This being July 4, it’s appropriate to paraphrase a call to arms from the American Revolution: The fascists are coming! More importantly perhaps, we should now be asking: Can we survive Donald Trump and his far-right MAGA hordes? Can we survive Bernie Sanders, AOC, and others from the far-left whatever-you-want-to-call-them? Can we survive Le Pen,… Continue reading The fascists are coming!

2024, the last US election?
Paul Krugman made a valid point June 2 in his NY Times op-ed: 2024, barring a civil war (that comment’s from me), could be the last US election if Donald J. Trump is elected. (The civil war could occur either before or after that, of course.) Because he was convicted of thirty-four felony counts of… Continue reading 2024, the last US election?
Motor-Mouth Marjorie…et al!
As if that “f%$#ing moron” wasn’t enough of a threat to the country, those fascist Good Ole Piranhas have motivated his major idiotic acolytes to not only pucker up and kiss his butt but spew utter nonsense that even reliable media outlets try to follow because what they say is so damn absurd. As if… Continue reading Motor-Mouth Marjorie…et al!
Murder on Fifth Avenue?
So…concerning SCOTUS’s deliberations about presidential impunity: If the court’s fascist judges have their way, will Trump, when and if he’s the next president, be able to actually murder someone on NYC’s Fifth Avenue and get away with it? That’s what those judges forming SCOTUS’s fascist junta might actually allow him to do! Of course, they’ll… Continue reading Murder on Fifth Avenue?
Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
Double-speak was defined by George Orwell in 1984, that dystopian and depressing novel that so masterfully outlined the dangers of fascism, but historians might have to change the date to 2024 when analyzing the events that turned the US and the world to fascism yet again. The US and several other traditional democracies are definitely… Continue reading Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
The law v. the mafia-Don…
Al Capone and other big-time gangsters were never put away for major crimes they themselves committed, so we shouldn’t be surprised that the mafia-Don and his family and closest minions would be exceptions: The law has to chip away at the Trump organization slowly but surely to put them out of business. That’s what’s occurring,… Continue reading The law v. the mafia-Don…
Urban vs. rural…
I’ve made a mistake in my analyses of the future of American democracy (or lack thereof): The next civil war won’t necessarily pit red states against blue states. Just like now when elections are often won in suburban America—let’s call that the conurbation of a major city instead to emphasize the connection with the urban—the… Continue reading Urban vs. rural…
Is this where the new civil war will begin?
Wars often begin in unusual places or in unusual circumstances. Civil wars, not so much; but the US is a big country! The Tennessee legislature’s scandal seems to be an unusual circumstance, but in many ways that state, as birthplace of the KKK, would be a fitting place to begin a new civil war. There’s… Continue reading Is this where the new civil war will begin?
‘Twas quite the debacle!
If there is anyone left in the US—no, even in the rest of the world!—who didn’t know earlier that the Good Ole Piranhas (aka GOP aka Republicans) are immature, self-destructive fascist idiots who are incapable of governing a sandbox in a schoolyard, they only had to watch the torturous proceedings in the chambers of the… Continue reading ‘Twas quite the debacle!
Midterm elections analysis, part two: A more detailed look…
[Note from Steve to all readers of this blog: Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for today, not the least of which is the thwarting of the nefarious plans of the FPA, aka “Fascist Party of America” aka Good Ole Piranhas, to destroy American democracy…at least for the time being. That’s worthy… Continue reading Midterm elections analysis, part two: A more detailed look…
