Dr. Tony Fauci — Lightening Rod

Man, do my Traditionalist relatives fucking hate Dr. Tony Fauci. The only person they loath more is Hillary Clinton. They have come to imbue him with everything they hate about the modern world and how if they could only make liberals go away we could all accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

They fucking hate the man’s guts.

But why? What about him has made Dr. Fauci such a political hot potato?

Well, I think some of it comes from his refusal to bend a knee to ding Donald Trump. And, then, smelling blood in the water, the fucking cocksuckers of the Right wing echo chamber decided to throw everything they could at Fauci in hopes that he might resign so he could be replaced with some MAGA toady who would suck Trump’s cock instead of making sure Americans were safe.

Remember, it was difficult for Trump to fire Fauci outright because he’s a civil servant and, as such, is protected. But Trump, in his second term, plans to use his “Schedule F” idea to clear the way to firing as many as 50,000 civil servants because, fuck you lib.

I keep telling my Traditionalist relatives to calm the fuck down. I tell them to put the pitchforks away, they’re going to get everything they want if they just wait. Republicans and, as such, fascists, are ascendant and we’re all going to have to start making some pretty big choices about what it means to live in A Very American Autocracy.

Proving my point, Dr. Fauci has announced his retirement pretty soon and that STILL isn’t enough for Republicans. I’m beginning to worry that the fucking cocksuckers of Fox News want physical harm to happen to Dr. Fauci. Fuck, those fuckers — especially Jesse Waters — can eat shit.

Excuse me. I’m in a bad mood.

Anyway, pour one out for Dr. Fauci. Things are bleak in the US at the moment, an only getting worse by the moment. The moment Republicans gain control of any sort again we’re going to lurch into autocratic fascism. If you have the means, leave the country.

Here’s my theory for why Dr. Anthony Fauci is hated so much by the MAGA New Right: the chief reason is he is Trump’s peer age-wise and he has the validation of the liberal media that Trump craves so badly. And because it was difficult for Trump to fire Fauci, the more he refused to tow the MAGA line about what to do about COVID19, the more the frustration with him within MAGA New Right circles grew.

Be prepared.

So, by this point, Republicans’ hatred of Fauci is so white hot that you would think he was the literal devil. He has come to represent everything they hate in American society and nothing will stop them from trying to destroy him with everything tool they have.

Which brings up a very dark situation — the man is in his 80s, and he’s going to retire simply because he’s old sooner rather than later. And given the bloodlust the MAGA New Right has about him on a personal level, I just don’t see the process of finding his replacement going very smoothly.

In fact, in the end, either the position will go unfilled or it will stay vacant until a re-elected Trump (or similar would-be autocrat) can fill the position with a toady who will kowtow to MAGA New Right ideology.

Or, put another way, the whole fight over Fauci is going to become pretty moot one way or another a lot sooner than you might think. Either he retires and the position is left open until MAGA New Right replaces him with an idiot, or we have a civil war, the Blues States win and one of the gradual things that will happen as our war-torn country returns to normal will be replacing Fauci with someone of equal ability, experience and skill.

Anyway, in general we’re fucked. Good luck.
