Fascism in America?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

I’m sure many of you doubt my claim that fascists are gaining control of our nation. You are very mistaken. Fact: the leader of the Republican Party is the leader of the fascist movement in America. The man who will be the next Speaker of the House, Steve Scalise, is a devout member of the fascist group calling themselves “the Freedom Caucus.” History is repeating itself. What happened in the United States in 1939 is happening today in 2023. Consider the situation our government is in today, read the definition, and prove me wrong.

Fascism: “Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.”

Now, add to this the fact that capitalism has escalated into a plutocracy, and a plutocracy cannot exist without a government which is autocratic, more specifically a fascist regime. The evidence is irrefutable.

In my youth, as an original baby boomer, I never would have dreamed that this situation could become a reality. I grew up learning about the reality of Hitler’s terrorist and inhuman actions, and the evils of racism and bigotry. Today, millions of Americans are once again celebrating evils which have prevented our country from becoming the greatest nation in the world. We can do better. If we vote intelligently, our government can become functional again. If not, we are rapidly moving down a path which leads to a fascist dictatorship.

It appears that one of the creators of the fascist wing of the Republican controlled House of Representatives, Jim Jordan, will be the next Speaker. This will guarantee the continuation of a dysfunctional government until Democrats regain control in 2024. However, this loud-mouthed incompetent and criminal at large will attempt to damage our nation further over the next 14+ months.

He will be in constant contact with Trump who will issue his demands with the intent of ending democracy in America.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
