White Supremacy Threatened

 

 

Recently, his loyalists stated that an impeachment would further divide the country. This statement was not backed up with any supporting evidence just like the statement that the election was stolen. Divide as a noun means separated into parts. In arithmetic, to divide means to split into equal parts. As a noun, divide means a wide divergence between two groups, typically producing tension or hostility. In essence, we are talking about anxious and aggressive people. This disquisition focuses on the statement that impeachment would further divide the country.

The previous presidents approval rating on January 20, 2021 was 44% approve and 55% disapprove. A recent average of polls regarding removing the previous president from office was 52.5% support and 43.3% don’t support. A  Monmouth University poll found that 56% of Americans supported the impeachment on grounds that he incited the January 6 riot at the capital by his supporters with 42% disagreeing. The poll included 87% of Republicans. By 52%- 44% Americans said the Senate should convict the previous president and by 57%-41% should be barred from future office.

At the moment, there is a clear divergence and majority between those not supporting the previous president and those supporting him. Those supporting him have been reinforced and brainwashed by his lies for over the last five years. By the sheer weight of the repetition or positive reinforcement of those lies on social media, TV, radio etc., they have totally submitted to the irrationality of the January 6’s insurrection. We all witnessed the terror of the unlawful violence and intimidation emitted. These evil individuals have to employ cognitive dissonance, denial, rationalization and hold beliefs to a conspiracy ideology. Their authoritarian leader infamously stated to an evangelical group in Iowa that he could kill somebody in New York and get away with it. With that being said, what’s wrong with disallowing black votes or asking the Georgia Secretary of State to find 11,780 votes or to recalculate? With the irrational belief that he actually won the presidential vote along with additional lies by the political sycophants who know better, of course they don’t believe in impeachment. Let’s find out why?

It would prove fruitful to break down that 42% that believe he should not be impeached from office. I would ask questions like: 1. How long have you been a supporter of this man? 2. What do you like, admire or dislike about him? 3. Are you a gun owner? 4. What is your level of education and did you take a civics class? 5. Are you employed? 6. Are you, and your family affiliated with any political party? 7. Did you attend any of his previous rallies or attend on January 6? 8. Have you ever been arrested, incarcerated or had legal issues? 9. How much and on what TV or social media footage have you witnessed regarding the January 6 insurrection and your thoughts and feelings that it generated? 10. How do you receive your political news? 11. What was supposed to happen on January 6 by rioting? 12. What are your major issues and complaints? 13. What conspiracy ideas do believe?  14. Do you believe that the January 6 occurrence facilitated the aims of the X.? These questions would generate and lead to further questions that would categorize the attitude and beliefs of this 42% figure.

Of these 42%, more specifically, let’s take a clinical look at the fringe element that we witnessed on TV that participated in the January 6 riot at the capital. For this group, it’s their character development and their inability to incorporate a positive sense of self with the humaneness of the outside world. They are stuck, in their position, like in quicksand and drowning. All they needed was an excuse to act out the violence.  Freud believed that aggressiveness was biological in nature while Jung saw aggressiveness as the despicable part of man’s Shadow. With that being noted, these rioters received the excuse to act out when Trump instructed them to march with power, fight and strength to the capital and not let “them” take freedom or white supremacy away from them.

We witnessed the vile, wicked, dreadful, offensive, hateful, abhorrent shouting rhetoric of killing and verbal attacks on various governmental members. This is clearly a character tendency that is behaviorally orally sadistic with an exploitive nature. They were selfishly taking advantage of being backed by a mob with little external threats from capital police. Their evil words defined their character and were defensive projections.

We also witnessed physical behavior that was unlawful, criminal, rebellious, hateful, destructive, necrophilia, stealing, antisocial against other humans with the character structure that has a sadomasochistic tendency. These culprits initially have to masochistically submit, blindly follow, revere, and act robotic without moral values and critical intelligence to their authoritarian leader Trump .Their sadistic attack on capital police, smearing of feces and destruction of government property was clearly evident. They risked their freedom and their integrity not for rule of law or for democracy but for hate and sadism. Some never even voted. These individuals are beyond treatment, redemption and/or rehabilitation. Bring back the lobotomy!

To simplify, white supremacy skinned individuals feel threatened that their identity, way of life, entitlements, privilege, and protection are going to be lost with Trump’s removal from power. They have been brainwashed over and over with the fraudulent messages that Trump won the election in a landslide, the election was fraudulent and that liberals, socialists and black protest groups are destroying their beloved country. One way to reduce the psychological threat and anxiety is by affiliating with the Republican Party, a hate group, a conspiracy group and/or a mob. A second way to reduce the threat and anxiety is by verbally and physically attacking anybody and anything that counters their sick way of thinking. Alcohol, drugs, sex, social media, and sleep are other ways as well.

The 56% that approve of the impeachment could be asked the same questions in order to compare differences. Their answers might help delineate the capital insurrection that was positively reinforced between the two groups. In doing so, we go beyond and take a deeper look at the notion of applying consequences for the authoritarian. Do you notice that those supporting the previous president make many statements and create false moral equivalency without any supporting evidence? They also fail to address the threat on individuals, the nation or democracy as well as the underlying racism. It’s not about the vote.

What’s clearly contributing to the division between the party of the X and others are the preponderance of white supremacy, racism and lies. These lies have been positively reinforced by him as well as by his many political sycophants. Take some of the highly educated members in the Congress, who in the interest of their egoism, go along and repeat the lies at every opportunity.  Perhaps some are afraid to tell the truth because of real or imaginary consequences from his base. Perhaps, it doesn’t bother these politicians to look at themselves in the mirror every day.  Just refer to them as Judas. They are despicable as well and don’t deserve to hold office. It’s as if lying is the new norm. Having a healthy functioning conscience should be a requirement for holding office. Have negative consequences and/ or punishment for their lying behavior is required to slow down and stop the bleeding in order to confront their hunger for exploitation and power. Forget compromise until everyone focuses on the same reality. Agreeing on the same reality is healthier than relying on deceit, irrationality and illusion of unity and union.

It’s become clearer by now as to the political and racial division in the country. The racism is completely concrete and in the open. Whites can no longer pretend they are not racist. Whites can talk all they want about being politically correct. The actions by the X, his past administration, current members of Congress, capital police and former military trained were depicted on January 6. These behaviors are focused on keeping the power and the status quo of the past 400 years or so and not on unifying the country. A non-impeachment conviction would just reinforce the white supremacy status quo of our country. One group talks about working across the aisle, providing economic and heath assistance and the other about the 2022 and 2024 election and regaining power. We have been previously and continue to be the divided states of America. Impeach the X, root out systemic racism, prosecute domestic terror and then we can start talking about the political division.
