House Democrats were briefed on 3 terrifying plots to overthrow the government.

One plot includes surrounding the Capitol and murdering Democrats to allow Republicans to take control of the government.

Capitol Police have notified Democrats about violent, potentially deadly demonstrations that are being organized following last week’s riot.

One proposed demonstration aims to be the “largest armed protest” in American history.

Another is being organized to honor the memory of Ashli Babbit, who was shot dead after attempting to break into the Speaker’s Lobby.

The most worrisome plot involves insurrectionists creating a perimeter around the Capitol grounds, then blocking and/or killing Democrats in an effort to put Republicans in control of the government.

I feel that way more than ever now.

Good, hard working, SANE and “parotitic” WHITE Americans MUST do what they know is the right thing to do. No longer do they get to pretend that they DON’T SEE what is clearly right in front of ALL Our eyes. No longer do they get to pretend they don’t HEAR what we all hear. Nope.

They CAN’T run. They CAN’T hide.

This time, they MUST confront their White brethren in a fight for this land and this democracy they claim to love so dear.

Warnock also quoted a passage from Frederick Douglass’s “West India Emancipation” speech delivered at Canandaigua, New York, Aug. 3, 1857:

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

On August 3, 1857, Frederick Douglass delivered a “West India Emancipation” speech at Canandaigua, New York, on the twenty-third anniversary of the event. Most of the address was a history of British efforts toward emancipation as well as a reminder of the crucial role of the West Indian slaves in that own freedom struggle. However shortly after he began Douglass sounded a foretelling of the coming Civil War when he uttered two paragraphs that became the most quoted sentences of all of his public orations. They began with the words, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

Great job answering this question DJ. The entire post is dead on in your breakdown and analysis. And of course you’re correct…”It’s ALL OF THE ABOVE.”

Btw- Recently, Rev. Warnock (Senate-elect Raphael Warnock from the great state of GA) explained what we’re witnessing by using descriptive words I had heard expressed by my beloved (late) grandmother more than a few times when I was growing up (she was also born and raised in GA).

Paraphrasing: When you cut off the head of a snake its body will continue to thrash around widely….for awhile. NOT because it’s living. But because It’s Dying. 

I would posit that the twin-headed snake of Jim Crow and White privilege built on the LIE of White supremacy is Dying in America. The body will continue thrashing about violently for awhile. But eventually it will die.
