MAGA Republicans have already telegraphed their intentions for Dr. Fauchi. The moment they are swept into power in 2023, all their going to do is drag him in front of every possible committee to yell at him. In fact, the only thing that will stop them from just forcing him to testify at every possible turn will be their efforts to impeach both Biden and Harris.
It’s shit like this that gives one pause for thought.
Republicans are so craven, so fascist in their inclinations that I have begun to question if they will ever let go of power, any power that they get once they have it going forward. We have to take their fasciation with Russia seriously — they really do want to turn the United States into an autocratic white Christian ethno state like Russia.
Democrats are just too limp wristed, to beholden to staying within conventional wisdom and trying to find some sort of bi-partisanship. If I had my way, Democrats would get woke and take the vicious nature of Republicans at face value. I’m aware that there’s a huge downside to this — once BOTH sides fight dirty, then politics collapses and you, well, uhhh, fight things out through a force of arms.
Let me put it another way — it seems obvious to me that we’re lurching towards an existential choice of autocracy or civil war. I would much rather go down fighting — if Republicans are determined to destroy everything in an effort to establish white minority rule, then we should at least be prepared to make it as difficult as possible for them to do it.
But in the near term, Republicans are going to wallow in their new narrative that the Deep State and Dr. Fauchi released COVID19 from the Wuhan Lab specifically to bring down Trump. I get the sense that some pretty mainstream Republican media outlets essentially imply this already. It will be all we hear about once MAGA Republicans control Congress again.
The fact that Trump’s incompetency directly lead to 500,000 additional, unnecessary COVID19 deaths will be a lulz to them.
