This corrupt and felonious administration with actively racist plans and policies are not even pretending any more. The pretty boy entertainment show host (Hegseth) who, despite being completely lacking in qualifications and was appointed to lead the Defense Department (a clear DEI hire in support of less qualified white men over better qualified people of every color and background)... THAT pervert has put up a larger than life-sized painting of the racist, slave-owning traitor, "general" RE Lee at West Point. The cowardly pissant who killed and slaughtered to protect slavery is even WORSE because, if you believe his writings, he recognized the evil of slavery. WHILE he owned slaves.
This is yet another clear effort to indoctrinate and brainwash military students into supporting racist, slavery-defending traitors and to whitewash history even more.
It's NOT OKAY to promote traitors to our nation who fought to kill hundreds of thousands of loyal US citizens as acceptable role models, WHILE at the same time, dictating to our museums and other actually expert historians and scholars that they must downplay how evil slavery was.
* Slavery IS, always was and always will be a great evil.
* Robt E Lee was a traitor responsible for the deaths of thousands of US citizens and the slaves they fought to keep enslaved.
* The confederacy was a traitorous endeavor, built on the twin evils of slavery and racism.
* The confederacy was a traitorous endeavor, built on the twin evils of slavery and racism.
* They WERE the bad guys in this story.
Here, there be monsters.
Look, at this point, it's a given that some large portion (majority) of so-called "conservatives" have abandoned ANY point of decency, morality, reason and intelligence and sold their souls the the idiot pervert who conned willing idiots into putting him in office. Twice. There is no indecency he/they can't commit, no vulgar depths they won't wallow in, no end to the number of women they'll openly rape and prey upon (laughing about how their white privilege keeps them safe), no end to attacks on actual states' rights, no end to fiscal irresponsibility, no end to the defense and fangirl crushing on actual dictators and murderers... there is nothing these deviants can do to stir up a rebellion from the vast majority of conservatives, including the religionists.
The question then remains, what can the 50-65% (?) of the rest of us do to stop them?
To begin with: Resist.

Marshal, truly, just don't bother. Short of surprising me with an admission that this is an evil affront to decency, you'll not have anything factual, wise or helpful to say.
Traitors are traitors are traitors. Until they repent, they remain traitors.
And here, I'm not talking about the Pervert, Lee.
Trump loves liars of all kinds. He prefers them and gives them all opportunities.
“ The day after President Trump announced the federal takeover of law enforcement in Washington, the White House invited the podcaster Benny Johnson to sit in what is called the new media seat at the administration’s press briefing. The privilege includes being called on first by the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
Mr. Johnson took the opportunity at the briefing to recount what he claimed was his own experience with crime in the nation’s capital in recent years. He said that he had recorded murders on a camera outside his home, and that his “house was set ablaze in an arson.” Any claims that Washington wasn’t dangerous, he said, were “lies.”
“Thank you for making this city safe, because no parent should have to go through what my family went through,” Mr. Johnson told Ms. Leavitt.
In fact, police records show, nobody has been murdered since at least 2017 on the block where Mr. Johnson lived in Washington. And his home was not burned, though his next-door neighbor’s house was “intentionally set” on fire, according to the city’s fire department. Mr. Johnson left Washington permanently in 2021.”
Trump is the most pathetic thing we’ve ever had in the White House
It's just sad what the GOP has become (not that it was great, before) and how impotent the Democrats have been in stopping it. In the Democrats' defense, the MAGA world has demonstrated what grifters and fascists have long known and demonstrated:
If you throw thousands of lies and fearmongering attacks out there and keep doing it, it's hard for decent people to fight that, as there is a certain number of people who will accept the lies, no matter how ridiculously false and dangerous and immoral/irrational.
IMHO, we are not in a political battle between parties. This is much more existential to who we are becoming as a national society which has its consequences of the body politic. We are reckoning with the whole of our 400 year history - almost entirely the project of a nation creation via the dispossession of the Other of land, labor, their very limbs and lives and loved ones - and the creation over that time of the fake identity of Whiteness.
For 3/4 of our existence the protestant Scot, German, Scandinavian, and Dutch, along with the Catholic Irish and Italian, weren’t allowed to be White. Not until the children of salves poured north in the largest in-country flight from terror in the history of the world.
We are at the tipping point of recognizing the fact that we are, altogether and all together, an unconscious unity of Western Hemisphere people: our DNA and regional cultures a miscegenated amalgam from the three Eastern continents.
But we are becoming conscious now. Of what so-called “White” people have kept hidden from ourselves and from the public square. Our destiny is equal citizenship for all. Only then will be born as a nation in this hemisphere.
Politics are failing until we are truly awake.
Marshal, in an ultra-explicitly, misogynistic and vulgar frothing comment (now deleted for obvious reasons), has lost any sense of decency and reason he may have had. Marshal, you can't engage in that sort of talk here. Now, be a good man, apologize and go away. Failing that, just go away.
In his comment, one of the few non-vulgar lines he said was:
There's no "affront to decency" by restoring RE Lee to the array of military leaders of our country, even though he fought for his state.
RE Lee, who turned traitor to his nation
to defend the enslaving of human beings
and led in a violent uprising that killed hundreds of thousands of US citizens...
That cowardly traitor and depraved slaver is NOT IN the "array of military leaders in our nation." He was a traitor to OUR nation and allied with the rebels to kill innocent civilians in their depraved fight to defend slavery.
Lee is no more an honorable soldier/general than Hermann Göring or Himmler. When one allies with the overtly evil side in a fight to defend oppression and genocide, one surrenders the expectation to be honored for their military prowess (if they have any).
This is one of the problems with MAGA world: Y'all still don't recognize the reality of the traitorous actions of the "confederacy," which was just a murderous cabal of outlaws and cowards who only lasted a few years before they were snuffed out by the actual good guys in this story (with said "good guys" being often terribly flawed, as well).
Quit aligning with villains and pretending they are due ANY respect.
You have to wonder what goes through their minds to justify people who actually were slavers and fighting for slavery, who were overtly racist (which was probably most white people on any side back then, to be fair), who waged war against their own nation and killed hundreds of thousands of people in their fight to defend slavery and racism... what "culture" are they fighting to defend?
I mean, if you don't want to be considered overtly racist in a KKK kind of way, don't support their causes and heroes
Speaking for myself, I don’t even support the wanton destruction of the fetus.
Marshal and the Thugs have loved lies so long, they’ve lost the trail of truth. In fact, they’ve needed the lies to lose the trail of truth.
The objection of right thinking christians is
1. abortion cannot be stopped by taking away the inalienable right to one’s own body from 1/2 of the population. That’s just replacing a moral crisis with a crime against humanity. Idiots and ragingly mad ideologues use their Will to refuse to see that truth. Which is what Augustine, Aquinas, and the whole sweep of Christian theology calls a sin.
2. making abortion illegal doesn’t stop it.
3. those who want to make it illegal contribute less than 0.01% of the funds needed to take of the unwanted children they claim they care about.
4. preaching wholesale abstinence fails every time. Millions drank their way through prohibition and backroom power brokers made huge money.
5. the only truly broad spread policy that markedly reduces abortion is pregnancy prevention. And the only package if policy proven to dramatically reduce abortion is
a) graduated sex education for all students. btw, this also dramatically reduces sexually transmitted disease (as if Marshal and the rest of the Thugs care at all.)
b) free access to non-drug contraception.
c) affordable/free access to all OB/Gyn healthcare services to girls and women. Anyone who cares about the health of children inescapably has to care about the health of the mother.
These and only these policies are effective in large scale. These and only these policies reflect human rights. These and only these policies care for the choice and protection of conception.
Instead of admitting what’s true, the Thugs run a deflection/diversion/lying game, because they are committed to ghoulish ideologies of the
murderous Christian 17th century.
Which is also revealed in the fact that they don’t care that 7.1 million human beings have died of Covid. 7.1 million would have been 100 million but for the quick introduction and worldwide distribution of vaccines.
But the ghoulish Thugs urged denial of vaccines. Because they love death.
They don’t have words for it because their thrill for blood and judgment darkens their minds, but their faith impels them to believe that those who don’t contribute much to economies should live in soul choking squalor and die… because they see God as a big White Capitalist. And they voted for his incarnate Son. Never mind the 6 bankruptcies the felon has used to offload debt.
btw, it was when I was laying out the truths on abortion that Marshal and Craig started deleting my comments and then blocking me.
They can’t have any light shining in their darkness
And, btw, we see just this past week a Thug not minding a few childrens’ murder and victimhood. Craig hates seeing Democrat policy makers crying for gun reduction policies. Apparently, we are such a desultory society that when and where our children are murdered can never be the last straw in not accepting guns and death. Do it only in policy debate. Outrage at society for wanton death is not the polite place. His laughable back-up “logic” is that if Democratic politicians cannot appear and preach gun control at EVERY shooting, then they should not appear and preach at any. He had zero ability to discern how callous and fake that sounds.
“The Constitution protects gun ownership!” The Bill of Rights protects bodily autonomy - “no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty”.
“We want to deprive women of life and liberty in order to save the fetus!”
We want to strictly control guns in order to save children and masses of people.
The ghoulish Thugs do everything to ensure death.
