Maggat Rule

I caught this in the NY Times today and it struck a chord on our descent into Trumpian dictatorship. It looks like a fairly accurate movie about his early years won’t be shone in the US before the election. At Cannes people stood an applauded for a long count explaining the recent figures from nations all over the world whose citizens are rooting against Trump.

Here’s the story followed by my comments about surrendering to tiki torch bearing maggats…..the flies of tomorrow.
The Chilling Reason You May Never See the New Trump Movie https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/14/opinion/the-apprentice-trump-movie.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

In recent years there have been several blatantly political movies intended to change viewers opinions. Dinish Desouza made one 2000 Mules with bullshit about a stollen election which still as the maggats chewing over falsehoods. It wasn’t denied movie showings but its makers pulled it themselves in the face of lawsuits over defamation. Let the Trumpers do that but don’t let them scare movie theaters from letting us get a good look at the young Donald Trump.

I know about Trump’s long relationship with the disgraces attorney Roy Cohn who he lamented he didn’t have as he was saddled with scores of court cases. Let the Trump maggats stay away as I did from 2000 Mules.

The best known movie that was almost frozen out of movie theaters was Orson Wells and Frank Mankowitz’s Citizen Cane. William Randolph Hearst a wannabe president who owned newspapers all across America had the clout to keep the movie out of America. An even more appalling movie was permitted to be shown in the US in 1915 the year my grandfather soon-to-be war hero was studying for his master’s degree in History at Columbia University in New York City.

It was the first mega hit in the movie world like Star Wars in the 1970’s. Based on the book the Klansman it threw red paint all over the truth of Reconstruction after the Civil War making the murderers and state’s rights renegades who put free black citizens back under ground heros. The movie was opposed by black leaders in Boston who wanted to spare their race the infamy of the movies false tropes and lies. But we have free speech and they couldn’t get it stopped. That god damned movie showed all over the nation including Duluth, Minnesota where six years later 10,000 people lynched three innocent black circus workers no doubt with that movie’s lies of black sex depravity and the half humanity of black citizens still on their minds.

If the Supreme Court could allow a race war to emerge across the nation from that movie why would we want to spare a politician today who is boosting a race war from an unflattering movie portrayal?????????

I think we must divide Trump supporters into different groups.

1. Hostage Republicans who value getting reelected over keeping their souls. These are the cowards like Pete Stauber.
2. Disturbed Christians who justify the destruction of our Democracy because it will save the lives of fetuses…and isn’t it interesting that the Baptists have become Catholics over the issue of instant soul-implantation at conception whether by incest, or rape.
3. Trumpers who are pretty much like the stoners who attended Grateful Dead Concerts AND
4. Maggats – gun toting Brownshirt wannabes.

I shake my head over the first three categories. I shake my fist at the fascists.
