There's so much scandal all the time, it can be hard to remember where we are, much less how we got here. But they say it's important remember the lessons of the past, or else we're fated to do...something, I forget what, I forget, I forget.Full Essay: https://www.the-reframe.com/the-rot-goes-to-the-core/

Where we are.It's really hard to know where to begin when it comes to where we are. There's only so much sheer volume of blatant corruption and noxious hate that a person can stay aware of even if they're trying. Eventually something pushes out.

It came out this week that NC Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson has in past years spent his time posting pro-slavery and pro-Nazi comments on porn sites, and other things of that nature, many of which are so bad CNN, who broke the story, declined to print them.

The things Robinson said are shocking to the majority of awesome freaks in this country who are simply normal decent folk, but will be unlikely to concern the fascist freaks in the Republican party. Robinson was already a known Holocaust denier who said "some folks need killing."

Maybe CNN thinks that the worst stuff can just be assumed of somebody running as a Republican for high office. Maybe they're just protecting us from the boredom of it all.It came out Matt Gaetz attended a drugged-up sex party with a high school junior, by the way. What a yawn.

And of course we have the head donut Donald Trump and his vice donuthole JD Vance, who won't stop inciting terrorist violence from their violence-aligned cult against Haitian people living in Vance's home state. They admit they're making it up. They say truth makes no difference.

And they intend to round up and deport "illegals," even as they signal that the definition of "illegal" has nothing to do with law, is in fact something that is entirely up to them and their bigotries.And recently pallid Trump ghoul Steven Miller announced that denaturalization—that would be stripping citizens of their citizen status—would be "turbocharged." Like all Nazis, they and only they decide who is an illegal. The truth will be no defense.

Vance and Trump demonize immigrants and their children, though this describes their wives.Robinson enjoys trans porn, while he's demonizing trans people.Gaetz is a pedophile, which is the smear Republicans offer to justify demonizing queer people.The hypocrisy is notable.

The hypocrisy is notable, because hypocrisy is a virtue to fascists.Hypocrisy is a primary fascist virtue, an intrinsic component of its core virtue, which is dominating the lives of others with violence and abuse.

Have I said that before? I feel like I've said that before. When we don't learn the lessons of the past, we are doomed to repeat them. The corollary is that when we don't repeat the lessons of the past—literally repeat these things we know—we tend to forget we know them.

Certainly there seems to be a certain amount of license granted to Republicans for the sort of things that ought to end careers. There's a bunch of hacked emails on prominent Republicans that news organizations (who published when Democrats were the subject) are just sitting on.

At least one journalist in possession of such documents says this newfound probity is because the sorts of scandals contained therein are so common to what is already known about Republicans they wouldn't "move the needle." Maybe they think we're bored.

But maybe we need to repeat history's lessons before we're doomed to relive them; remember how we got here even if we already know.Lots of people forget Mitt Romney ran an anti-immigrant campaign in 2012. A *severely* conservative campaign—remember?Read On: https://www.the-reframe.com/the-rot-goes-to-the-core/
