Apparently Mellisa has written an article for the Progressive about all that and more. She seems to be informed so I thought I’d give it a read.

 

 

 

The first sentence is a powerhouse and presented above the artwork to emphasize just how awesome it is. Like the title, I like it. So far.

 

She writes,

 

"State and local republican parties have been taken over by white supremacists, conspiracy mongers, and insurrectionists.”

 

Ok, let’s break this down,

 

The first sentence paints a good visual, but is either misguided or it is professionally crafted disinformation, maybe both. I’m only on the first sentence here and I don’t want to get bogged down or pre-judge the article, but I can’t proceed without dissecting this first sentence. It’s so good. It must be professional disinformation.

 

I won’t speculate as to her intent, yet, but,

 

First of all she accuses a coalition of white supremacists and conspiracy mongers and insurrectionists of taking over the Republican Party. As if the Republican Party has not been exactly that for about ever now.

 

Their track record is clear. 

 

I guess the establishment assumes that after eight years of Obama nobody remembers what the republicans did before him, I do.

 

I won’t cite their history, here.

 

I will say in our monetary system supremacy is measured financially, not racially. So white supremacy is misleading. So is conspiracy mongers. Nobody "mongers" for a conspiracy. What she is saying is the same as racist liars. The republicans are being overthrown by racist liars, is what she is saying. She chooses to call the liars conspiracy theorists even though she knows they are lying. They are lying about losing an election. That's not a conspiracy theory. It's a lie.

 

They lost the election and they say they won. The problem is neither side can't prove it to the other's satisfaction. Election fraud claims will grow until the government provides a citizens network in accordance to our democratic needs. It needs to be accessible and verifiable with no anonymous activity. Don't trust anybody who's against it.

 

The republicans are different now, she implies, because they're lying. Wrong. They have always lied. Some of them have begun to openly embrace their own supremacy. Some still try to hide it. Either way, denial or not, voter suppression has always been their political strategy.

 

Republican ideology is financial supremacy and it has been for a long time. Becoming cartoonish villains to protect and defend their anti-democratic agenda was inevitable, sooner or later.

 

Almost everybody concedes to what the republicans stand for so why not openly embrace their supremacy? That’s who they are. That's their team. It's a big tent. They're going to run supremacy up the flagpole and see who salutes. And make note of who doesn't.

 

The Republican Party is splitting, they say, into two different camps; the shameless shills embracing their beloved leader and those who prefer to remain in denial of their shameful past.

 

As if that makes them different. It doesn't. Frankenstein is letting his monster out of the closet. It's a trial balloon to measure public reaction. Now you can vote for the unmasked monster, directly.

 

The republicans have always had a corporate agenda to maximize private profits from public extraction. That's what unites them. Bipartisanship is why we have increasing inequality.

 

Financial supremacy will remain the primary republican motive, for Frankenstein and his monster, divided or not.

 

Open resistance to the truth, democracy, and the law, is not a new strategy for republicans. Nor is winning elections by fraud, despite the establishment selling it as something new.

 

The Q's assent to supremacy is hedged by their other wing that remains in denial. The old guard and the crazies are still one party unified against their opposition, democracy. If the shameless liar strategy doesn't get the votes, they can huddle back up with those pretending to be against lying and adjust as necessary.

 

Public acceptance of fascism is their goal. The next step in a long line of undemocratic steps that define the republicans for what they are, financial or otherwise, is supremacist pride. They must openly embrace their sinister beliefs if they are to achieve true supremacy.

 

The republicans farm their opposition with public policies that feed their victims into the conflict-based economy, for profits. The democrats try to regulate them if possible, for the public. There is an alternative to all that, based on a healthy economy for everybody.

 

Our socioeconomic design needs to change and the only way to change it is to fix our democracy. With a citizen network, accessible and secure, giving us a verifiable consensus, we could begin to fix our democracy.

 

We don’t need new leaders we need a new high-tech consensus system. We need an electoral infrastructure to provide a post-digital democracy if we are to save “democracy” from its enemies.

 

Antiquated electoral technology is voter suppression.

The parties are hunkering down now in self-preservation because the the population keeps growing and the wealth extraction scam is not sustainable. Something is gonna give.

 

Our democracy, probably.

 

The republicans gather for their secret meetings and strategize their supremacy, while the democrats recruit “the resistance”. Those from the public who can donate their time and money to oppose the republican agenda support the democrats. Inequality defines the division.

 

The idea we need a two-party system for an opposing viewpoint would be valid if at least one party actually represented the public honestly, and economically. They don't. The democrats represent the same shareholders as the republicans do, but republicans don't represent Main Street at all, except in rhetoric. Republicans vote unanimously against the public to profit their sponsors, I've noticed.

 

Back to Mellissa's first sentence. I have a concern with lumping supremacy in with conspiracy theory. Supremacy is the opposite of a conspiracy theory. A supremacist believes they deserve to control the institution. A conspiracy theorist questions the validity of institutional truth. They are opposites by definition. A supremacist doesn't care about the truth. The implication is that there is an equivalence to the two motives, or a coalition, when there’s not. That conventional wisdom is demonization by association and therefore, disinformation.

 

Seventy million conspiracy theorists don't believe the outcome of the last election was valid. That's because our electoral system is inadequate. The resistance to a post-digital democratic upgrade is the problem in need of correction.

 

And lastly, her opening sentence implies that these people went from waving confederate flags in the capital to taking over the local party, as opposed to the other way around. Sorry, these paranoid flag waving liars have always controlled "their" party, or their parents did. The result is the same, either way. Some of them got to vacation at the capital this year for the big Storm the Capital event. Insurrectionists? Maybe a small fraction of them, by definition.

 

Anyway, let’s give this a read.

 

Looks like a deep dive into some of the specifics about the cast and their crimes. It's also a testament to the militarization of our homeland. Which coincidently coincides with the republican voter suppression efforts.

 

I’d put 2 + 2 together, but who’s counting?

 

The plot to militarize the homeland and prevent the public from voting started a long time ago.

 

So now the right wing racist militia movements will become the republicans and the democrats will serve as the party of old corporate cronies or something like that. Steady as she goes, hard to the right.

 

The left gets left out.

 

After skimming over a ton of detail in her article I have read enough to know Melissa deserves an award. She has clearly spent a ton of time documenting details and sharing her insights about the inevitable surrender to, and overthrow of our government by, organized supremacists, who also apparently believe in conspiracy theories, they say. As if that’s relevant. As if they themselves are not a conspiracy.

 

Her article, without saying as much, points out the fallacy of our democratic process. A political system based on money will inevitably create more money for those who control it.

 

When an antidemocratic organization controls your democracy you don’t have a democracy.

 

The money flows to those who control the system. Those that control the system, control it for the money. This organized conspiracy she’s talking about is not motivated by racism, like she says. It is enabled by and for the money that sustains their supremacy. They recruit racists and hillbillies dumb enough to promote their ideology, as a distraction from the motive of money. The hillbillies are happy to volunteer, pushing their racism and fear as their motive that threatens the violence, which fuels the conflict-based economy.

 

Melissa suggests that if we’re concerned about our democracy we should get involved with local politics. I'm for that, but she sounds like a party recruiter. Join the democratic resistance to help oppose the militant skin-heads gearing up to kick your ass for the Q's, and the cause. The democrats will vote away the Q's and their quest for supremacy, supposedly, with your help.

 

I don’t think it’s too much to expect that the local politicians will do the right thing. But now here they are, apparently, passing voter suppression laws at a rapid and harmonious rate in almost every state. Just like the Q's are already running the show. It’s like it was planned this way, by those doing it now, a long time ago.

 

It’s been an intergenerational goal, or plot, if you prefer. It should be acknowledged and corrected, democratically, if possible.

 

Like the civil rights act recently being ruled unconstitutional, declaring some states, but not all, no longer must report election law changes to the AG. Now that the court overturned that one, all of the states can change the law however they like, apparently, suppressing the vote as determined locally, by those who are doing so very well. The government could have easily written the law for constitutional compliance, by making every state report instead of just some, but they didn't. The law was written to fail. And it did.

 

The state governments all think that voter suppression is the legislative answer to the big lie. That’s exactly the wrong thing to do. As usual.

 

It’s like thinking censorship can validate your opinion by denying the existence of the counterpoint. It can’t. It doesn’t.

 

We’re all in this together, they say, except Trump and the 70 million people who still think he was robbed by democrats at the last election. Let’s censor them, they say. We don’t have to prove anything, ever. Is what they must be thinking. Let's give out some money.

 

That’s their plan, apparently, for now.

 

This is a perfect opportunity for a citizen’s network as previously described. Locally operated servers in every district, for a voting system that is national and that is verifiable locally. It’s so simple, and so obvious, and so overdue.

 

I wonder why we don’t do that?
