David Blight,
Professor of History and African American Studies at Yale
University,
As pointed out on Jonathan Capehart’s Sunday Show,
The day after the third anniversary of January 6,
The murder of nine churchgoers at Mother Immanuel Church in
Charleston, South Carolina, happened in July 2015.
In August of 2015, “he who shall not be named” came down that
escalator to announce his run for the presidency.
He deliberately announced his run for the presidency after Dylann Roof killed nine black worshippers at a prayer service to incite a race war in
South Carolina,
The first state to secede from the Union,
The reason stated in their Articles of Secession, Nikki Haley, was the enslavement of African people.
After a mass murder in the state of Iowa,
The twice-impeached,
The four-times indicted,
Ninety-one felony counts charged criminal defendant,
He told a crowd of supporters in Sioux Center, Iowa, that “we’re
really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was
“terrible” and “horrible,” He insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to
move forward. We have to move forward.”
The Iowa Perry High School principal,
Dan Marburger,
Who had led the school for 19 years,
Who had graduated children to careers, colleges, and
universities, the military, but more importantly, mature U.S. citizens,
succumbed to his injuries from the shooting.
“Get over it.”
That’s his true sentiment.
Like Life’s, a film in the early 2000s with actress Kirsten Dunst.

If he prevails, “thoughts and prayers” will become a verbal
relic.
This country hasn’t had one thought or uttered one prayer
since Sandy Hook!
So long as republican politicians are in the gun industry’s
pocket.
Speaking of which:
Wayne LaPierre quit after decades of mismanagement,
Because Letitia James’s fraud charges against the NRA were too
much heat!
The same gun nut that missed every target on a hunting trip!
The same con artist that expensed for himself from the NRA
$7,000 designer suits and tried to purchase a mansion in West Lake, Texas, from
member donations!
The same charlatan who has run the con of elevating The Second
Amendment to scripture status since the 1970s!
“Get over it!”
Because, in this tragicomedy, “he who shall not be named” is
the clown face of Oligarchy.
“Get over it!”
Because this “American Carnage” isn’t touching their exclusive
Cul de Sacs!
“Get over it!”
That's because the stock ticker for “Smith and Wesson” goes up before
the toe tags!
“Get over it!”
Because they lifted the prohibition against the mentally
disabled owning firearms in 2017 to terrorize American citizens!
“Get over it!”
Because divisions between seemingly disparate groups are how
the oligarchy maintains power and influence!
Because,
African Americans contesting with Hispanics,
Aligning Native Americans with savagery,
Asian/Pacific Islanders challenging Affirmative Action in
college admissions,
Muslims against Jewish citizens,
Rural America contesting Urban Dwellers,
Everyone contesting the LGBTQIA community,
Plays into the hands of oligarchy,
Because if we’re strapping for crumbs at the Lazarus table of
an unjust system,
NO ONE is working on dismantling it!
Some of us so are gaslit to be upset that in 2045,
So-called “white” people will be 49.7% of the population.
You’re missing the point that the oligarchy wants you to miss:
If you partnered:
African Americans with Hispanics,
Asian/Pacific Islanders with Native Americans,
Muslim Americans with Jewish Americans,
Rural Americans with Urban Americans,
The LGBTQIA with EVERYBODY,
The fraction becomes this:
All of us: 99%. Oligarchy: 1%.
“We the people” could get sane gun control legislation,
“We, the people,” could get a free college education,
“We the people” could get environmental regulations that
mitigate climate change impacts on cities and rural communities,
“We the people” can return bodily autonomy to women, [the
voting majority] of this country,
“We the people” can remove lead pipes from rural and urban communities,
“We the people” could decrease income inequality that
exacerbates criminality, climate, and societal instability.
Because the fraction that terrifies sociopaths:
All of us: 99%. Oligarchy: 1%.
That’s why “Occupy Wall Street” had to be crushed!
Know this:
There is no equivalent functionality for a billionaire/oligarch/grand poobah/potentate/sheik in nature.
They aren’t “stable geniuses”. They are Ketamine-addicted, coke-snorting grand theft artists!
That fact is what they don’t want you to get.
And “we, the people,” on November 5, 2024, will NOT “get over it!”
