Although America is now at a different state and in a different time.
There still appears to be melding of minds between the GOP and those in the suburbs.
Their use of buzz words, like increased violence and crime.
A message aimed at privileged and Whites.
While Republican Ads against White Senate Democrats focus on money – the inflation and the economy.
They claim Black Democratic candidates are soft on crime.
The sign of our time – Using race to win the political race.
If it wasn’t effective, it wouldn’t occupy space.
A reflection of our society.
What many feed into but defiantly dismiss.
It’s now a hell of an eyesore on which much of America’s division and discord now sit.
Many tricks by the GOP to disrupt elections.
Misinformation, deception, voter and public servant intimidation.
Darkening skin tone when advertising.
Replacing benign t-shirt prints with – “Defund the police”.
Calls from Republican officials to increase the presence of vigilantes at drop boxes, showing a guerilla-like presence at voting sites.
Robo calls full of lies claiming that mail-in ballots will expose personal information.
Targeting the minority population.
Again, many Americans don’t care.
Once they perceive none of that is near to or affects them.
They won’t condemn.
Even if it’s to the GOP’s lies, dangerous rhetoric and culture wars.
The main plan is to scare.
The use of fear to win votes.
Highlight what people loathe.
Use it to their advantage and to give them points.
Though at times it doesn’t seem to matter, those on the right and their Party have an enduring, permanent joint.
Who or what is Herschel Walker to the GOP?
The token Black to show Party diversity?
Or is he part of their strategy to victory? -Pith a Black Republican against the Black Democrat.
As simple as that.
Or is it more deep? – He is their idea of exemplary in the Black Community.
Believing that Blacks are ignorant and shallow.
That their standard is that low.
Or is Walker the kind of representation they think the Black Community deserves?
With the hope that HIS ignorance, lack of knowledge and loyalty will solidify their reign.
He is to them a dog to be trained, for their gain.
Will Republican voters continue to help their leaders feign and stage as the Party of integrity and values?
Or are they ready to come true?
Will the Black Community permit the GOP to use one of their own as a puppet, a stepping stone?
Even as they make situations for POC worse?
Sad part is Walker willingly participates.
Is it for five more minutes of fame?
Or is it in his DNA to keep himself and his race enslaved?
The GOP Judiciary Committee declared their Trinity – “Kanye, Elon, Trump.”
These are the men held up.
Despite their recent Anti-Semitic and pro-Russia rants.
These characters are who the GOP willingly advance.
It says a lot about the leaders of the Republican Party.
But it says more about the ones who keep their company.
Americans are permitting themselves to be swindled, bullied and abused.
Consistently lied to.
Treated as if they are stupid, clueless and ignorant.
And they aren’t venturing far from that reflection.
Their donations to PACs are being used to undermine democracy.
Pay terrorists and vigilantes.
Taxes wasted on political stunts and to bring down opponents.
Not to build, repair or resolve but to dissolve and absolve.
And as long as the minions perceive, it’s against the “lesser” ones.
They give permission.
But in today’s climate of identity politics.
Americans may relate as White, of the fairer race.
Believing they’re legitimate.
And that they will be given the privilege because they associate and side with the master.
But the caster has the power to mold.
All below will be forced to behold.
In the end, the one given the whip, is the one who gets to choose.
The one that was given the power to define, lord over and use.
So as Republicans and right-wing stay fixated to the level they were trained to see.
They aren’t able to move beyond the caliber they were duped to believe would satisfy their needs.
Their wings are being clipped, even as their leadership soars.
Breaking glass ceilings while the minions salvage and scavenge for what’s dropped on the floor.
If only people had chosen humane, we would be in a very different type of political race.
There was always a veil of pretense and hypocrisy.
Proving that true Divinity was never to their taste.
So now that it comes to “race”, they didn’t go high, but went for man-made.
