The potential US equivalent of Golden Dawn will be on display in Washington, DC on Wednesday. Organizers of the pro-Trump demonstrations, which have received official approval, have threatened to kill "traitors." Details of the planned DC police response--I've seen no mention of the National Guard, despite the death threats--are apparently under wraps.
These events have a way of fizzling, and the venerable, seedy Hotel Harrington--adopted as a kind of unofficial headquarters by the Proud Boys recently--will be closed for three days around the Republican anti-constitutional circus planned for the sixth, the day when Congress is expected to certify the results of the election. But the expectation is that a lot of very angry right-wingers will be thirsting for blood in the streets. One supposes that a certain number of awn-tee-faw will turn up to pick fights with the Proud Boys, etc. There have apparently been efforts by the boy geniuses of the right to gin up fake "antifa" violence in case the Black Blockers decide to stay away Nobody knows for certain what will happen or how significant it will be. The tide of neofascism appears to be waning worldwide--could it just be getting started in the US based on the "martyrdom" of Trump? The continuation of their usual ratfucking "normal" politics by the Republicans will be bad enough--are they actually going to try to--as we say--"take it to another level" this week? One hopes that an effective response by the left will not require a massacre followed by a five-year quest to bring the murderers to justice. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
