They're not even hiding it anymore

 

Ron Johnson and his fellow republicans

Republican Senator Ron Johnson went on the radio in his native Wisconsin this week and said (note that he was truly this blunt) he wasn't afraid of the insurrectionists on January 6th because they were white people who loved this country, but that if protesters from Black Lives Matter had roamed the capitol building he would have been scared.

There was nary a retraction from Johnson or his staff.

Had any Democratic senator made any comment akin to this but switched their fear for White Nationalists instead of Black Lives Matter, it would have been roundly condemned by the mainstream media.  But the media in this country has become so afraid of calling out republicans for any issue, let alone racism, that it hardly made a ripple and was met with a nary a condemnation.  I guess the line in the sand will be use of the n-word, but at this point I wouldn't hold my breath.

One wonders if our mainstream media understands that if Johnson and his ilk win the battle for the soul of America that their publications and stations will become little more than echoes of Russian media outlets like Pravda and Tass, whose sole purpose is to be nothing more than propaganda for the state, and that any employee who wants to present unadulterated news will find themselves inside of a state prison before you can say "gulag."

After Donald Trump, anyone who thinks it can't happen here is a fool.
