Trump, Republicans And Fox News Are The Definition Of "Mob Rule!"

Thirsty for attention.

Donald J. Trump, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Newt Gingrich and Bill Shine bumped heads over the past week. They are trying to whip up voters to turnout in the U.S, Midterms. After a bitter partisan fight over Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh, the Republicans are scrambling for a "Hail Mary."

Why not conclude that your opponents are vying for "mob rule?"

Conservative supporters of Brett Kavanaugh have a new talking point: Those who fought against his nomination to the Supreme Court are nothing more than an angry "mob."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Judiciary Committee members Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) all used the word in recent days to refer to peaceful protesters who organized to block Kavanaugh amid credible allegations of sexual assault against him. A vote for Kavanaugh, Grassley, the committee chair, said Friday, is a vote to "say no to mob rule."

Trump, as so often, went further, using the term to tar the entire opposing party. "In their quest for power, the radical Democrats have turned into an angry mob," he told a rally on Saturday in Kansas. "Republicans believe in the rule of law, not the rule of the mob."

It’s not hard to see the political strategy here: Ahead of the midterms, gin up fears among conservative voters about vengeful progressives hungering to send every white male who ever told a dirty joke to the guillotine. But the right’s sudden embrace of the "mob" epithet is much more dangerous than politics as usual.

You've heard it from prominent lawmakers and conservative agitators. Now it's starting to stick in the minds of many Republicans who are fired up to vote.

Democrats are motivated to vote this midterm and they're not taking anything for granted.

Are you voting?

Yes. I'm voting Democrat.

Yes. I'm voting Republican.

No. I'm not voting.

So now the right wing carnival barkers are blaming everyone they've word vomited over the last 20 years to scare up white votes. The usual word vomit includes: George Soros, the Democrats, Media Matters for America, Nancy Pelosi, Black Lives Matter, Colin Kaepernick, Maxine Waters, the junk food media, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and #MeToo activism.

The Republicans are placing their bets on the culture war instead of the results of their tax law, their confirmation of two Supreme Court nominees,  their "America first" policies and their leadership.

You notice that McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) aren't talking about the tax law.

They are not talking about how Republicans denied Barack Obama a Supreme Court nominee during an election year. He refuse to rule out confirming other Supreme Court nominees in 2020.

Do you want this rotten asshole to lead the Senate?

The pending demise of Mattress Firm, Sears and retail in general. The bankruptcy of Mattress Firm and Sears could trigger a recession here in the United States.

You're paying over $3.00 a gallon in gasoline.

You are seeing Republican lawmakers in the state capitols restrict your rights to vote.

You see Republicans are trying to cut back the safety net. Even though many Americans are on the bubble of losing their jobs, their homes, their cars, their health insurance and minds, the Republicans believe you should stop complaining and find alternatives.

Money Owns Bureaucrats. The Republiklan Party. The Klanservatives are motivated to rule our state houses, our courtrooms and our government. White male privilege is making a comeback.

You fired up.

You feel like taking your frustrations to the streets.

Good. How about voting?

Are you going to vote?

Please vote.

VOTE EARLY.
