ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOSE

 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOSE OF REPUBLICAN FASCISM, AMERICAN STYLE!

 

‘Slitting throats’: DeSantis copies Trump’s fantasies of violence The audience for conservative media imbibes the rhetoric of violence every day. The rhetoric of the contemporary right is saturated with fantasies of violence against perceived enemies.  (MSNBC)

 

Fascism is a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants. The fascists’ radical nationalist, participatory violent terror had by no means only destructive elements, but also helped to create order. The fascists believed that they could create life and order only by killing people or letting them die. The fascist obsession with feasibility and reorganization was not just potentially unlimited and anti-individualist, it also became radicalized in and through the violently charged events of the war of annihilation.

It ain’t about a justified “law and order,” for the American Republicans, if that was true, then the shouts about deconstructing the Justice Department, eliminating the FBI, calling JURY POOLS illegitimate, and verbally castrating the courts as a weaponization of the Left would never be heard. It is, as I believe about the idea of ESTABLISHING  a Christian Nationalistic form of Jihad, tribunal, one in which, “law and order,” is directed and maintained by a select few, orchestrated, by an even lesser select few, and eventually administered by a handful of people.

 

From Trump to De Satan, to the Red State Gerrymandered Legislatures, to handpicked Supreme Court Justices seemingly beholden to whichever President handpicked them, to the Evangelical Church Leaders picking and choosing which passages from their hand-picked Bibles to preach or ignore…FASCISM IS ALIVE AND WELL within the Politics of the Republican Party.

 

AND YET…AND YET, way too many Americans either choose to ignore this, or even more disgusting, seem to go along with this!
