Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ about Black people jeopardizes democracy for all, Angela R. Pashayan, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing,

Killing four little girls whose crime

Was being ready to sing a hymnal,

 

A fascist descendant shot up Christchurch, New Zealand,

Because he had issues with Muslims and immigrants,

 

Dozens of young LGBT at Pulse Nightclub,

Living their lives and partying in Florida,

Gunned down like throwaway cannon fodder,

 

Heather Heyer ran over in Charlottesville,

Jews killed in the Tree of Life Synagogue,

Asians killed by a nut job in Atlanta,

Sikhs in their temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin,

Nine souls unsuspectedly showing Christ’s love,

Inadvertently invited their killer to Mother Immanuel,

And, just like the brown-skinned Messiah, Evilgelicals do NOT follow: forgave him!

 

An incel fascist drives NINE hours from Dallas to El Paso, Texas, to kill Hispanics,

 

Now 86-year-old grandmothers can’t get groceries at Tops in Buffalo, New York, minutes from Niagara Falls?

The shooter drove several hours to get to Buffalo,

The shooter was fifteen when he heard “there were fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville,

False comparison between peaceful protestors and Nazis,

 

The UN needs a travel advisory: enter the United States at your own risk!

 

Great replacement theory,

Is utter bullshit,

It’s just the latest Reich Wing fundraising grift,

 

Lies from the Internet cesspool 4Chan parroted,

By the likes of Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz,

Complete silence from Republicans in the House and Senate,

If they’re not speaking out, that makes them complicit,

To the violence their stochastic terrorism solicits,

Do you know who else is silent?

Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk,

The owners of Fox Propaganda and Twitter are eerily quiet,

Not a breaking news report or a tweet about the Buffalo, NY Tops grocery shooting,

Because none of the victims LOOK like them!

Biden still has to answer questions about “defunding the police,”

 

Why can’t we ask them about this?

 

Stochastic terrorism (noun): the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted:

The rhetoric of stochastic terrorism influenced the lone-wolf attack.

 

Infantile incels decrying decreasing birth rates,

Failing to invest in charm, cologne, and coitus,

If your ancestors were so concerned about the spread of Melanin,

Why did they sire Mullatto children?

Why did they bother stealing my ancestors from Africa in the first place?

I have had six decades-while-black to get sick of this,

Thrown up against a wall, stopped and frisked,

At fourteen,

By the store detective who refused to believe my innocence,

The KKK threatened my life

A seventeen-year-old teenager with assassination threats,

For the audacity of promoting to JROTC Cadet Colonel,

 

The “gang of Putin” is more concerned about:

 

The Second Amendment (never under threat),

Antifa (which means anti-fascist)

Book banning like American Nazis,

Black Lives Matter (because they [obviously] don’t),

Bloodsucking pedophile sex traffickers operating pizza parlors with no basements,

Josh Hawley’s a little TOO concerned about online child porn for my comfort,

Voter fraud committed by THEM,

“Critical race theory,”

Code for teaching actual American history,

You only teach CRT in law and sociology grad schools,

NOT K-12,

The latest Reich Wing boogie man,

To scare people into not voting in their best interests,

 

I want a class-action lawsuit,

“We the people” of the United States,

Against Fox Propaganda, Tucker Carlson,

Reich Wing media outlets,

And Republicans who parrot it,

They, like Sarah Palin,

And “don’t retreat: RELOAD!” Jared Lee Loughner,

Have blood on their hands for stochastic terrorism,

Bill O’Reilly, “Tiller the baby killer” for a dishonorable mention,

Get Tuck, not his lawyers, in a court under sworn deposition,

Let him PROVE his “evidence” for replacement theory,

The cretin doesn’t have any!

Put a few BILLIONS on the chopping block,

He and Rupert Murdoch will back the fuck down like QAN on election fraud,

I want him DRENCHED in sweat and dread,

Beads tumbling out of his foppish head,

Fumbling for his talking points,

 

For the arts, I charge this:

Comics: make them look like complete idiots!

Musicians: make some viral tunes about it.

Reporters: chase them as they eventually RUN from the interview.

Poets: write some spoken word about it!

 

For Tucker Carlson and republican “lawmakers,”

We need to hammer out Newsweek’s three questions,

Before the November midterm elections:

 

-“Do you believe in the replacement theory?”

-“Do you condemn the replacement theory, or do you support the ideology that has inspired numerous mass terrorists?”

-“If you do condemn it, then why are you and your colleagues repeating it?”

 

And KEEP asking them after it!

Democrats: stop bringing a butter knife to a gunfight!

This is a fight for our democracy,

DEMOLISH them, or [go] fly a kite!

Fascism, like flatulence, has the same remedy,

The best disinfectant for gaslight is sunlight!

VOTE!
