Those who support Trump, his minions and their wrong doings take offense to labels such as ignorant and deplorable.
If they’re neither of those, then are we to believe they are continually gullible?
For them, history and mistakes keep recycling so we can we add insane?
From the way they behave and what they accept.
Removal of those labels aren’t warranted yet.
People claim to be against shooters and terrorists advancements.
While they give them direct access to deadly weapons and equipment.
As well as permission to use them.
They fund and support the terrorist cell which labels itself as Republican, patriotic American, Conservative, Christian.
They are the ones who believe they have power to alter reality.
That every loss to them and theirs is a steal.
Trying to convince the rest in US and the world, that their atrocities, obscenities and cruelty are signs of bravery, integrity and patriotic duty.
Nowadays, Christians = Nationalists = Terrorists = Obstructionists = Conservatives.
Standing so close, of the same actions and words.
Difficult to distinguish among their goals and messaging.
You would think those who are different, would be scrambling to be distant.
And not show guilt through participation or by association.
Even as they claim to be of God, they’ve followed and answered Trump.
They don’t hesitate to personally attack.
Even when what they make claims to, that which are filled with holes and cracks.
They make their decision, draw to conclusion and state to their opinion.
Unless of course it’s not a story that they want to be told.
Then it’s “no comment” or place it all on hold, until all the “truth” unravels.
When there is a mountain of evidence against, they stay silent or switch.
Change topics to their fix.
As they did with the 10-year old rape victim.
An incident they initially said was fabricated, fake or staged.
Until a man was arrested.
So then it comes around, the topic is no longer about abortion, but the “horrors” associated with immigration.
Disinformation and defamation.
Ruining people’s lives and reputations.
Bordering and broadening on criminality and malfeasance.
Based on perceived vengeance and grievance.
That’s now a cherished right-wing liberty.
Spreading throughout American society.
Even as they look, many don’t see.
Often their gaze is beyond where it needs to be.
As they drive, their eyes are not on the road.
Always to their right of way and a green light to their go.
It’s never their turn to stop or yield.
They must forever have control of the wheel.
They’ve shown to really not care.
Deliberate as they smear.
Connect and link others to negative.
It need not hold for long, the story doesn’t stick.
Yet it leaves a stain on people’s brain.
Enough to be included as decisions are made.
From impression, to perception to conclusion.
No need to vet or verify – enough people will accept and ingest.
Right-wing know their people well.
How to influence their clientele.
They bank that there are sufficient to their likes.
Who willingly join their fight.
Standing against reality.
Making a mockery of religion, integrity and truth.
Whatever it takes, their voters and supporters will do.
Despise – not the ones who terrorize but those who try to hold the terrorists to account.
Cancel and outcast those they perceive as different.
Hate has been an integral part of MAGA politics.
Adopted and adapted by Banana Republicans.
Redefining America and Americans.
It may not be clearly seen, felt or perceived.
But it shows in how they allow their fellow men to be treated.
Oppression and suppression also recycled and repeated.
By not voicing disdain or standing against, they yield to the hate.
It’s often been said – “Action speaks louder than words.”
It would also likely hold that inaction shows what lies below.
Some may say, it’s not their intent.
But there is enough evidence that apathy and silence equals consent.
People want to eat their cake and have it too.
Many who feel entitled do, and that’s not new.
But the length, breadth and depth that those on the right now go to get, has changed.
Chaos, abnormal and deranged – the new stable, typical and sane.
It’s seen.
But what has come to be, is to their belief and to what they agree.
So there is no objection or dissonance.
Just acceptance.
Denial and deception does not change fact or truth.
But they influence what people do and how they choose.
The interpretation, or misinterpretation alters within.
That’s the true change that’s happening.
