OMG! MAGA is so obsessed with you!

Fascists are obsessed with you. There are two stories out in the last couple of days that are illustrative of just how obsessed they are, and how they will rewrite the narrative with lies and punish anyone that says or thinks any different to serve their need for sacrosanct control of our thoughts and feelings towards them.

The Trump administration’s Justice Department is bringing charges against local politicians in Chicago who were at protests against ICE’s raids in that city. The charging documents allege that they were “conspiring to impede a federal officer.” The story also details that there is video of one of the defendants, Kat Abughazaleh, in a crowd of people attempting to block a black SUV. The charges carry a possible 6 years in prison. Abughazaleh, a social media influencer and candidate for an open Congressional seat, posted a short social media video about it on Instagram. Ms. Abughazaleh makes clear that she isn’t backing down, is still running for Congress, and asks for donations for legal fees. 6 years in prison for what amounts to a mild form of civil disobedience.

The second story involves the suspension of two federal prosecutors who made the mistake of referring to the January 6th insurrection as “riot” and the participants a “mob” in a sentencing document for a man charged with weapons charges in DC who had been of the participants of said riot. The man charged is a weird little guy who was live-streaming himself driving around DC in his van that he said had a bomb in it. He said he was looking for “tunnels” that would take him to Obama’s house. (Like I said weird little guy, but I digress.) The important thing here is that these two prosecutors made the news because in a document they told the truth about what happened on January 6, 2021.

MAGA is a malformed ideology based on a mythical version of America, aka White Supremacy. They want to return to something that never existed. The things they want to do to get there won’t work, and will only end up causing immense amounts of suffering for not only their enemies and targets, but for many who supported his election. So when things go wrong, and they are, they have to blame everyone else, shut them up, and punish anyone who refuses join their bourgeoning death cult.
