Conservatives are full of shame. Rather than deal/process the shame, they convert it to hate.

They punch down, they drag others to feel better about themselves.

The hate is so much a part of their white identity, they must negate all black humanity [and black excllence] to perpetuate their insecurities and bigotries.

Learn about their past? No way. Negate it.

Also Republicans: we are the victims of racism.

Republicans have perfected performative politics and grandstanding. Anything to avoid change. Anything to insulate whiteness.

They know what they are. They know how to be silent in the face of injustice.

We are country under the abuse of capitalism.

Some of us want out of the relationship, while others can’t quit their codependency with capitalism’s racism, misogyny, and greed.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

While I agree that some of us on the lower economic rungs need more government assistance, this cartoonist is one of the very far right wing that hammers Biden for any spending to help people.  So I have to ask why is the cartoonist trying to have it both ways, and the answer is just to have something to attack Biden with.   It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t match the other attacks on Biden, for the right wing the point is the attack.   Scottie

This cartoon shows how little the right cares about truth or reality.    Everything mentioned here is incorrect and a lie.   Not that the right wing cult followers care.   The puppy attack was proven false, the NIH did not pay for the part of the study with the puppies heads in flea tanks.  In fact the NIH tried hard to get that part of the study illuminated, backing out of the study when they were ignored.   He never lied to congress.   The people accusing him of that are not qualified to make that charge.   Oh yes they claim they are, just as Hannity and Tucker claim they are qualified to assess Covid treatments and vaccines, but they are not.   Scientists have reviewed the charges and the studies involved and they say it is not a gain of function advance the US part paid for.   Some one else may have done it, but the US did not pay for it as Rand Paul charges so he can fund raise off it.     The right wing media has ginned up outrage and attacks Dr. Fauci because they can not attack the science and protective measures he presents and advocates for.  If you can not attack the message, they want to kill the messenger.   Scottie

Great gravy the right wing would love that.   They are struggling to attack Biden on real issues.  Oh well they plan to steal the future elections anyway, and claim any election they lost were stolen from them.   In Florida the Republican lost and the Democrat won by a nearly 80% margin, yet the Republican refused to concede, and started claiming the election was rigged and stolen.   The Republican play book is to call any election they lose stolen and illegitimate.   For them and their members only Republicans can be elected fairly, only when they win is the election legitimate.  That is not democracy.  Scottie

Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons Comic Strip for January 18, 2022

  As we prepare to face the twin disasters of record-low unemployment and all-but-record-high job growth, Al Goldwyn trembles in fear. 

President Biden has made sure vaccines are available for everyone in the USA. Mask mandates have been made difficult to impossible by Republican political hack judges on the Supreme Court. Deathsantis in Florida and other Governors in ‘Red’ states have all but guaranteed the death of many of their constituents.   It’s deplorable that the Republicans do everything they can do to encourage their voters not to wear masks and get vaccinated, then have the audacity to blame Biden for the decisions they made? Pathetic.   tRump murdered nearly 700,000 Americans through his incompetent handling of the pandemic. A pandemic he worsened. Biden has deal with a majority of Americans who wear masks and get vaccinated AND the idiot tRumpanzees (who are the ones dying in the hospitals).   Scottie

  1. Hi Scottie;
    In all seriousness, how is a country to come back from the brink and from the risk of future coup attempts perpetrated by a political party that controls an effective half of the country? The Supreme Court, expected to be a non-political entity, is not objective as seen by direct family member of one of the justices and the court stacked with questionable justices; the congress is not objective in every obvious manner they could demonstrate; the military is not objective as current and former flag rank personnel have shown their leanings. What is left? Maybe we have the NFL loan us some referee’s over the summer?
    To be quite frank, while I knew he was horrible right from the start I had absolutely no idea just how f’d we would be when trump was not booted for being the obvious joke he was. He began his campaign by declaring that there was no way he could lose except he be cheated, had high ranking advisors acting as foreign state advocates, flirting with other foreign states like a high school whore in a cheap prom, and no one of power shut him down. We should have known a coup would be his only recourse…. even The Simpson’s predicted his devastation upon our country. Yet we all assumed somehow that the ties that make our country wouldn’t let it go too far.
    So… now begs the question: How far is too far to come back from?

    1. Hello Brother. As normal you offer a well thought out grand analysis of the situation. Your point of no one in power shut him down at the start is the one of the important keys of this. Our founding fathers never thought they would see the level of corruption we have today in our elected leaders. They were passionate in the ideals of the country. They never realized how easily the people getting elected could be bought, and in fact wanted to be bought. The leaders of this country went from being idealist to being oligarchs. As for the checks against the powers, the last check was to be the people. At the start it was just white male landowners which lead to the oligarchy I mentioned before, but the people did not check tRump. It started before tRump. I was listening to the killing of the era in the south and the Republicans did it by appealing to southern women that their way of life would be destroyed, even though it was a lie the women bought it. The misleading right wing media has been pumping out full steam ahead misinformation to the point that they have convinced generations that their very survival depends on voting Republican and giving all your money to the wealthy. Now when the people want to act they find they cannot because the Republicans have barricaded the system so well it cannot be breached. Scottie
