For the past couple of years I’ve gotten a lot of flack for my continuous attack on the GOP as being a “fascist cult”. Even though with each passing week Trump does something even more immoral and threatening to our democracy and his support in Congress and among Republicans around the country doesn’t slip an inch, I am told we must be civil, that it’s inappropriate to use terms like fascist and cult.
A couple of days ago Jimmy Carter came out and violated every “norm” for an ex president by standing up for our democracy and declaring, in his VERY professional opinion, Trump is not a legitimately elected president. Today, Trump’s proposal to move children seeking asylum to GITMO with some of the worlds worst terrorists and insulated from the U.S. justice system, is looking like it just might happen. And one of the most prominent members of the right wing propaganda machine has shown us what GOP fascism is moving towards.
But surely it can’t happen here, they would never stoop so low, the bar can’t get any lower…? Go back 2 ½ years and make a list of all the things that have come to past that so many people were certain could never happen.
The stalling, slow walking, TV tough talking Democratic leadership that folds like a worn out deck of cards is emboldening an ever growing aggressive GOP to take actions like the FL governor/legislature that stuck a thumb in the eye of voters with more voter suppression, or the cult SCOTUS that just OK’d the GOP to rig elections with extreme gerrymandering…
We have the opportunity to stand up and fight this Republican move toward fascism by taking bold moves in the House of representatives, but our leaders cower in fear that fighting to protect our democracy might offend a Trumpite in rural Michigan. The GOP fascist cult is on the wrong side of history, and our Democratic leadership is simply ignoring history.
Time is getting very short, Trump again just invited Putin to hack next years election and we just learned the Trump campaign is using the same propaganda techniques with a fake Joe Biden website as the Russians use.
Democrats could not buy a $billion worth of TV ads that would give them the coverage of an impeachment inquiry. If you want the Democrats to stand up and fight, instead of crossing their fingers that they can beat Trump, rigged elections, Russian attacks, and a both sides media next year, contact your Democratic representative that has not yet publicly endorsed an impeachment inquiry and tell them get on board, now!
RESIST!
