Der Trumpischer-Republikaner Anschluss

Nothing lost in translation here. The German title fits perfectly with Trump’s repeated trumpeting of pride in his German blood. His bloodless hostile takeover of the the Republican Party is exactly what Germany did to Austria in 1938. Anschluss fits with Trump’s pride in his German “blood”, not heritage, in which he hierarchically ranks racial groups (Nordic vs “shithole countries”, “you people in Minnesota have the best genes”), not genetic differences between individuals. When Fuhrer says it was nothing but a “lovefest” with “hugs and kisses” and his followers tell you “it was a normal tourist visit”, they’re telling you who they are. Listen:

Der Trumpishcer Gleichschaltung

This Nazi term for imposing uniformity describes today’s Republican Party, with Liz Cheney now bound for the frozen wastes of Republican primary Trumpistan. There’s no more daylight between the inside and outside the Capitol Big Liars. With sympathy for the would-be Capitol bomber, Mo Brooks again shows nothing separates the January 6 Stop the Steal neo-confederate flag wavers and gallows builders outside from the election decertifying Republican congressmen inside.

Der Trumpisch Anschluss und Gleichschaltung of the Republican Party that swept away Cheney, Romney and Kinzinger and neutered McCarthy, McConnell and Graham, is the Big Lie feedback loop between white Christian nationalist outsider insurrectionists and their insider instigators and enablers.

Trump’s ring-kissers signal the Stop the Steal base to sit tight while they pass the voter suppression laws that will legalize what the seditionist tip of the Trumpublican spear could not obtain by force on January 6. This is how to understand the Republican congressmen’s denials that any insurrection took place.

The legal problem this poses for Trumpian congressmen who’d like to send the insurrection down a memory hole is that they’re simultaneously signalling the national security state to pay more attention to possible links between them and the insurrectionary “tourists” of January 6. It is also the doom loop in which Foxified alternative fact unreality has entrapped Republican leaders whose sole ideology is staying in power. Ted “Cancun Cruiser” Cruz’s mafioso threat to corporations taking a stand against voter suppression laws said the quiet part out loud.

Fist Pumpin’ Josh “Heartland” Hawley: “does not regret giving a clinched fist salute to a group of Trump supporters in the run-up to the Capitol riot because, as he explained Tuesday, there’s no proof members of that group participated in violent acts. ‘No, because I don’t know which of those protesters — if any of them — those demonstrators, participated in the criminal riot,’” (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/josh-hawley-defends-his-fist-pump-before-the-capitol-riot/ar-BB1gmgG3)

Memory hole Hawley must believe it was Antifa or an FBI setup.

Ring-kisser Kevin McCarthy in January: “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.” The California congressman also floated the possibility of a censure resolution, which would’ve formally condemned Trump for his actions.”

Ring-kisser Kevin McCarthy now: ”I was the first person to contact him when the riots were going on,” McCarthy said [on Fox News Sunday]. “He didn’t see it. What he ended the call with saying was telling me he’ll put something out to make sure to stop this. And that’s what he did. He put a video out later.” (https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/mccarthy-contradicts-mccarthy-trump-jan-6-attack-n1265397)

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson: “By and large, it was peaceful protest, except for there were a number of people, basically agitators that whipped the crowd and breached the Capitol.” (https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/554548-ron-johnson-jan-6-capitol-riot-was-largely-peaceful-not-an-insurrection)

“Little Marco” Rubio in January: “agreed that the former president “bears responsibility for some of what happened.”

Memory hole Marco now: “slams the proposed January 6 commission as ‘a partisan joke’ that’s ‘about damaging Republicans’ (https://www.businessinsider.com/rubio-january-6-commission-partisan-joke-republicans-capitol-riot-2021-5?op=1)

A simple thought experiment can explain why these Anschlussed Trumpublicans tie themselves into such knots. It should be as much fun for the populist white nationalist Trumpster base as aiming a Rothschild space laser at Nancy Pelosi’s house in San Francisco, since it would make elected Republican conservatives squirm in agony:

Trump is still president and signs executive orders that:

Nationalize Facebook, Twitter, CNN, Google, Amazon, Apple because they’re instruments of totalitarian liberal censorship and cancel culture. Withdraw the US from NATO. Authorize the open carry of guns in all fifty states, including by employees on the private premises of their employers. The order bans searches of employee cars for firearms and bans employers from asking employees if they have firearms in their cars (hint: this is a property rights question). The order also grants employers a full exemption from liability for firearms injuries or death that occur on their premises. Order a revote in Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama warehouse union election to get back at space cowboy Bezos. Ban mask mandates and vaccine passports by airlines, sports and concert venues and cruise ships. Give retroactive qualified immunity to anyone who hits a BLM protester with a car. Order all imports from China banned and delist all Chinese companies from American securities markets within 120 days Apply stand your ground laws to the protection of confederate statues as well as personal self-defense. Order Hillary Clinton interned in the basement of the Comet Rocket pizzeria in Washington, DC. Order Hunter Biden interned in the same place as Hillary.

The post-Anschluss Trumpublican Party primaries into Gleichschaltung any elected Republican who doesn’t support all of the above. What do you think McCarthy, McConnell, Graham & Co. will do? The squirming and twisting above is proof the question has already answered itself.
