Midnight Meme Of The Day! Another Republican Calls For A Bloodbath

by Noah

Right, I said "another." I said it simply because Traitor Trump isn't the first prominent Republican to call for a bloodbath when it comes to dealing with those who stand against them. I'm old enough to remember when a Republican governor of California, Ronald Reagan, called for a bloodbath on college campuses as students protested against the Vietnam War. He got his wish when Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew saw Reagan's proposal as a winning issue with conservative voters and doubled down on the idea at Jackson State in Mississippi and Kent State in Ohio. I still remember how, after the four students were murdered at Kent State, Republicans made a national ritual and mantra of flashing four fingers as they screamed "Four more!" and "Four is not enough!" Reagan ended up being canonized into sainthood by his party. This is how they think.

Now, in 2024, the Republican Party has pushed another leader to the front to deliver the same party message: Donald Trump, the monstrosity whose career they have saved and supported time and time again says there will be a bloodbath if he is not reelected to the White House. He says reelected but, of course he means reinstalled which is the word he has used far, far more often. That, too, is a Republican mantra, as they insist that he already was reelected and we should have listened to the crackhead that sells cheap pillows and the demented drunk who used to be the mayor of NYC, and all the rest of the like-minded treason-steeped party luminaries. 

"Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole--- that's going to be the least of it, It's going to be a bloodbath for the country. That'll be the least of it."

Trump and his ever-growing legions of apologists are now claiming that the above quote from his latest weekend rally is all a "hoax." Yeah, a hoax just like COVID, the 2020 election of Joe Biden, global warming, each of two impeachment hoaxes, "Russia, Russia, Russia" and on and on. To Trump and his party of lackeys, anything that might throw a bad light on him is a hoax and this time it's the above quote. As soon as it spewed out of his reeking piehole, the party machine saw it as troublesome and sprang into action to minimize the danger to their beloved, and many in the so-called mainstream media are buying it, at least publicly. The Trump fan club is facetiously saying he was just talking about automobile tariffs but the truth is the context of the man saying what was said matters big time. Trump, the Orange Menace To Society, has always been very good at cloaking a signal he wants to send out by surrounding it with other subjects. The fact that he twice stressed his bloodbath with the phrase "the least of it" gives his meaning, state of mind, purpose, whatever you want to call it, away. And you can be sure that many of his goons out in America are "standing back" and "standing by" again for just the right moment. Remember that one? He blew it off by saying he had no idea who or what the Proud Boys were. Or, how about when he claimed to not know anything about David Duke, the KKK, or white supremacy? This latest Trump controversy is exactly Trump's m.o.

So, like I said, this isn't the first time for this kind of thing. It's Republican Party 101. Perhaps Traitor Don just wanted to remind us that he had exhorted his bloodthirsty minions into the Capitol Building. "Fight like hell," he said to his red-hatted mob, and they did, breaking bones, gouging eyes, maiming 150 cops and security people whose crime in Republican eyes was and is the defense of democracy itself. They even killed a cop and drove others to suicide from the horror and terror of the day. Trump got a mob to act in the name of his party and, more importantly to him, his name, and this time, he's sending his perversion of the bat signal out again, this time well before the election. He knows the party faithful will do his bidding again. They all know, not least of all Moscow Mitch McConnell who made extra sure that his Dear Leader was still around to do it again and maybe even finish the job. Can you say "Putin's Bitch?"

And another big Fuck You to Merrick Garland and the Special Celebrity Unit of his DOJ who, all too predictably have dragged their feet on the very idea of bringing this monster to justice and thus enabling more to mayhem come. But, haven't I always said that Washington takes care of its own?
