  • “This has nothing to do with political party,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”

    Narrator:

    It had everything to do with political party, as the GOP had made a primary part of their national platform and brand about ignoring racial injustice and the legacy of slavery, in addition to overt, callous racism.

  • It’s technically redundant, but it’s also meaningful, intentional, and warranted. Especially when at least half of our legacy media establishment is committed to grossly misrepresenting the entire fascistic political movement, and the other half seems to be going whole hog on false equivalence and theatrical shock at entirely predictable authoritarian developments.

    It’s a lot like how we need to refer to the rapist Brock Turner (who is a rapist), for the simple reason that it needs to be aggressively forced into public perception. A lot like how the rapist Brock Turner aggressively forced himself on his rape victim, except the outcome here is increased public knowledge instead of Brock Turner (the rapist) getting his jollies.
