fascists, believe her.

            You know when I engage in tawdry name calling, I do like for it to make sense.  In other words when I call MAGA heads Neo-Republican Fascists I can make the case for that name.[3]  I don’t call them Communists even though they support Communists, because the term doesn’t apply to them or what used to be the Republican Party. 

The best case, based upon their current characteristics, is that they are fascist in several respects but not all.  Where it gets more confusing is that they’re simultaneously pushing the country towards being an oligarchy/authoritarian state.  The current NRFs portray Chinese Communists as an enemy but Russian Communists led by Putin as being victims of the west led by the United States.  (Technically I think Putin is actually a fascist.)

These are not simple times.

TOBs

            In keeping with the title, I have to get into some Truly Outrageous Beliefs (TOBs) held by millions of Trump supporting MAGA heads.  MILLIONS.  Now when I say TOBs I’m just skipping over the mainstream truly outrageous stuff like the election denying Big Lie fairy tales like millions of illegal immigrants voting[4] and deep state bullshit.  It’s important to remember that these people are NOT a fringe element of the Neo-Republican Fascists Party.  People like Jewish space laser believer Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t get elected by a fringe group of people.  They comprise the main body.

            I have seen MAGA Heads espousing these kinds of nonsensical garbage since Trump started running.

  • John Kennedy Jr. is not dead and is going to be Trump’s Vice Presidential running mate.[5]
  • Trump is the biological son of General Patton.[6]
  • Donald Trump is still President.[7]
  • There is no war in Ukraine.[8]  Hundreds of thousands of dead people from both sides can’t argue with that.
  • Did you know that we have 2 militaries?  Trump is in charge of the good army and Biden the bad army.[9]
  • The Democratic Party is being run by a cabal of satanic cannibalistic pedophiles.[10] 
  • Former President Obama is wearing a mask and playing President Joe Biden.[11]
  • 9/11 was an inside job, Bin Laden isn’t dead and some other trivia [12]
  • Trump is godly. (Yes, for real MAGA Heads claim this.)[13]
  • President Biden is a pedophile.[14]
  • MAGA Heads are awake NOT woke.  If you want this concept cleared up you’re going to have to click on the explanation provided by the link in the endnote.  It’s kind of complicated and has something to do with the sexualizing of children through sex education or something-something.[15]
  • Most of our federal government is unconstitutional.[16]
  • On Halloween illegal aliens came across the border and took up residency in houses to give away fentanyl to children. (Again, with the kids.)[17]
  • Biden is on drugs.[18] 

These people are just repeating the stories that they have all researched and checked out to see if they’re the truth.  Whenever you see small groups like those that showed up in Dallas it’s mindful to think that there are people like that all over the nation. 

They walk among us.

Take them seriously!

            That heading probably seems a little contradictory, doesn’t it?  An NPR article that I have cited previously had this closing quote.[19]  It’s an excellent article.

"Every large political movement started at one point as a small fringe minority," he said. "And when it catches on, it can engulf the whole society. So, you know, the danger is there."

             They have ONE WORD[20] for the non-Trump believers.  (Yes, I know. Not a typo.)

Fuck you!
