Rise of Fascism in the United States [SPLIT]

Well... the National Park Service's Stonewall website has literally erased "trans" from the site.

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)

Before the 1960s, almost everything about living authentically as a lesbian, a bisexual person or a gay man was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

The gays have a reservation on the pink triangle. Will the transpeople get a pink-blue striped triangle or a pink-blue star if they are Jewish?

Basically it is both...permission for his brownshirt militias to decide that whatever they don't like they can destroy in the name of 'Saving their Country' and he is also establishing the pretext for him about to do something very, very, bad.

Let's say for instance his regime and jack booted thugs starting torturing and killing immigrants in dark sites?

Who is actually going to stop them?

The SC has told him that whatever he does as President is above the law. And he is extending that to mean anyone working under him in the Executive branch.

I am very concerned at this point, authoritarianism is everywhere now. The Rule of Law is almost gone. We all know where this can lead.

A representative from New York has proposed making President Trump's Birthday and Flag Day a federal holiday. It sounds exactly like the Roman Senate bestowing the title of Augustus.

If the Congress passes this, every patriot should respond on the day with acts of protest, disruption, and consequence, every year, until it is repealed:

This act literally would be the trigger for civil war. There would be nothing left to expect from Congress. Anarchy should be given sway.

I am very concerned at this point, authoritarianism is everywhere now. The Rule of Law is almost gone. We all know where this can lead.

And long is it overdue if Congress has rotted away to this degree. They have jealously protected simple minority when both parties have been in control, causing the very problem we have, and avoiding cooperation and broader representation.

The Republicans couldn't do this if the Democrats had not done the same things when in power, in Congress.

Let is burn down if they will not pass just laws, not check the executive branch, not fix the real problems. Let is all go to war and let the nation learn again the value of virtue. Presently, selfishness rules and we are not one nation any longer, nor have been for over two decades.

Some fantasists dream of a democratic awakening and restoration of an inclusive republic.

We all know from history that where the law ends, tyranny begins and that a minority of the population will rule the majority, employing fear and violence.

And when the US goes to war, it won't be between states or Americans.

It will be externalized to give Americans common cause against a made up enemy and to guarantee the rule of tyrants under war measures decrees.

So we saw this past week that TrumpCo. and his owner Musk are trying to export and promote fascism in Europe under the guise of bullying western democracies and swinging their dicks.

It was a betrayal. Naked. Ugly. Loud.

Are you all out of denial now, ready to acknowledge and accept the fact that we are at the beginning of a Fascist Apocalypse that has real potential to make Nazi Germany look like a pleasant, afternoon garden party?

Welcome to the Fourth Reich. It's here NOW.

So for everyone hoping the judiciary still serves as the guardrails...get ready for an endless stream of this bullshit from TrumpCo. as they try to impeach any judge that stands in the way of his plans to gut the Federal government.

QED.

Honestly, most American are saying, "whodafuck?". These are back-benchers trying to get their names on the radar of Dear Leader. They're following the Matt Gaetz, MTG and Anna Paulina Luna-tic path, hoping to fundraise off getting their name in the news.

It's no different that Rep Al Green [D-TX} filing impeachment articles on Trump. Performance politics.

It's on us for electing (and re-electing) these people to Congress.

 

[rareboy]

So this is a diagram of the past few weeks.

 

[rareboy]

Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday declaring that only the president or the Attorney General can speak for “what the law is.”

So that pretty much tells us that the regime is now going to just ignore court orders.

Or in other words, the death of the judicial branch.

Obviously it will go right to court and be struck down...but out there is the case being built to put in front of the Roberts' court that he will be able to do this.

Ah, yes... they love "free speech" as long as it's speech they like.

Barron Trump comments spark resignation of NYU Republican president

A senior New York University Republican described Barron as "sort of like an oddity on campus."

www.newsweek.com

The New York University (NYU) chapter president of the College Republicans of America (CRA) has resigned after describing President Donald Trump's son Barron, a student at the university, as "sort of like an oddity on campus" in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Kaya Walker resigned on Sunday and this was announced by the CRA in an X post on Monday, which described her comments as "inappropriate."...

Referring to the Vanity Fair story, parts of which were repeated by The Independent, the CRA said: "We have been made aware of a statement by the NYU chapter President that does not align with the values and principles upheld by our organization.

So... Trump quotes Napoleon "He who saves his country does not violate any law."

Then he posts "Long Live the King" effectively declaring himself Emperor....just like Napoleon.

Trump is utterly insane.

 

[rareboy]

Just a reminder.

Offered without comment, but please take the time to watch this 10 minute clip of Pritzker's State of the State speech:

Pretty much nails it.

What comes next America?

"This Day in History...February 20, 1939: Americans hold a Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden

Or, as Trump supporters now put it, "Look, it's Grandma and Grandpa at the family's first MAGA rally!""

Chris Kluwe is one of my sports heroes from the days when he was so outspoken in defense of equal marriage that he pretty much sacrificed his football career over it.

It both thrilled me and saddened me that he is still speaking out loudly against injustice and hate.

It shows it was never about him 'virtue signaling'. He has remained a committed anti-fascist ally to the lgbtq community all these years on when he really has no need to do it.
