The FPA (that’s Fascist Party of America aka Good Ole Piranhas aka Republicans) and their supporters are using some of the same words to describe the Dems that Dems use to describe the FPA: politicos ruining America…Godless devils…evil monsters, etc., etc. The FPA adds socialists and communists to their taunts, and its QAnon wing adds perverts, baby-eaters, and other insults taken from their conspiracy theories. Being a lot saner and more polite individuals, the Dems avoid calling the FPA and their supporters fascists, bigots, and racists, but that’s what they are; in addition to ruining America to create the FSA (that’s the Fascist States of America), they’re Godless devils because they pervert religion to serve fascism, and they’re willing to do evil against anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Hey Dems, this is no time to play nice! The FPA wants to tear down America, a democracy that used to be a shining light for everyone yearning for justice and freedom. The Dems are trying to defend America and save it from the MAGA fascist hordes in the FPA. This isn’t simple political polarization in a time of national elections. It’s an existential battle for the soul of America!
The FPA’s definition of the word “freedom” is right out of 1984’s fascist playbook as well as every autocratic leader’s evil lexicon. It’s Orwell’s doublespeak on overdrive because freedom for the FPA and fascists everywhere means exactly the opposite of what it does to sane people who love freedom. To fascists, it means that they are free to impose their will on anyone else and have the right to throw anyone in jail who doesn’t go along with that, even to kill them. That’s what happened in Hitler’s Nazi Germany; that’s what has occurred in Russia since Putin took over; that’s what’s occurring now in Xi’s China; and it’s what’s now happening to the FPA, who wants all of America to join those infamous groups of world fascists. Are you willing to go along with that? Then prepare for the consequences!
An article in the NY Times’s op-ed pages on 10/23 pointed out that there have never been many guarantees since America’s founding to prevent a fascist takeover. From the very first days of the republic, there were enough fascist personalities even among the Founding Fathers to force the creation of several undemocratic institutions, notably egregious examples of the Senate, Supreme Court, and Electoral College. The idea those fascist Founding Fathers had was simple: The rabble hordes might try to overthrow the established order, so these fascist institutions would protect them from that occurrence. Surprise, surprise! They didn’t put enough checks on the fascists using them for their own ends! No check on the Senate or Supreme Court, not even with term or age limits; and no popular vote for president, only that arcane EC that could counter ant popular vote, as it has, mostly with Republican presidential candidates, many who have won in the EC but not in the popular vote—those candidates include Trump in 2016! Ironic, isn’t it, when Trump brays like the moronic ass he is about the election being stolen in 2020, he forgets that he stole the election from the people in 2016 because he lost the popular vote! (Biden won both in the EC and the popular vote in 2020, by the way, as have many Dem presidential candidates.)
No, sadly the Founding Fathers left too many loopholes fascists can use to wrest power away from the people. (In their defense, how could they have predicted that 40% of the voting public could become insane?) The MAGA morons are in the minority; so were the Nazis in Germany. Democratic institutions are fragile enough that a minority bent on staging a coup can take over most any democratic country. Trump complained once about those “shithole countries,” possibly referring to their instability. (More than likely as places where he couldn’t have his gold toilets? He wasn’t worried about what was coming out of his mouth.) He and his followers want to turn the US into one. No doubt about that! The FPA might as well announce that as their party’s plank.
What usually characterizes nations where democracy ends is that their majorities become complacent. My fellow Americans, now isn’t the time for us to become complacent! We must not let the fascist minority in America win in 2022 or 2024. We must send the knuckle-dragging fascist white apes who lead the FPA back into their ice caves. If we don’t, Americans will be fleeing the fascist US just like Russians are fleeing the fascist Russia, a stampede to save ourselves from the FPA.
As I’ve stated before, the majority of Americans aren’t fascists. We have an obligation to fight for our democratic ideals. If that means a civil war, so be it! Bring it on! We outnumber the fascist bastards!
These will be my last words for now on the midterm elections. I’ve already voted with these posts and in the ballot box. I’m preparing to vote with a gun if needs be to protect American democracy. That might require quarantining all the crazies in a new FSA by force. Sad that it could come to this!
