I’ve been pointing out Trump’s parallel’s to Hitler and Nazi Germany in his conduct and propaganda for YEARS! Since Trump 1.0. It seems to me if it’s so obvious to a retired 6th grade Middle School teacher why is it so difficult for our Main Stream Media (MSM) to come to grips with reality? It took years for the MSM to start using the word “authoritarianism” as they continue trying to report on Trump 2.0. Until they start using the correct term, fascism, to describe Trump’s assault on America our nation will continue its descent into the unthinkable. There’s at least three more years of this.
Naturally, the fascist assault on our nation is much more than just “Trumpism.” I’ve also pointed out Project 2025 as a “roadmap to fascism” for at least 15 months. I was pointing this out during the 2024 campaign and was discouraged the democrats weren’t attempting to educate the American public with more urgency during the campaign. Remember there were 179 “authors” of that “deplorable” document.
Trump LIED when asked about Project 2025 saying he didn’t know much about it, but it was not part of his “platform.” (Of course, anyone paying attention knows when Trump’s lips are moving he’s LYING.) I have no doubts Trump hasn’t read Project 2025 but the reality those who wrote it are integrated into his administration and this is undeniable. The question I have is how many members of the SCOTUS read it.
I mention the SCOTUS because they are largely responsible for what is happening. It was Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Alito who were largely responsible for the Citizen’s United decision back around 2010 that allowed unimaginable amounts of dark MONEY to flow into our elections. (See: (f)Elon Musk spending close to $300 MILLION to get Trump elected among other examples) The Court has attacked the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (Possibly to render it moot later this year) and, of course, their unthinkable “absolute immunity” decision has convinced Trump the laws don’t apply to him. (As his minions claim “no one is above the law” while they’re arresting those on Trump’s “enemies list.” – except, of course, Trump and republicans)
How bad is it? Well, Trump has virtually declared war on (America’s cities plus) Venezuela – blowing up boats as they move in the waters off the coast of Venezuela with, so far, over 20 people being killed. Also, so far, no “evidence” to even support their (Trump’s and Hegseth’s) contention these are people bringing drugs to somewhere??? Here’s the deal: How hard would it be for one of our ships to stop the boats, and confiscate the drugs while arresting the smugglers if that’s what they are? Reminds me of when Ronald Reagan wanted to look “tough” back in the 80’s when he had our troops invade GRANADA! That’s right, GRANADA. If you’re younger than say 50 you probably don’t remember this great American victory. It was like GRANADA had no answer for Reagan’s military assault. (I’m not sure they had a military) Now we’re watching a similar (absurd) military fiasco in the waters off Venezuela. And, members of Congress are asking each other, “Is this legal?” Answer: Of course not!
Well, that leads me to my next point. Can’t members of Congress simply ask the Department of Justice whether or not these MURDERS are legal? All they would have to do is run it by Pam Bondi, Right? Did you happen to watch any of the oversight hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee where Bondi put on a performance (for the ages) that’s never been seen before? If you watched it you would understand how “fruitful” it would be to run this by the DOJ. In fact, another of my points supporting that FASCISM is already here and the next 3+ years look a bit depressing. Does Trump actually believe MURDERING Venezuelans in boats off the coast of Venezuela and then sharing the videos of the boats being obliterated will get him the Nobel Peace Prize?
Does Trump believe LYING about what’s going on in the “Democrat cities” and then sending in American troops AGAINST American citizens in frog costumes will get him the prize he so desires? How about this? Is Trump’s turncoat decision to appear taking sides with Russia in their ILLEGAL invasion of Ukraine while more and more Ukrainian civilians are MURDERED a way to get that Nobel prize? All of this while Trump is threatening to torpedo the entire world economy? Personally, I don’t think the Norwegians who give out the prizes are looking at Trump as a “peacemaker.” (Even the Gaza “peace plan” appears to be on shaky ground)
Now: This government shutdown, while republicans are blaming democrats (duh), is actually right out of the playbook of Project 2025. Watch Russel Vought during the shutdown as he attempts to fire THOUSANDS of government public servants because he suspects they are not sufficiently “loyal.” (This is where we make references to organized crime similarities) Their plan, all along, has been to FIRE as many government workers as they can get away with and replace those they feel are needed with people who will pledge loyalty to Trump as opposed to the constitution. Everywhere you look you SHOULD see FASCISM. I keep saying it to the MSM (OK, I know they aren’t listening) it’s NOT “authoritarianism” – it’s FASCISM! They are afraid to use the term!
I keep reading about republican communication people complaining about all the “mean” people calling them Nazi’s or fascists. (Guilty as charged) Well, what’s the saying, “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies like a duck, it’s a duck. Have you read recently about the “young republicans” who had their Telegram “chat” leaked to Politico? In it there were a plethora of uses of racist words and memes. They shared things like “I love Hitler,” anyone who votes against me should get “gassed,” the so-called “n-word” was used over 200 times and it only got worse as it was described. Who was their biggest defender? Yep, it was VP JD Vance. Calling 40 year old’s kids!
Have you fallen into the category of Americans who don’t understand Trump is a racist? If so, you probably watch Fox “news” or one of the other right wing propaganda sights, and there’s likely no chance I’ll be able to help you. I mean, if you remember, just 10 months ago “(f)Elon Musk threw a couple Sieg Hiels at Trump’s inauguration to the dismay of nary a republican. So, this “fascism” thing shouldn’t really surprise you. The reality is there’s a long line of BILLIONAIRES – who control MUCH of the media in America – Musk, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, the heads of Google, Microsoft, etc. etc. are ALL succumbing to their urge for more MONEY over their pledge to our constitutional republic. And, trust me, they know full well what fascism is! Joe Biden warned of “Oligarchy.” It’s here! One of the tenets of fascism is a corporate/government partnership!
Trump has taught republicans the benefits of LYING! (Comes right out of the Third Reich) So, it’s not surprising to hear Mike Johnson (he of Bible thumper fame) spewing a mouthful of LIES virtually every time he’s speaking in public theses days. (Not my version of Christianity) He is now referring to the upcoming “No Kings” protest this coming weekend (I’ll be there with my cane) as the “hate America rally.” He’s also suggesting those who are going to be there are “Pro Hamas supporters,” “Antifa,” (whoever that is – I’m personally against fascism if that’s not obvious) and the “Marxists” – “they all will be on full display.” I, personally, know MANY who will be there and I don’t think any of them “hate America.” (We’re a bunch of white guys in our 70’s and 80’s)
Keep this in mind. I believe Trump and Johnson WANT these protests to break out in violence for two reasons – one in particular. The first reason is Trump will use that as his reason for sending in American troops against American citizens – as if local law enforcement can’t handle local law enforcement problems. Here’s the other, and MAIN, reason: Trump wants to flood America’s “democrat run” cities with actual members of America’s military. He’s attempting to provoke protesters to give him a “reason” to implement the “insurrection act” with the ultimate plan to make sure there isn’t a mid-term election if he’s unable to CHEAT enough to make sure republicans maintain their control of Congress. (Like the SCOTUS gutting what’s left of the Voting Rights Act of 1965) Like I’ve been saying: It’s FASCISM! Pure and simple! Stay tuned!!!
Final Thought: I’ve been speaking to anyone who’ll listen for many years – since well before Trump took that trip down the escalator in 2015, rights are much easier to LOSE than to regain. We are seeing an organized scheme to “turn back the clock” on rights which have been granted (or should I say won) over the previous 90 or so years. What we’re talking about, in essence, is the New Deal – which republicans have fought against since the days when FDR’s administration started implementing many of the rights republicans are attempting to roll back. Liberals have fought for rights many people today take for granted. It’s a long list, but includes the 40 hour work week, labor law, child labor laws, overtime, unemployment insurance, and a plethora more as time went by – including the Voting Rights Act mentioned above that the SCOTUS appears to be poised to put their final touches on eliminating one of the great victories in America’s attempt to be a “more perfect union.” This SCOTUS is a part of the fascist movement in America.
The fight over the so-called “government shutdown” is a continuation of the republicans’ hatred of liberal reforms as they are attempting to cause MILLIONS of Americans to lose their health insurance OR face huge increases in the premiums. What will it take for “we the people” to turn against these cowardly republicans in Congress – with Mike Johnson at the head of the pack? This weekend’s “No Kings” protest is simply another small step in what is needed. We MUST do whatever it takes to make sure there are mid-term elections in November of 2026 – PLUS, it is incumbent on “We the people” to do whatever it takes to cast a ballot in those elections – that Trump is scheming to block. We MUST overcome every obstacle these Project 2025 goons put in our way! And, we MUST be prepared to vote AGAINST republicans for AT LEAST the next generation. Every one of these cowardly members of Congress need to get a page in our History books as the traitors they are. Trump’s spot is reserved right next to Benedict Arnold! And, these deplorable times must NEVER be forgotten!
There’s so much more I could write about supporting my claim FASCISM is already here. The ICE agents, for example, dragging people out of cars, snagging them off the street, breaking down doors and disappearing people – ALL without warrants is another parallel to 1930’s Germany. Now the arrests of “political enemies” has begun and it shouldn’t be long until anyone who publicly declares their disgust with Trump or his sycophants will be targets. Yikes!!!
