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.
