Georgia fascists – not the former Soviet republic
(which is objectively less fascist than the American state of the same name) –
under the ill-gotten leadership of Gov. Brian Kemp passed an omnibus bill
transparently aimed at intimidating and disenfranchising Black Georgians. The bill
was rushed through the Ratpublican-majority state senate in less than a day,
and immediately signed into law the Ratpublican governor.
After the secret, male-whites-only signing
ceremony, Kemp went full Orwell, claiming that the new laws clearly designed to
cut the legs out from under Georgia’s Black electorate would make voting much
easier. Shortly before these racist laws were signed into law, President Joe
Biden commented on Georgia’s new laws, “What I’m worried about is how un-American
this initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick…The Republican voters I know find this
despicable.”
Ratpublicans across the country are flexing
their anti-democratic muscles with new legislation to squash the ability of
Black Americans to vote. Georgians have just made it illegal, among other blatantly
racist, draconian measures, to provide food or water for people waiting in line
(sometimes for up to 10 hours) to vote. And why, you might ask, are so many
people waiting so long to vote? Because Georgia has continuously made it harder
to vote by shuttering polling locations. And where, you might ask, are most of
these polling places closed, and the consequent ridiculously long lines to be
found? Mostly in heavily Black districts.
To be fair, Ratpublicans
in Georgia just had their fat, white asses handed to them – losing the 2020
presidential election, and then losing their two senate seats to a Black man
and a Jewish man. Kemp who “defeated” Stacey Abrams in 2018 by purging tens of
thousands of Black voters knows that the only way Georgia can possibly stem the
Blue Tsunami overtaking their electorate is to stop as many Black people from
voting as possible.
Compare this to the initial response to the brutal
terrorist insurrection at the nation’s Capital on January 6th by
mentally defective white people at the behest of the president they worshiped. Most
of the traitors were permitted to simply leave the scene of the crime and
return to their homes – some of them to clear their homes of amassed weapons in
case authorities happened to come after them some day. Many of the white
attackers were released from custody, one permitted to travel to Mexico while
awaiting trial. Lucky for them they were not a Black woman politely knocking on
a door.
*Orval Faubus,
Democratic Governor of Arkansas from 1955 to 1967, refused to comply with a
unanimous Supreme Court decision in the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education
and subsequently ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent black students
from attending Little Rock Central High School.
In Other News Of Sociopathic Racists…
Disgraced, Twice-Impeached-One-Term-Ex-president Whatsizname,
never one to pass up an opportunity to show off his psychotic chops, told Fux
News’ Laura Ingraham, “It was zero threat, right from the start; it was zero
threat. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and
the guards... a lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and
they walked out…They’re persecuting a lot of those people.”
So much hugging, kissing and
winning
I. Mangrey for a change.
