America! Home of idiots and other various f***tards! This is all propaganda pageantry intended to portray innocuous patriotism. I mean, who wouldn’t mind the president being more presidential-looking? Yeah, but not in the vein of Putin. Not to mention that such an image smacks of authoritarianism. But whatever. This is actually what America desires! And the morons are about to get exactly what they want! This should be an embarrassment, but America has become an embarrassment to the world and humanity.
I am reminded of a quote from John Thomas Flynn’s As We Go Marching, published in 1944, “But when fascism comes, it will not be in the form of an anti-American movement or pro-Hitler bund, practicing disloyalty. Nor will it come in the form of a crusade against war. It will appear rather in the luminous robes of flaming patriotism; it will take some genuinely indigenous shape and color, and it will spread only because its leaders, who are not yet visible, will know how to locate the great springs of public opinion and desire and the streams of thought that flow from them and will know how to attract to their banners leaders who can command the support of the controlling minorities in American public life. The danger lies not so much in the would-be Fuhrers who may arise but in the presence in our midst of certainly deeply running currents of hope and appetite and opinion. The war upon fascism must be begun there.”
Then there is this question of the Hatch Act. Does anyone realize that the traitor trump administration’s constant breach of the Hatch Act is dangerous? That their co-mingling of party politics and the government is creating governmental rule wherein the party is the government, and the government is the party? Ala China or Nazi Germany! Does anybody see this? Anybody out there? Is it just me? Am I truly the only one who sees this? Ugh! I live in stupid hell. America’s democratic government is not a government ruled by one party. There may be times when one party holds the White House and Congress, but whatever the party, the government is supposed to be for everybody — not just the party in power. But traitor trump is fixing that, and no one seems to care because this is stupid clueless America. These are all micro changes and subtleties that go unnoticed, but it will be too late once these changes are amassed. RepubliKKKlans have been consolidating power for decades, especially at the state level, which will lock in the Electoral College (forever), and in the Judiciary, which will gladly ensure that conservative values and power rule America for generations to come. It may already be too late. Likely is already too late. This is, after all, trump stupid America, and fascism is here — American style: “When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” (Unattributable and indeed!)
