American Taíno: Giving License to Minutemen: The GOP In the Driver’s Seat by Michael O’Neill

License to Minutemen: The GOP In the Driver’s Seat

In the noisome living room of the nativist hard right, for the GOP Militant today, there is only a cesspool darkness of the future of our nation. A darkness threatening to overtake the U.S. by a demographic ascendancy and territorial conquest; this darkness has replaced that traditional vanquished enemy, godless communism, by a far more subversive danger spreading over America’s interior, throughout its breath and width. There is no longer any lip service to “Morning in America” given the future framed by a permanent Midnight in America where darkness descends upon our culture as a dark people of color rise to become the democratic majority.”*
