The Hate That Hate Creates: The Buffalo Shooter Is A Product Of The Republican Party

*snip*

Let’s cut to the chase. The Republican Party has embraced the same kind of nationalistic, racist and evil ideas that inspire killers around the world to target Black and brown people. There was once a time when Republican leaders could say with honesty that they were shocked and appalled when events like what happened on Saturday happened. Yet, their stance on gun control and their embrace of a neutered version of the “great replacement” theory make their calls for peace and prayer ring hollow.

*snip*

I’ve grown weary of living in a country run by narcissistic racists who feel that they can say what they please as long as their poll and ratings numbers remain up. Buffalo shows us definitively that words and ideas have consequences, and if people like Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik continue to use their platforms to spew ideas rooted in hate, then I will have to look long and hard at the people who watch Carlson and remain a part of the party of Stefanik and count you not as a person who merely wants lower taxes, but, instead, as a person who is hostile to the presence of Black and brown people in this country.

Antisemetism is no different in terms of decades long hate targeting.

It is coded words & used by a partucular politivian yesterday as a reason tgeir vot count was behind their opponant.

They actually referred to AIPAC donations to their opponant as "Jew Money".
Right there on camera & on mic.

Hate baiting via their coded words is not even recognized as wothy of an apology.
They just keep blasting it out their to their tribal cult.

I don't know how it stops.
