Apparently Right Wing MAGAT Nutjobs Do Not Understand What A Democratic Constitutional Republic Is

A couple times previous I have blogged about an individual who was in my high school class, who did not attain sufficient credits to graduate. Previous to that he had been held back a couple years. This individual posts regularly on Facebook, sharing his learned observations.

I find this individual's mind meanderings interesting. Methinks he is representative of much of the right wing nutjob world, also known as Trump MAGATS. 

If you do not have exposure to the type nonsense this guy spews, and thinks to be true, you can't know how totally ridiculous that which these types believe to be true, is. It is downright appalling.

I know some of can be explained by the Dunning-Kruger Effect, basically people too stupid to know they are stupid. But still, with all our modern era means of checking information, it is almost like you must have to almost work at it to remain so woefully stupid.

I refer to the person to which I am referring, as Pal Duller. The two previous blog posts about this individual were Right Wing Nutjob Facebook Plea for Mr. Trump to Save Seattle & Washington and Pal Duller Thinks Obama Began America's Downfall & Washington's Communist Governor is Destroying 90% of the Population

In today's blog post about Pal Duller's Facebook spewing's I am sharing some of the more embarrassing right wing nutjob MAGAT type postings.

The one above is a classic. You see this frequently. Right wing nutjobs who do not understand what a Constitutional Republic is, or what a Democracy is, think this makes sense.

It really takes little effort, via Googling, to alleviate one out of their woeful ignorance about this Democratic Constitutional Republic subject.

The above is classic bizarro world right wing nutjob nonsense. Leftists are usually well-educated, which is what causes them to be progressive and liberal. And thus, deal with actual facts when operating in this world. Whilst rightists of our modern era do not much deal with facts. They mostly deal with ignorant opinion, based on nothing factual.

How can Pal Duller be a few years older than me and not know that one needs a voter's registration card, to vote, along with another identification, like a driver's license. Has Pal Duller never voted?

The right wing nutjob MAGAT sorts have really been thrown a loop by the fact that on Saturday the NO KINGS Protests became the largest mass protest in American history. That, and the NO KING Protests happened world-wide. I am assuming the above meme, where the guy says "So I went to the "no kings" protest today..." is supposed to indicate that the massive protests were a gay thing. Is that what this means? Sometimes the stupid is really hard to figure out.

Again, another bizarro world right wing nutjob MAGAT meme which is the opposite of reality. Again, too stupid to know they are stupid.

Oh yes, I am sure whoever created the above meme thought they were being totally clever, totally making a valid point. Whilst having zero clue that what they were actually doing was advertising how woefully stupid and clueless they are.

This has been just one day's sampling of Pal Duller's Facebook postings. Maybe I'll make a habit of sharing the Duller's postings, so as to give those who do not have direct exposure to the right wing nutjob twisted mindset, examples of the type lunacy which causes them to utter the idiotic nonsense they way too often ignorantly utter...

Anti-Immigrant Demonizing Takes Me Back To My Family History & Know Nothing MAGATS

My Dutch ancestors arrived in America way back in 1882. Of those who made the float from Holland to America, the only one still here, for me to know, when I arrived, was my Great Grandma Tillie. Great Grandma Tillie's funeral was the first such I remember attending.

Great Grandma Tillie was married to Great Grandpa John. Great Grandpa John died before I was born. My Great Grandparents migrated from Holland with Great Grandpa John's parental units, my Great Great Grandpa Cornelis and Great Great Grandma Aagje.

I may have some names spelled wrong.

Upon arrival in America my ancestors moved to several locations, looking for a place to permanently call home. Including a short stay in Texas. Eventually my Great Grandpa John was sent, solo, via train, to the West Coast, to extreme north Washington, near the border with Canada, because they'd heard there was a Dutch community, called Lynden there.

Great Grandpa John returned from Lynden to tell his family that the area was like Holland, but with big mountains. He brought back a pinecone to give them an idea of how big the trees were. Soon the family made the trek west, farming a large track of land a couple miles east of Lynden.

In the photo you are looking at some of the Slotemaker farm land. That is my niece, Ruby, sitting on my shoulder, under the road sign which is named after us.

That photo was taken in August of 2017. I have not been back to Washington since then.

All the fussing about immigration, illegal aliens, undocumenteds and such, has had me wondering about how my ancestors came to be American.

On August 11, 2001, I was in Washington, at my mom and dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary party.

At that party I was given a box of family photos, and other documents, which I then brought back with me to Texas.

Among those documents were two family histories. One of which you see photo documented on the right.

From these documents I learned, for the first time, how my ancestors came to be in America.

A month after mom and dad's 50th on August 11, a week after I got back to Texas, 9/11 arrived and changed the world we live in.

This somehow made me suddenly have an interest in my family history. I began scanning all the photos I took back to Texas with me.

Soon I became making a Slotemaker Family History website. It soon became huge. 

Then on July 22, 2002, the largest reunion in family history took place, at the Lynden Fairgrounds.

At the top, that is a coffee cup from that reunion, sitting on my laptop, with the Slotemaker website on the screen. (That website is no longer on-line, but still exists)

Yet, with all this family interaction I still do not know the precise means by which my ancestors entered America. Did they have some sort of visa when they left Holland? Where did they enter America? Ellis Island? Were they what we call undocumented aliens nowadays?

This whole anti-immigrant hate speaking totally annoys me. The demonizing is so wrong. And America has a long history of such.

Way back in the first half of the 1850s, before the Civil War, there was a short-lived political party called the American Party. Made up of what the sorts we now call MAGATS.

The better educated Americans of that era took to calling the American Party the Know Nothings. Again, the Know Nothings were what we now call MAGATS.

Like the MAGATS, the Know Nothings demonized immigrants, particularly the Irish and Catholics, whilst being ardent advocates of native-born Protestant dominance.

Sound familiar? 

The most famous Know Nothing MAGAT of the 1850s, the Donald Trump of that era, was Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States...
