The Maddog got mad at Trump and said a word or two. Abbott got mad at racist party chairs and wants them to resign. Suddenly, they get the hero worship as if words change anything.
James Mattis was at the forefront of pushing Trump’s military border deployment in support of the “remain in mexico” policy. When Mattis finally left, he went back to the board of directors of General Dynamics which has made billions of dollars off of the warehousing of children and mothers put into baby and family jails. Not to mention the whole war-complex. Where was the outrage, then?
Abbott and his ilk should enjoy the fruits of the labor put in by these racist party chairs. Thus far, party chairs in at least three counties have put out statements or memes that are pretty racist. That doesn’t shock me because that is what got them elected to their positions. And Abbott and his friends are in office because of these bigots.
Call it the KKK, the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, the Tea Party, MAGA, throughout GOP history, things have not changed and the GOP and everyone elected by them have prospered and enriched themselves because of them. Now, it’s a problem?
Here’s how I see it.
Too many people are attempting to find victory in a Republican Party that has forever shown its hate for color. Whether it’s racist comments, the defense of killer cops, domestic and foreign policy unfriendly to brown and black people, little brown kids in cages, or defending at its core a racist capitalist system from which they benefit, this is the GOP. The problem is that words don’t change anything. Firing a racist in a volunteer position doesn’t do anything to change racist systems.
As I’ve always said, Democrats need to stop wasting time trying to save the republican party for the sole reason that they want someone with whom to fight. Kinder, less racist systems are still racist systems. Let them destroy themselves. Besides, Democrats still have work to do, too.
