Last Call For Our Little White Supremacist Domestic Terrorism Problem, Con't

The Trump cultists continue to call for mass armed violence against the US government, and the loudest voices of the insurrectionists are members of the Trump family themselves.

 

Despite violent rhetoric from her family inciting the January 6th insurrection, Lara Trump suggested vigilante violence against people perceived to be from south of the southern border during a Saturday night appearance with Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro.

The former president's daughter-in-law suggested residents of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California should arm themselves and prepare for violence.

"And I don't know what you tell the people that live at the southern border," she said. "I guess they better arm up and get guns and be ready — and maybe they're going to have to start taking matters into their own hands."


She went on to say people shouldn't not make the "dangerous" journey to America despite the right of asylum being guaranteed by U.S. and international law.
 
Calls for bloody, lethal armed violence against immigrants are the central tenet of the right-wing "replacement theory" that Democrats are allowing "illegals" into the country in order to take jobs, cast votes, and to "outbreed" white Trump voters.  FOX News tumor Tucker Carlson spouts his hateful rhetoric about this five days a week, while plenty of Republicans casually parrot this notion that immigrants, particularly coming over the US Southern border, need to be gunned down.

It's all related. The GOP tantrums over "Critical Race Theory", the replacement nonsense, the open carry firearms provisions in states, the election law changes to allow Republicans to nullify Democratic victories, states now suing the Biden administration for hundreds of billions in order to build a border wall, all of it is in service of a Republican party now wholly dedicated to the last gasps of preserving white supremacy in America.

When you realize that everything the GOP does is in service to maintaining white supremacy in America, it all makes sense. That includes setting up Joe Biden as a race traitor and increasingly calling for violence against the government he leads, and against the people who voted for that government.
