The Masked Fourth

Masks and Traitors

America at 250, and these pathetic pieces of shit marched through Washington wearing masks. Masks may be the ultimate weak-man clothing. Confederate flag on display. Faces hidden. Big “Reclaim America” men too scared to be seen claiming anything.

Hundreds of weak, small men descended on DC chanting “Reclaim America!” Reclaim it from whom? They rode the Metro, marched near the Capitol, and carried that flag through the capital of the United States, the country the Confederacy took up arms against.

The message is white rule, intimidation, and masked weakness. The Confederate flag on the Fourth of July wasn’t subtle. That is what Reclaim America means when the men chanting it hide their faces.

They want fear without names. They want attention without faces. They want to threaten the country while hiding from their own neighbors. That’s the Patriot Front act in one stupid little package.

These people don’t love America. They love the version where white men hold the power and everyone else is expected to stay quiet. That’s what Reclaim America means when it comes with a Confederate flag and a covered face.

Trump had plenty to say about a “communist menace.” Funny how quiet it gets when white supremacists march through Washington on Independence Day. The White House didn’t respond when asked about the march.

That silence is useful to them. They don’t need Trump to hand them a thank-you note. They need the outrage pointed somewhere else. They don’t need everyone to support them. They need enough people to look away. They need enough officials to pretend the real danger is always somewhere else. That’s how this garbage survives. Masked men march. Powerful men look past them.

A mob of masked white supremacists marching through Washington with Confederate flags on the Fourth of July is not harmless. It’s not normal.

America at 250, and this is what crawled into the street. Not brave men. Weak little neo-fascists hiding their faces under a dead flag.
