In two days we will final\u00adly find out what degree of pow\u00ader the Racism, Rape and Trea\u00adson Par\u00adty will exer\u00adcise in the Unit\u00aded States for the next four years. It\u2019s plain that they will not win the Pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adcy \u2014 patri\u00adot\u00adic Amer\u00adi\u00adcans have sensed an immi\u00adnent threat to the coun\u00adtry, and are turn\u00ading out in record num\u00adbers to defend it \u2014 but what real\u00adly mat\u00adters is whether or not the RR<\/span>&<\/span>T (Repub\u00adli\u00adcan) Par\u00adty will retain con\u00adtrol of the House of Rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtives. A gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of sys\u00adtem\u00adat\u00adic vot\u00ader sup\u00adpres\u00adsion and dis\u00adtrict ger\u00adry\u00adman\u00adder\u00ading has allowed the Repub\u00adli\u00adcans to con\u00adtrol the House, repeat\u00aded\u00adly hold\u00ading the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple to ran\u00adsom and obstruct\u00ading any kind of ratio\u00adnal admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion. If they retain this pow\u00ader, there will be four years of relent\u00adless obstruc\u00adtion of the kind that Amer\u00adi\u00adcans have become accus\u00adtomed to in the last eight years. Repub\u00adli\u00adcans have no claim to being patri\u00adots: the well-being of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple will always be the last thing they are con\u00adcerned with. They are dri\u00adven by a total\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy that has fused old\u00ader ele\u00adments orig\u00adi\u00adnat\u00ading in Amer\u00adi\u00adca with Com\u00admu\u00adnism and Fas\u00adcism import\u00aded from Europe. Those who delude them\u00adselves into think\u00ading that Don\u00adald Trump is some sort of aber\u00adra\u00adtion in his par\u00adty need to wake up. Trump is the nat\u00adur\u00adal, log\u00adi\u00adcal and inevitable con\u00adse\u00adquence of Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy in exact\u00adly the same way that Stal\u00adin was the nat\u00adur\u00adal, log\u00adi\u00adcal and inevitable con\u00adse\u00adquence of Marx\u00adist ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy. Every\u00adthing that Trump has done in this elec\u00adtion is some\u00adthing that the Repub\u00adli\u00adcan Par\u00adty has done before, every slo\u00adgan he shouts and every slimy tac\u00adtic he employs are straight out of the long-term Repub\u00adli\u00adcan play\u00adbook. Trump will prob\u00ada\u00adbly not suc\u00adceed in his dream of destroy\u00ading Amer\u00adi\u00adca and turn\u00ading it into a sleazy, Putin-KGB style dic\u00adta\u00adtor\u00adship, but the Repub\u00adli\u00adcan Par\u00adty will not stop their ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal cru\u00adsade with his fail\u00adure, and their ambi\u00adtion is exact\u00adly the same as Trump\u2019s. They will keep on try\u00ading. Amer\u00adi\u00adcans will not be safe from the specter of tyran\u00adny until the Repub\u00adli\u00adcan Par\u00adty is com\u00adplete\u00adly erased from their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

This does not mean that the Demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adic Par\u00adty is any\u00adthing admirable. It has absorbed most of the creepy ele\u00adments of Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy. The Clin\u00adton admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion of the 1990s adopt\u00aded most of Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive crack\u00adpot eco\u00adnom\u00adic the\u00ado\u00adry. Its repeal of the Glass-Stea\u00adgall Act<\/em> and pass\u00ading of the Com\u00admod\u00adi\u00adty Futures Mod\u00adern\u00adiza\u00adtion Act<\/em> laid the ground\u00adwork for the sub\u00adse\u00adquent Repub\u00adli\u00adcan glob\u00adal reces\u00adsion. Hilary Clin\u00adton is not the demon she is por\u00adtrayed as, but she clear\u00adly rep\u00adre\u00adsents the oli\u00adgarchi\u00adcal and Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive ele\u00adments of the Demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adic Par\u00adty, and can\u00adnot be depend\u00aded on to do any\u00adthing to lessen the pow\u00ader of the rich, which is the can\u00adcer eat\u00ading away at Amer\u00adi\u00adca. But there is a great dif\u00adfer\u00adence between a cor\u00adrupt, aging aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic regime and a dynam\u00adic total\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan move\u00adment. The Romanov monar\u00adchy and the shaky Weimar Repub\u00adlic were not any\u00adthing to boast of, but the Com\u00admu\u00adnist and Nation\u00adal Social\u00adist dic\u00adta\u00adtor\u00adships that dis\u00adplaced them were a thou\u00adsand times more hor\u00adri\u00adble. The Repub\u00adli\u00adcan Par\u00adty embraces and pro\u00admotes such a men\u00adac\u00ading total\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy, and has been work\u00ading away dili\u00adgent\u00adly to impose it on Amer\u00adi\u00adca. Like all such ide\u00adolo\u00adgies, Con\u00adser\u00advatism chan\u00adnels the ener\u00adgies and resent\u00adments of dis\u00adparate groups, gives them scape\u00adgoats to hate, and employs a mish-mosh of con\u00adtra\u00addic\u00adto\u00adry slo\u00adgans, pro\u00adpa\u00adgan\u00adda lies, and pseu\u00addo-intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal argu\u00adments that can be deployed or negat\u00aded at any time. But the under\u00adly\u00ading prin\u00adci\u00adple is straight\u00adfor\u00adward: if the Leader enters the room, get down on your hands and knees and suck his dick. There is real\u00adly noth\u00ading else to it. View\u00ading any ten minute seg\u00adment of a Trump ral\u00adly makes this per\u00adfect\u00adly clear. It\u2019s an ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy for sniv\u00adel\u00adling cow\u00adards. But there are a lot of sniv\u00adel\u00adling cow\u00adards out there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
