The Virulent GOP ‘Woke’ Virus

The Republican war on wokeness is simply their latest dog whistle to justify their delusional, unworkable ideological agendas and hide their crimes and ineptitude

The Republican Party’s (GOP) wore on wokeness and reality in multiple attempts to obfuscate facts and truth to ‘own the libs,’ and force minority rule on the massive majority that doesn’t support them is yet another reminder of how corrupt and ignorant they have become. Since their lackluster attempts at pushing their former twice-impeached, minority-elect president’s* fraudulent claims of voter fraud keep failing, the GOP is doing their damnedest to create other crises to justify their idiocy and criminal behavior, and, as usual, are failing miserably.

As noted by the Independent Institute, wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and — if need be — those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda. It is nihilist and destroys everything it touches. The term ‘woke’ is attributed to Black nationalist and civil rights activist Marcus Garvey and began in 1923 when Black people started urging each other to stay woke to the dangers resulting from the Jim Crow style of racism and social injustice and to fight those evils, and it became more popular in music. That phrase gained traction with the Black Lives Matter movement which began growing exponentially due to the growing number of unarmed black people killed by the police.

Notice that in typical fashion, the miscreants leading the GOP keep claiming or blaming whatever their enemy of the day may be on someone or something being ‘woke’ to serve as cover for their racism, homophobia, and misogynistic attempts at suppressing free thought and everything else that makes most people realize how corrupt and stupid they truly are, as a generic way to justify the many depths of their ignorant depravity. Notice too that the GOP loves playing word games and using double-speak to try and justify their ignorance. They’re playing a game they can’t win, and unsurprisingly, their ignorance is quite astounding:

As noted by Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary for President Joe Biden, the GOP’s war on woke isn’t a potent campaign. The usual idiots like Trump and Florida governor Ron DeSantis keep complaining about ‘woke’ institutions and the ‘woke mind virus.’ But their problem is that they can’t fool the mass majority because to anyone with half a brain, ‘woke’ means being informed, educated and aware of social injustices,’ not being overly politically correct or moronic like those that keep trying to push it. Consequently, using scary verbiage – lies to deflect from their actions and crimes – to try and goad the public into believing that being ‘woke’ is an issue isn’t working.

Will Trump Finally Face Justice?

After decades of grifting, gaslighting, swindling, fraud and swaths of other criminal activities – long before all the ‘alleged’ crimes committed after becoming a minority-elect president* – Teflon Don’s armor is beginning to shatter

It only took over two years since he left office for our minority-elect, twice-impeached one term former president* Donald J. Trump to be held accountable for a small fraction of his ‘alleged’ crimes, but it finally happened. While there are a multitude of other potential indictments coming, Trump is currently facing 34 potential felony charges, and he’s not handling it well.

Some outlets are dubiously referring to Trump’s being charged as a former president* as ‘unchartered waters,’ but is it? Too many media outlets spent the 4 years of Trump’s untenable presidency normalizing the lies and crimes perpetrated by Trump and his equally corrupt GOP Congress critters instead of telling it like it is and holding them accountable for their actions. But the real question with Trump isn’t how he got indicted, it’s why didn’t this happen long ago?

Multiple claims of his being held responsible for his actions being ‘uncharted waters’ imply this is something new, despite the fact that in reality, Trump should have been held accountable long before his ‘unchartered waters’ ship sailed. For example, it was ‘uncharted waters’ when Trump and his terrorists plotted to illegally overthrow the election after losing it bigly. Lying about actively soliciting help from Russia to win the presidency, terrorizing immigrants while separating families and putting their children in cages was ‘unchartered waters.’

Terrorizing journalists and encouraging the moronic miscreants that comprise his cult to beat them up, banning Muslims from entering the country, extorting the leader of a foreign country to find non-existent corruption on his opponent, constantly grifting at U.S. taxpayer expense, lying about a pandemic – and virtually everything in general – which cost more than a million lives is ‘unchartered waters.’ Embracing white supremacy and encouraging his terrorists to defend him while denying he did anything illegal is ‘unchartered waters.’

Beware Of Quick Judgment In Latest Syrian Gas Attack

Man receiving treatment in Damascus photo from Yahoo! News

A recent conveniently timed alleged gas attack on a rebel held town of Douma near Damascus in Syria that killed at least 40 and injured scores more raises a lot of questions. The most recent in a string of gas attacks in the rebel held enclave occurred after negotiations for the forced exile of tens of thousands of civilians and rebel fighters had failed.

If the alleged Syrian chemical attack play book – fabricate evidence-free claims, have corporate media push the unsubstantiated claims without question , then use the fabricated lies to illegally attack the regime you’re trying to overthrow – sounds familiar, they should. The alleged gas attack came almost a year after the chemical attack perpetrated last year by U.S. trained terrorists failed despite Washington’s best attempts at regime change while trying to frame and remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power, making it imperative to question everything, especially who benefits.

The total number of civilian casualties from the alleged attack varies from 40 to 110 depending on which propaganda outlet is pushing the as of yet unconfirmed Psyop reports demonizing Russia, Assad, and in the case of U.S. President Donald J. Trump – former President Barack Obama. The latest attack came at a time when the terrorists supported by the U.S. to overthrow Assad were being beaten badly and, in typical fashion, the attacks were strategically placed in a location full of children and cameras to conveniently capture it all, allowing the sycophantic trumpeters to falsely accuse and rattle war sabers.

U.S. SPONSORED TERRORISTS RECEIVED 20 TONS OF CHLORINE

Despite having no evidence, baseless accusations are coming fast and furious from the U.S. and its corrupt cohorts in the UK to goad an unsuspecting U.S. public into accepting false narratives that make Russia or Assad look guilty. History also has a way of repeating itself as almost a year ago the same exact type of false flag was used to justify Trump’s War Crimes in Syria when he illegally fired more than 50 Tomahawk Missiles to distract for his multitude of self-inflicted quagmires and imploding presidency at home.

Donald’s Despotic Delusions of Grandeur

Self Proclaimed King Trump from Pinterest.

President* Donald J. Trump has long admired the world’s dictators and often tries to emulate them, but his despotic delusions of grandeur will never come to fruition because he’s too incompetent and corrupt.

Ever in awe of other despots, Trump’s despotic disposition was again made evident during what was supposed to be a private meeting during his 100th golfing vacation stay during his first 406 days in office at his Mar-a-Lago resort when he learned that President Xi Jinping of China could stay in power indefinitely if his Communist Party successfully amended its Constitution to end term limits. A leaked audio recording from a private speech to donors after a Pennsylvania campaign rally revealed Trump acknowledging how great he thought Xi’s power play was and being met with raucous applause from his supporters when he lamented about giving that a shot someday.

The Donald certainly likes to bully and talk tough while trying to act authoritarian but so far – thanks in no part to the GOP-controlled Congress which keeps trying to cover up his repetitive criminal endeavors – he has been unable to actually become dictatorial because the majority that doesn’t support him as well as the states and the courts have resoundingly resisted him and his initiatives.

For Trump, losing the popular vote despite winning the Electoral College nullified the mandate that he erroneously believed he had. Trump’s ‘winning’ the election was totally unexpected for a multitude of reasons, including – but not limited to – lower Democratic voter turnout, disillusionment with America’s corrupt political system and the status quo as well as growing inequality coupled with a foolish minority entrusting a nefarious narcissist who couldn’t care less about them resulted in his victory in the 2016 election being more of a windfall than a mandate.

At What Point Does Fabricating Fake News Become Criminal?

When CA Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and his staff created a fraudulent memo – apparently in collusion with President* Donald J. Trump who has repeatedly obstructed Justice since being ‘elected’ – in efforts to ‘vindicate’ Trump in his ongoing Russia scandal and put an end to it while trying to provide cover for Trump to fire the Director of the FBI, it raises a lot of questions.

Nunes – who has since started his own fake news site – started leaking information on his ‘memo’ to Fox faux news who in turn ‘reported’ about it while trying to create a scandal that didn’t exist and pushed for the release of it, aided by millions of bots that are alleged to be of Russian origin that promulgated their fake news on Twitter, Facebook and a host of other right-wing ‘News’ sites and social media platforms to try and deflect from Trump’s failed attempts to shut down the multitude of scandals currently burning down the walls of his imploding White House. Nunes’ attempts to help Trump backfired spectacularly.

But the depths of unbridled idiocies from Trump and Nunes didn’t stop there.

Unsatisfied with one round of fake news over the dud he called a memo, despite the continuing fallout from it, Nunes created two more fake news stories that have also been repeatedly proved as nothing but fraudulent attempts to exonerate his leader. So far Trump and his propagandists are 0-for-3 in trying to kill investigations into his ongoing Russia scandal, but Nunes has hinted that he may have 5 more memos to release. It’s unknown if Trump ever colluded with Russia to be elected, but his many Obstructions of Justice are glaringly evident.

More Than $3.3B Nets Lobbyists the Best Government Money Can Buy

In their unrelenting contempt for the general population, it has become glaringly evident over the course of this past decade that the U.S. Congress has become so rife with corruption — the best government that money can buy if you lobby for a large corporation — and complete disdain for the oaths they swear to upon taking office, that America has been sold out.

Despite having about 1,500 fewer registered lobbyists in town this year, last year’s record of $3.3 billion dollars that was spent lobbying Congress and the rest of the federal government is reportedly on track to be shattered according to data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Main Street continues losing jobs while seeing little if any evidence of the economic revival the ‘experts’ continue eluding to while K Street continues raking it in. Despite his pledge to reign in lobbyists and the influence they possess in Washington, many lobbying firms escaped the worst of the economic crisis thanks to President Obama’s massive economic stimulus package that he kicked off his Presidency with.

Traditional big spenders like the real estate and telecommunications sectors, as with many other sectors, cut down on the amount of money they gave to K Street but legislation on health reform, financial reform and climate change has made up for K Street’s lost compensation during these challenging economic times.
