This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

As an American, I reject the term “White Nationalist” or “Christian Nationalist” out of hand. I won’t allow them to wear their electronic media sheets and hoods, smile and say, “Oh we aren’t Neo-Nazis, We’re White Nationalists,” wink-wink. Trying to paint the old barn filled with the same old horse shit, and trying to pass it off as something new.

It’s the reason Mitch McConnell had an “Oh, shit!” moment the other day, and Mitt Romney called the Neo-Nazis inside the Republican Party… “Morons.” They seek publicity and they don’t care where they get it. They don’t take anything especially seriously, besides their own little careers. Their eagerness makes them an easy mark, and easily manipulated for another’s purposes. It’s okay to say “no” occasionally. You don’t have to appear at every dog and pony show that comes to town.

When your rhetoric is xenophobic and divisive and everyone but you friend, are out to get us. This is what happens if you leave the sugar out. You’ll get ants. This is the giant brown stain left on the mattress and left on the Republican Party, after Twumpism has shit the bed.

It would be easy enough to laugh it off, like Mitt Romney tries to do. But they aren’t “Morons,” they’re NAZIS! Dirty Fucking NAZIS! Now, I don’t hate all Nazis, just the ones still breathing. After Ms. Greene and Mr. Gosar left the stage. The squinty eyed master of (Hail Smode) ceremonies, led the crowd in a cheer for Russia and Vladimir Putin, the murderer of children and brutal aggressor.

Oh shit, indeed! Ms. Greene tried to hide behind her most obvious limitation and claimed she didn’t not know who those fucking Nazis were. She’s so stupid as to think; she can still make you believe her. Paul Gosar said nothing, and simply slid back under his rock. He’s America’s silent and unapologetic Nazi. When Gosar isn’t trying to overthrow the government or participate in Neo-Nazi Rallies, he’s pretty quiet. He’d wear mirrored sunglasses most of the time, if he thought that he could get by with it. He’s the weak and silent type.

Timing is everything and maybe it would have gone unnoticed, if Vladimir Putin hadn’t begun murdering people in Europe. As the world dances on the head of a pin, they publicly cheer for the other guy. And then the chant went up in the room, “Putin, Putin!” And this, was after the invasion of Ukraine, had already begun.

Tide won’t wash this stain out. “Good morning, Mr. and Ms. Republican! Shake hands with your new candidate. Racist, xenophobic Nazis, out to overthrow the government. End Social Security and grant ever greater tax cuts for the rich, while destroying public education. Willing to trade our environment for another quarter of growth. But we prefer to be called “White Nationalists.” Or “Christian Nationalist,” because we so love Jesus. “And those stupid suckers will send money to anybody! I mean, the faithful followers of Jesus will gladly donate to our cause, if we put “Praise the lord” on the end of every other sentence.”

I don’t fault them for being Nazis, as is their right. But if you want to be NAZI, then be a NAZI and quit trying to hide behind the language.  Admit it! You want to take your hate and rage, to the next murderous level. Ah, but you can’t do that, if the general perception of your movement is brutal and Fascist. Your only hope is to hide behind euphemisms, about the good old days or what the founding father’s really meant to say bullshit.

You won’t ever just stand up and say, “I think my White skin makes me special and superior to all others. And therefore, non-whites shouldn’t be allowed to vote.” You’ll think it, and you’ll hint at it, and you’ll even act on it, to make it so. But you ain’t got the gumption to come right out and say it. Because it sounds all  so reprehensible and depraved, sick, and twisted. What do you call that? “Woke Nazis?”

“We don’t want to hurt anyone, just cut them out of their rightful slice of the American pie. Deny them political representation. Underfund their schools and neighborhoods, leaving more tax dollars for our side of town! But we don’t want to hurt anyone. Ours is the Party of liberty and payday lenders, plasma centers and “Buy here, Pay here” car dealers and 24hr. liquor stores.”

We love America’s diversity, just not during football game half-time shows.  Why do you have to be Gay outside? Couldn’t you just be Gay in the house? The Republican Governor of Texas wants to take Transgender children away from their parents, just like the fucking Nazis! The Republican Governor of Florida wants to set up a special police force answerable only to him, just like a fucking Nazi!

“There’s no place in the Republican Party for white supremacists or anti-Semitism,” – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Oh, but you’re wrong sir. The true question is, is there any room left in the Republican Party for Mitch McConnell? The Republicans threw Liz Cheney out of her job for breaking orthodoxy, now let’s see how fast they pitch out Greene and Gosar. If they don’t throw them out of the Party. Mitch McConnell is wrong and there is plenty of room inside the Republican Party for White supremacists and anti-Semitism..

The world stands on the precipice of a world war, and potentially a nuclear war, and yet the Republican NAZIS cheer for Vladimir Putin. The Mira Lago Methuselah has led them so far down the garden path, so polluting and bastardizing their Party. Its followers no longer know which side they are on or why. They cheer for Putin and curse Joe Biden, in an un-American spectacle of hate mongering.

It bears all the hallmarks of the end of the road, running to the extremes trying to catch the last warmth of the day. No longer a political Party of ideas, only of grievances. History is the problem; Science is the problem. Books are the problem; minorities are the problem and public schools are the problem.

In all of planet Earth, only the governments of China, India and the United Arab Emirates, were unwilling to condemn Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. In this country, the Republicans not only defended it. They cheered for it. They stood and cheered for Vladimir Putin, an enemy who threatens their country and threatens the very lives of their children, and threatens the future of the world. “Let’s go Brandon!” You stupid mother fuckers.

There is nothing worse in the world than stupid Nazis or Republicans, but then, I repeat myself.
