While Republicans claim to “know nothing” about trivial matters like starving families, unpaid air traffic controllers, covering up Presidential child rape, and corrupt pardons of convicted criminals who have bribed their Mad King, and thus are happy to do nothing, there's one critical matter that they believe deserves their full attention.
The matter: favoring white Christians of European descent over all other cat-eating scum, on the basis of the indisputable superiority of their white Christian European culture.
The superior claim of Americans of European background over all others (including the Native Americans who were here first) to special privilege is obvious, at least according to that magnificent specimen of white male superiority, Vice President Jimmy Don Vontz:
In his speech this year, Mr. Vance identified “our ancestors” as the people who came to “tame a wild continent.” Americans, in this construction, are those people whose ancestors participated in the conquest of Indigenous America, a process that occurred primarily between 1604 and 1890, when the Census Bureau famously declared that the frontier was no more. If your ancestors include people who were Indigenous or enslaved or who immigrated to this country after 1890 — ancestors who, in all likelihood, are not British, German or French Protestants — you might not be equally American.
If you have to ask whether Black Americans, whose ancestors also immigrated here before 1890, albeit in chains, are also entitled to special treatment, then you're not catching the drift here.
Those in search of exemplars of the obviously superior specimens of white European genes or whatever need look no further than the forebears of Jimmy Don and the demented goon whose taint he polishes every day to a fine bronze sheen with his beard.
Jimmy Don's parents were a white junkie who stole pain meds from her own patients to feed her habit and abused her children and a baby daddy who shortly after JD arrived abandoned and neglected his children. Doesn't get too much more superior than that.
Not so fast. The Mad King's grandfather ran a brothel in Canada and his father was a cold corrupt racist landlord in New York who passed along his immoral sociopathic world view to his limited son.
But despite or perhaps because of the dubiety of the case for the superiority of white folks, this majestic blood and soil vision of what it means to be an American has come to dominate the Republican Party and its racist white base of support.
Consider neo-Na*i hatemonger Nick Fuentes, who enjoyed the Mad King's hospitality at Merde-a-Lardo three years ago and has unrepentantly spread the bizarro-Gospel of Christian white supremacy ever since:
It's nice that he's so chummy with mainstream Republican and former Fox 'News' anchor Tucker Carlson (who lost his job not because of his relentless advocacy of white racism but because he slagged off his boss Rupert Murdoch). After offering up one antisemitic slur after another, Fuentes ended the jolly discussion on an upbeat note:
When asked to share his unfettered core beliefs with Carlson, Fuentes obliged, painting a vision of a future America that Jews did not have the right to inherit.
“We do need to be right-wing. We do need to be Christian. We do, on some level, need to be pro-white,” he said. “Not to the exclusion of everybody else, but recognizing that white people have a special heritage here, as Americans.”
On some level? It sounds like the level of the Republican mainstream, who are increasingly fearful that neo-Na*i scum like Fuentes and his equally loathsome enablers like Carlson are in fact the current and future base of the Republican Party:
But there’s also a real fear that Fuentes can actually break through and become hegemonic in the Republican Party.
We wouldn’t be seeing this kind of anxiety in conservative circles if that weren’t the case. I’ve talked to a number of people who are sort of active in right-wing politics in D.C., and this is what they’re telling me—that, you know, Fuentes has a large audience, especially among conservative activists, the people who are actively involved in Republican politics.
The speaker, David Austin Smith, a Yale scholar, also pointed out that the white supremacist if not Fascist streak in the Republican Party goes back to Pat Buchanan, who believed the wrong side won World War II, and the Birchers and McCarthyites of the 1950's.
These are the Republicans that Jimmy Don Vontz wants to appeal to with his fearsome drivel about how white European Americans are better than those nasty other kinds (including, as Fuentes and Carlson are happy to point out, those demonic Jews).
Now we could point out that the record of these white European settlers is not without its blemishes, including matters like slavery and the genocide of the Native Americans.
But we'd like to take a step further and see how those white Europeans did on on their home ground – Europe – in the 20th Century.
Our first stop is Ypres, a medieval Flemish cloth-trading town. It looks pretty nice at first glance:
That medieval looking building is the Cloth Hall. It only looks medieval because the real one was destroyed during the various Battles of Ypres between 1914 and 1918 when two sides of superior white Christianity slaughtered each other for reasons no one can now fathom.
The results of the carnage are all around you. At the Menin Gate, a few blocks away, an enormous deep arch records the names of over 54,000 British and Commonwealth troops, most of them white Christians, who died in the battles around Ypres but whose bodies were never recovered:
Despite the size of the arch, it could not contain all the names of those missing in action. The other 37,000 names are thus listed at a separate memorial a few kilometers up the road at the Tyne Cot Cemetery. The 210,000 who fell but whose bodies were recovered are buried all over, including at Tyne Cot.
The 300,000 troops memorialized in and around Ypres constitute a full 1% of the 30 million men who died in action during that War, almost all of them white European Christians.
But that carnage was only a part of the glorious history of superior white Christians in Europe during the 20th century.
A few hours away from Ypres lies the great German Hanseatic free port of Hamburg, a leading center of trade and culture for close to a millenium. In 1943, its citizens, like the other good white Christian Germans, had enthusiastically embraced Nazi terror and conquest.
For its support, the white European Christians and their descendants in America decided that the city had to be firebombed and destroyed, thus causing the deaths of tens of thousands of Hamburg civilians.
So beginning on July 23, 1943, thousands of American and Royal Air Force bombers began their campaign to burn the venerable Free City.
The former St. Michael's Church was preserved as a memorial:
By the time the bombers had finished their mission of annihilation, over 30,000 had died and 60% of Hamburg's homes had been destroyed. The war went on for another 22 months, during which time millions more fell on the battlefield and another six million Jewish civilians were murdered in the Holocaust.
That's quite a score run up by white European Christians in the 31 years between 1914 and 1945.
It make you wonder who would look at this track record and conclude that the people responsible for the endless slaughter of the past century were somehow inherently superior to any other life form, mosses and lichens included.
You'd have to be as angry and stupid as pretty much every Republican to believe that your culture was superior and that you had the right to torment anyone who didn't fit your definition of the Master Race.
If you allow these racist Republicans to continue to impose their falsified views on your country, then you are scarcely better than they.
And you are much, much worse than the immigrants whom Americans of superior descent accuse of eating cats.
