Omicron’s ripping through America (especially in red/purple states) because refusing masks/vaccines/lockdowns has become a proxy for White Republican identity. They’re peer pressuring themselves into catching/spreading Covid, overdosing on Ivermectin and dying of Whiteness. Image

“White Americans are also suffering, but the perception that the coronavirus is largely a black and brown problem licenses elites to dismiss its impact.” - @AdamSerwer h/t @ericlo #DyingOfWhiteness #Sadopopulism101 #SouthernStrategy101 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“That more and more Americans were dying was less important than who was dying.” - @AdamSerwer

So much so that as their base increasingly succumbs to the virus they were made to believe is a hoax, the @GOP’s rendered itself powerless to stop the bleeding. #ProLifeIsALie 🤡🩸👹 ImageImageImageImage
The article calls it a “culture of self reliance” but it could just as easily be described as “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” culture, courtesy of the @GOP. They rob their voters of everything then shame/propagandize them out of seeking restitution. “Let them eat COVID”.
If “all lives matter” and the @GOP is really “pro-life” why do they shamelessly preside over a COVID-19 epidemic amongst *their* White voters fueled by *their* fiscal malfeasance, fuckery of Obamacare and collusion with Big Putin, Trump, FB/Fox “News” & the Ivermectin lobby? 🤷🏾‍♀️
Reality: the wave of hostility under Trump has made us sick. 👹🤡🩸
The dots aren’t hard to connect here. Predominantly White people who live in rural America religiously vote for Republicans who in turn worsen their socioeconomic woes, give them unfettered access to COVID-19, then look the other way when they die of despair. Sociopathy.

“The anxiety of whites is coming from a misperception that their dominant status in society is being threatened, which is manifesting in multiple forms of psychological and physiological stress….the stress has resulted in what researchers call "deaths of despair." #MAGAMasochism Image
“White supremacy will NOT disarm itself.” - Propane Jane, 10/2/17
IOW, White Republicans were gifted a head start on saving themselves from the worst of COVID by virtue of its debut in urban metros & their segregation in the burbs/rural outposts of 🇺🇸, yet they squandered it on the “strength” of eugenic magical thinking/presumed invincibility.
The MAGAts were explicitly warned that Pleasantville USA doesn’t have the medical infrastructure or competent leadership to withstand a raging pandemic, but NO, they wanted bad hair cuts, motorcycle/DT/Klan rallies, open restaurants/bars/schools, sporting events & a RAPTURE. 👹🤡
“And while for much of the pandemic, older Americans and people of color were more likely to die from the virus, the demographics of those dying from Covid have shifted too, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” - @nytimes nytimes.com/interactive/20… ImageImageImageImage
“The change in death rates among groups is starker by race and ethnicity, and the death rate has risen particularly sharply for middle-aged white people. Covid-19 now accounts for a much larger share of all deaths for that group than it did before vaccines were widely available.” ImageImageImageImage

Reality is the predominantly rural & suburban White Texans who keep electing Republicans aren’t actually winning anything but the freedom to die of Whiteness without interference from a functional social safety net. Their electoral “victory” ultimately amounts to self-sabotage. Image
They’re gonna keep killing themselves with guns, drugs/alcohol & science denial and the folk they just elected will keep not giving a fuck. Their kids will remain uneducated, unmotivated & uncompetitive and the wages of Whiteness won’t be enough to sustain them or turn the tide.
Also their feigned religiosity isn’t ever gonna save them from the consequences of their disastrous political choices. Their family systems are in a shambles and there aren’t enough behavioral health providers or community resources to clean up the endless messes they’re making.

FYI the reason why the usual suspects are so busy trying to stir up shit betwixt and against Black & Jewish ppl is b/c we’re the 1st & 2nd most reliable Democratic voting blocs & the midterm election’s quickly approaching. Intersectionality is OUR POWER. pewresearch.org/religion/2021/…
Matter of fact, it was this same intersectionality & solidarity in the fight for civil rights (and against White supremacy) that fueled passage of the CRA in the aftermath of the “Mississippi Burning” murders of 1964. It’s a bond solidified by trauma. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_o…
Bonus points if you’ve already connected the dots between the heinous killing of Black & Jewish civil rights workers in 1964 and the Mississippi location Reagan *intentionally hand-picked* for the launch of his racist ass presidential campaign in 1979… #SouthernStrategy101

Don’t be surprised or deterred by the fact that Republicans would rather double down on paranoid, persecutory delusions than face their own culpability in Trump’s criminality. Their entire platform is rooted in feigned victimhood, evasion of consequences and blatant lies. Image
The GOP’s had ample opportunity to throw Trump under the bus yet they refuse to do it b/c 1) they’re all partners in crime who are covering each other’s asses and 2) their base is too propagandized and rabid to back away from the ledge. Faced with facts, they retreat to fantasy. Image
It isn’t breaking news that when they can’t successfully self-soothe in the Fox fantasy bubble, they resort to threatening/inciting violence. We’ve all seen this tantrum b4 & it STILL isn’t a valid excuse for letting anyfuckingbody off the hook for crimes against our democracy.

Translation: despite the urgency of beating back GOP fascism/treason, a lot of White Independents & “moderates” would STILL rather pine away for an imaginary coalition they don’t have the numbers to build than join a *multicultural* coalition that successfully elects Democrats.
Ever notice how they wait til the last 3-9 months before an election to decide they’re suddenly so dissatisfied with the menu options that they’d risk an alternative path that’ll most assuredly result in further dystopian bullshit at the hands of the GOP/White voting majority? 🧐
It’d be different if they’d spent the last ~22 years since the robbery-in-broad-daylight 2000 election building the infrastructure & electoral track record of a viable 3rd party but NO. Instead they’ve become spiteful spoilers who spew shit from the sidelines and enable the GOP.

Because the base of the Democratic Party’s been Black voters for the last 60 years, so just as Black people have always been held to blatant double standards that our White counterparts aren’t, the Democratic Party’s always a convenient scapegoat while the GOP gets away w/murder.
IOW, instead of holding the White voting majority accountable for repeatedly electing Republicans thereby enabling austerity/patriarchy/theocracy/fascism, they blame the Democratic Party for not being powerful enough to undo the damage without ANY help from the White majority.
They literally do this every election season b/c their fuckery is predicated on convincing enough voters (mostly White ones) that Democrats are too feckless, ignorant & mistrusted to win their votes. They claim both sides are the same b/c fascism poses no imminent threat to them.

The Police Timeline of the Texas School Shooting Has a Lot of Holes | via @VICENews h/t @ItsKey_70sbaby #PunIntended #GunReformNow #WhenGoodGuysWithGunsGoWrong vice.com/en/article/pkp…
“Investigators ‘still grabbing’ information about Texas school shooting as families search for answers” #Uvalde #DemandReform #DemandTheTruth #DemandJustice twitter.com/i/events/15291…
“They create the conditions they lament then refuse all the viable remedies.” They put shit tons of assault weapons on the streets to justify further militarization of America’s police force, which still hasn’t demonstrated competence or capability of neutralizing mass shooters. Image
