The last public execution in the US, was in the 1930’s. Now, that the Trump Reich is in power, and filled with a bunch of Fascists, who love to prey on fear and loathing, including a gaggle of men who base their masculinity and the size of their penis on death and destruction, Hegseth and Trump want to demonstrate just how macho they feel and provide Americans with an epic sized firing squad.
The There are a few reasons for this, at least as I see it. Trump and Hegseth think that being a big burly man means initiating mayhem. This plan works when you have the minions in MAGA who also understand just how inadequate they are and by using a scapegoat to promote your own superiority you become the boss. Also, the many American Christian Nationalists in MAGA think that violence against others makes them more a favorite of their Jesus.
Also, be it Hitler or Stalin or Xi and Jung-Un, for Trump and his band of Fascists know that intimidation of the deemed enemy best serves the interests of creating and maintaining an efficient AUTHORITARIAN Regime!
Sadly, I also believe, that this public execution is also a doing whistle from the Trump Fascists to hopefully bring back the MAGA voters who have turned sour on Trump. His cultists love to witness Trump and Republicans hurt others, and by broadcasting a firing squad those MAGA will be lulled back into the voting booth.
If the Republicans keep their majority in Congress in November, get ready for more and more and more public executions, and say goodbye to morals, values, law and order!
