You’re d*mn right Hillary…beginning with YOU. As I recall, it was YOUR campaign who sneakily dropped the White racist poison pill of Birtherism on the American people. Trump merely took it to a whole new level with the help of 24/7 cable news and social media on the left and right.  

And btw – we’re NOT forgetting your hubby’s role in Our history either:  

“From the crime bill to welfare reform, policies Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—decimated black America.”

“Trump should be impeached. But that alone won’t remove white supremacy from America.”

Excerpt: Wednesday’s attack on the Capitol was the tragically predictable result of white-supremacist grievances fueled by President Trump. But his departure from office, whether immediately or on Jan. 20, will not solve the deeper problems exposed by this episode. What happened is cause for grief and outrage. It should not be cause for shock. What were too often passed off as the rantings of an unfortunate but temporary figure in public life are, in reality, part of something much bigger. That is the challenge that confronts us all…  

But it is not enough to scrutinize — and prosecute — the domestic terrorists who attacked our Capitol. We all need to do some soul-searching of our own. – Hillary Clinton, Washington Post, Jan. 11, 2021

How those two Evils have driven everything from the start:

The geocide of native Americans to STEAL their land. Slavery. The first Civil War and the deliberate dismantling of Reconstruction following that war. Jim Crow and the rise of the Klan. The Civil Rights Movement, the assassinations of its leaders. The backlash to the election and re-election of the first African American president in U.S. history, which struck FEAR and anger in the hearts and minds of white racists who ran to the temple of Trump. Their MAGA savior.

I thought about the “Evil Genius” of the “excessive power granted to big business starting in the 1970s” to serve the interest of Only the rich from that point on, no matter the consequences.    

Add to all that – the tremendous advancement of information technology which led to 24/7 news infotainment industry AND the most destructive mass media of them all…the creation of highly addictive and manipulative social media platforms (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc) which are tools used by the rich to distract Us, divide Us and control Us.  

In short: We know Trump didn’t just materialize out of thin air. Nope. He and ALL that he represents, has exploited and unleashed, has been a long time in the making.

How in the world do scores of seditious rioters simply waltz into the United States Capitol, so casually that many of them record their invasion on their phones and take selfies with cops? How do they scale the walls and push through the doors and scatter the police and not get forcibly stopped by whatever means necessary? How does anyone breach the House speaker’s office and relax in her chair as if he owned the place?
Two words: White supremacy. It’s undeniable now, unmistakable. What happened on Wednesday was simple: Donald Trump told White people that America had been stolen from them, and he summoned them to Washington to take it back. He was their commander in chief, he gave them their marching orders, and all they had to do was obey. They saw insurrection as their duty, but also as their right.
