https://www.arthursido.com/2021/09/they-have-met-enemy-and-he-is-us.html?m=1A significant escalation happened just a few days ago when George W. Bush declared that domestic "violent extremists", aka regular White Americans, were at least as dangerous as and motivated by the same "foul spirit" as the 9/11 hijackers and mass murderers.
Don't dismiss Bush as an irrelevant dimwit. Although that is true and he is, his statement was a powerful stamp of imprimatur from a prominent establishment Republican on the narrative from the Left regarding White people.
The Republican Party at the establishment level has written off most of the Republican base as dangerous and uncontrollable and mostly seems to be clamoring for us to re-invade Afghanistan. Pat Buchanan has a good piece about the Bush 9/11 20th anniversary speech: Who and What Is Tearing the US Apart?. Here is an excerpt:
What is Bush saying here?
That Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran shot to death trying to enter the House chamber on Jan. 6, and Mohamed Atta, who drove an airliner into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in a massacre of close to 3,000 people, are “children of the same foul spirit.”
That is exactly correct, as Pat almost always is. RTWT. We are supposed to believe that Mohamed Atta, a villain who should never be forgotten for allegedly masterminding the 9/11 attacks that resulted in the deaths of 3000 Americans, is basically the same as an American woman, a veteran no less, who was murdered in cold blood for "trespassing" in a public building.
Either Bush is too stupid to understand what he is saying, which is quite possible, or he is fully aware of the ridiculous comparison and said it anyway. If you disagree with the political narrative and go so far as to protest in a way that caused some very minor property damage, then obviously your motivation is the same as a person who led a band of Islamist loons to murder thousands of people and causes billions in damage.
Only a sociopath or someone who holds a visceral hatred for America and the American people would make that claim. Bush appears to be both and his words, echoed and praised by the neo-Bolshevik Left, are dangerous in the extreme.
