The same people who stormed the capitol are the same people who gleefully support police violence against Black and Brown people.
The same people who terrorize churches and synagogues.

The flags I saw at most often at the assault on the capitol?
Trump Flag
BlueLivesMatter Flag
Confederate Flag
This is not a coincidence.
This is literally how it works.
America's racism was leveraged to minimize and dismiss white violence.

The police stood shoulder to shoulder with this mob of violent supremacists up until the moment that they turned on them.
America made police into gods.
Those gods conferred their blessing onto white terrorism, not realizing that fascism is fickle.

White supremacists seduced America into defending their views, making space for them, shielding them from accountability and elevating them into positions of power.
Racism is how the Capitol got stormed.
Anti-Black hatred is the foundation upon which the attack was built.

America spent years "both-siding" anti-fascism and fascism.
Because the loudest anti-fascists were anti-racists.
And America doesn't like people who stand up for Black and Brown people.
So they handled the actually deadly white fascists with kid gloves.

Even now, the Democrats will not acknowledge this direct thread.
They are so afraid of being tagged with the property damage of anti-Brutality protests that they won't draw the straight lines from opposition to Black lives mattering to an attempt at violent overthrow of US Govt.

This of course is the consequence of pursuing peace without justice.
Justice is reckoning with white supremacy, on the mob side AND the police side.
Peace is pretending it never happened and that the causality does not exist so that people are quiet.

Loyalty to peace over justice means that American society would rather ignore the festering cancer of white supremacy while living in denial of the fact it's been metastatic for some time now.
The result? People giving the heil while putting Congress under seige.

Not even those who are now standing up in Congress to decry this authoritarian power grab have the capacity to acknowledge what is glaringly obvious to anyone who looks.
Trump, racists, nazis and cop fanatics shared a common goal -- to take down Democracy.

Nobody on any side of this Congressional debate will speak to how American coddling of and participation in white supremacy has brought us to the position where the merits of violently storming the capitol to overturn an election is debatable.
America is reaping the harvest of its centuries of default racism.
It did not resist when the GOP mainstreamed, empowered and armed white supremacists under Trump
It did not resist because it was not concerned.
It didn't see danger. It saw tackiness
It wasn't worth resisting.

This fascism will continue to grow.
You can tell because those who proudly tout it will suffer no consequences for doing so
We are still allowing supporters of insurrection against US Government to control it.

Biden and the Democrats will not stop the rising tide of white supremacist fascism.
It's not that they are not able.
It's that they won't.
Because in order to do so they'd have to actually fight racism.
And they won't.
Even when it's life and death for them.

America's dogmatic refusal to inspect its own racism means that it will continue to be hospitable to the most extreme and violent racists among them.
America would literally rather die than face its racism.
And it just might.

The thread from dismissing the alt-right as a cute distraction to being concerned over the state of American governance is straight and taut. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1311315730080595969
It's not accidental. It is cynical and calculated. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1172950568983289856
This did not come out of nowhere. The groundwork has been laid for years. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1106573427022938112
This is in the thread above but most people don't check subthreads so I'm posting here.
It's a Layer-by-Layer breakdown of the Trump/White Nationalist syndicate. https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1106579606432301057
