GOP wonder boy tells on himself: Cawthorn calls on (white) women to do their duty by raising little fascists

(Salon) When they keep telling you who they really are, believe them. Unfortunately, too many Americans are still in a state of denial, five years or more after Donald Trump and the Republican fascists dropped the mask and revealed their true intentions.

If America's democracy crisis is a fever, it shows no sign of breaking. Indeed, the normalization of political and social deviance has taken a firm hold among tens of millions of Americans who support Trump and the Republican-fascist movement — and their numbers keep growing.

But the Trump phenomenon is not the root cause of what's wrong with America: it reflects a much deeper political and societal sickness.

Last week on Twitter, Dr. Bandy Lee, co-editor of the bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," used powerful language to describe America in this moment: "We know that, when the sewage system is not cleaned up, it becomes a breeding ground for disease. It is the same for society: when the political and economic systems are not cleaned up, it becomes an environment for mental pathology to thrive."

During his speech, Cawthorn tried to cloak his call for breeding sociopathic white men with claims that his primary concern was about declining testosterone rates. In reality, he is embracing and encouraging an ideal of (white) fascist motherhood. .............(more)

because one of the most brilliant men I ever knew was a psychiatrist who spent his adult life in a wheelchair. But I will make an exception in this case. It's not his physical limitations that are the problem.

Mr Cawthorn's limitations stem from his distorted perception of masculinity. True men have deep compassion, an innate sense of protection of the weak and vulnerable, and respect for truth, honesty, and an unrelenting sense of self-sacrifice for the welfare of others. To equate masculinity with testosterone levels is immature - pre-pubescent, to be kind. No wonder he appears to identify with the neo-Nazi mindset he mimics in his idiotic utterances. His problem appears to be pronounced and unaddressed immaturity.

In addition, he argues irrationally, from confusion and ignorance of his alleged "sources." In his immaturity and ignorance, he is a perfect representative of the current Republican party. May he dissolve, with that cult-like group, into obscurity and irrelevance. The Know-Nothings of the past have been surpassed by those who know even less, and Cawthorn demonstrates precisely why this is true. What a bunch of morons!
