Blue Life Matter – fascist blueshirts who support murder of black lives and protesters in the streets.

The RNC upped the hate speech this year, all too obvious were the lies and denial, Trump claiming all but a victory over Covid 19, despite the nearly 200k deaths due to his administration’s willfull negligence in picking economy over humanlife. But they shifted the conversation to a much more salient topic – the massive uprisings over racist police violence occurring in every major city in the country. They knew who were behind it tho – “far left extremists”, which include Black Lives Matter, Antifa, ‘the marxist mob’, etc, who they say control Biden like a puppet and call the shots in the Democrat party. During the RNC, Kenosha rose up to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake, who survived after 7 shots with his back turned by a white officer.

Then we all saw young fascist Kyle Rittenhouse, a wannabe cop and major fanboy of the Blue Lives Matter movement, driven by his mother across state lines with an automatic rifle and link up with militia types, working hand in hand with police on the street, receiving praise and water for being out there as an armed opposition the the protests going on. The country was rocked as multiple videos come out showing this child soldier murdering two protesters and injuring another, and then walking right past the cops who didn’t care that he openly confessed to killing 2 people, letting him drive home safe and unscathed. The double standard in such a small amount of time in the same place perfectly encapsulates the way white people get away with murder while black people and other POC in this country are always seen as dangers and threats, even when unarmed.

What do the blue lifers think about the blood on their movements hand? Of course Kyle becomes their hero, their martyr, who stood his ground against protesters who went too far, who was acting in self defense as he was driven to a city he is not from, to ‘defend’ businesses and property that were not his. Why, last year we would have thought it’d be unanimous in our horror and condemnation of such mass violence, but now, nobody is surprised that this happened, yet it is still a turning point in the rise of fascism. Blue Lifers and right wingers are full-on embracing the violence against Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, #FREEKYLE is their mantra, as countless defenses of the murderer and analysis of the videos vindicate his violence and demonize his victims, and fundraising pages litter the internet supporting this child soldier of the fascist right.

The Blue Life Matter movement is not slowing down, and is becoming increasingly emboldened and aggressive, even after the connections between far right extremest violence and the pro-cop movement have become far too crystal clear, captured in video for all to see. Literally days later, fueled by support from their fuhrer, blue lifers come in full force with a Trump / pro Cop caravan circumventing Portland and entering the city to just go around shooting protesters with paintball guns and mace, while waving real guns around as a reminder that they are perfectly willing to end someones life at any given moment. They come inches within full on running over protesters, as always, we’re always one step away from another death.
We know it is white supremacists who commit the violence in this country, in fact they are responsible for 329 deaths in 2020. 

But in Portland, an antifascist shot and killed a fascist for the first time in 25 years. 3 days later, after a vice interview, the cops came and put 25 bullets in him in what is clearly a hit. Rest in power Michael Forest Reinoehl,  Joseph Rosenbaum, and Anthony Huber.


Whats happening in Kenosha can happen anywhere; it’s only a matter of time till this scene plays out again in another city. It is clear the country could potentially boil over from its cold state of civil war into a full blown regional conflict. Trump is already poised to contest the results of the elections, with his war on mail-in ballots and fascist violent vigilantes working hand in hand with law enforcement in the streets, ready to put down any uprising.  Trump himself says he is full on ready to challenge the results, and he will surely have the support of at least the less ‘moderate’ Republicans will support him along with his indoctrinated base. He very well could refuse to leave the white house. In this case no doubt the battle will rage in the street. But Biden might not have the gall to challenge the electoral system if he wins the popular vote and loses by electors. Whoever wins we will keep fighting anyway because we know that the neoliberal Dems have and will continue to fail us and hold back the revolution. Link up with the comrades, apparently we gotta put down the confederates again.
