“Killers and Rapists” Redux

Trump-loving billionaire rants about migrants 'killing and raping' after he’s revealed as private funder of South Dakota's border deployment https://t.co/haYBwNFIla

First, it's worth noting this guy is from Tennessee. Tennessee is not a border state. This is crucial to the thesis that, the farther away from the border you are, the more you fear it. "Fear is the little death, fear is the mind-killer." It also separates a fool from his money.

Johnson's donation of an undisclosed amount to South Dakota's Emergency and Disaster Fund will bankroll the deployment of up to 50 national guard members to the border for as long as two months, according to reports.

And what will they do there?  Bugger all.  There’s nothing they can do.  National Guard have no law enforcement powers.  They can’t usurp or replace the law enforcement authority of Border Patrol officers.  They can sit at screens and say “Yup, looks like somebody’s walking around out there!” They can’t do any more than that.  And why are they needed?  Well, let’s ask the millionaire xenophobic racist:

"People don't respect nothing unless they work for it," Johnson said. "You've gotta work for what you got, and you've gotta respect what other people has — but not shooting and killing and lying and raping and doing other kinds of stuff because they've got free money. It's just chaos with this President, and he don't care."

If you’re still wondering what this has to do with Tennessee: 

“Everybody is tied down from COVID-19 but they let them come over with no shots, no nothing, no coverings over their face," Johnson said. "They ship them out to all the states, like I'm in Tennessee, they ship them out to Tennessee and they don't ask the governor. They just spread 'em everywhere and they don't care about COVID-19."

Like racists of old, who had nothing against N***ers, they just didn’t want their daughters to marry one, Mr. Johnson assures us he has nothing against “Mexicans,” they just need to go “through proper channels.”  And be rejected, because they are disease-carrying rapists and criminals, right?  And they get free money to do it….somehow.  That part really doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the favorite line of racists since at least the end of the civil war:  those black/former slaves are getting something for free that you poor whites aren’t getting, so you should be mad at them!  Not at the white guys who won’t pay you shit for your labor because, why should they share the wealth you are creating for them, with you?

I know, I know, I’m a socialist.  I’ll leave quietly.
