😲 Rising FASCISM in America under MAGA rule!

 @fubah2

well stated   

In an effort to scrub national parks of “corrosive ideology,” the [racist Trump regime] has ordered the removal of information on slavery.
That includes “The Scourged Back,” a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back.

Trump's loyalist officials in the Pentagon charge ahead with press restrictions

‘designed to stifle a free press,’ media orgs say

The news we should be talking about is  Comey's use of the FBI, and it's hardcore elements which made a concerted effort to thwart Trump throughout.   Witness the hoax that was Russia Collusion early in his presidency in Trump 1.0,   and witnesses the concerted effort  by  Jack Smith and his cabal from preventing a trump 2.0.

But guess what, you can't fool all the people all the time... 

Lock up Jack Smith, James Clapper,  and James Comey,  and put 'em in prison for 30 years.

If we want to deter the Democrats from abusing the federal apparatus,  that should do the trick.  

“Limiting the media’s ability to report on
the U.S. military fails to honor the American
families who have entrusted their sons and
daughters to serve in it, or the taxpayers
responsible for giving the department hundreds
of billions of dollars a year,”
the Pentagon Press Association said i
n its first detailed statement on the matter.

@Rush51  " baseless witch hunt against Comey"

Legal experts say that Comey is highly unlikely to be convicted.  Durham who investigated Russia probe was unable to find evidence of false statements by Comey.  Assigned prosecutor Halligan is an insurance lawyer with no experience in criminal cases.  Normally, justice department does not like to lose cases in court.  But under Trump administration, law enforcement is weaponized to punish political enemies despite insufficient evidence.

@thirdperson

 He lied to Congress.  

Trust me.  He and his minions will pay a price for politicizing the FBI ,  and making a concerted effort to get Trump out of office.  

completely baseless   

its all maga political theatre

Der Führer of the MAGA Reich calls for jailing of Illinois leaders

WASHINGTON (AP) — [the CONVICTED FELON] on Wednesday said the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor, both Democrats, "should be jailed!" 

Mayor Johnson of Chicago, in a post on X, said, “This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. I’m not going anywhere.”

Gov. Pritzker, also on X, said” I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, when asked what crimes the president believed Pritzker and Johnson had committed, failed to identify any

“doing the Lord’s work”

MAGA Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents [the trump GESTAPO!] are “doing the Lord’s work” amid widespread scrutiny over the agency’s aggressive [fascist] policies under the second Trump regime.

New poll from the Public Religion Research Institute gave people two options:

1/  Trump is a “potentially dangerous dictator
        whose power should be limited before he destroys democracy!” 

2/  Trump is a “strong leader who should be given
        the power he needs to restore America’s greatness.” 

Asked in April, this survey showed:
       52%  "dangerous dictator..."
        44%   "strong leader..."

       a -8 pt margin!  

  But same poll asked again just recently:
      56%  "dangerous dictator..."
        41%   "strong leader..."

now a -15 pt margin! 

@fubah2  "ICE doing the lord's work"

Politicians have used religious beliefs to justify anti-immigration policies.  But religious beliefs should not be enshrined in laws because it can be manipulated to harm people.  In project 2025, Christian nationalism frames immigration as a existential threat to nation.  Nationalists attack the rights of immigrants and minorities.  Unlike Catholic Christianity which recognizes and respects people rights.

How is this thread not boxed?

Facism = MAGA????????????????????????   

Not being an azz here, just asking. I just do not believe MAGA members are fascists. Just conservative and want a BETTER life for their families and country. Not stereotyping Maga, just in general what I see and read.

Judge extends block of National Guard deployment in Chicago as Der Führer of the MAGA Reich sets his sights on San Francisco

there is a fascist in the video above 

in all honesty , for the most part we have seen old people on the streets "protesting" , bussed in from nursing homes 

next to the usual suspects of Antifa , the radical Democratic Party's street army 

A voter is a voter ! During elections there is no difference if you are being elected by old people or the youth - and really your “side” should stop saying “Antifa” - I know it is the clue card you have been given by Trump - but it is so fucking cringe - when you clearly don’t know what it means or how it works!! - It is like a boomer explaining how “them internet” and SoMe channels work to their grandchildren ! - so cringe I can barely stretch my toes out again - when you guys use it like that

You even contradict yourself because you use words you don’t know what means - first you say Biden is a facist - then you say the Democratic voters a antifa, “anti-facist” - how would that work ? *cluecard* It doesn’t work - they can’t be both !! 

If anything you probably should even be sad it was old people showing up ! The political party in Denmark facing old people (DF) receives 100 times more votes than the youth facing (NA) - most young people in the rest of the world (at least) - care more to drink and fuck whatever female give them attention on voting day - old people have experienced shit in their life and prioritize voting to insure they don’t face it on their home soil 

@Calde13  "fascism in the US"

US allies worry that US is a failing democracy sliding into autocracy.  Trump administration shows all the classic characteristics of fascism.  This is disturbing because the best countries to live in are democratic.  In authoritarian countries, people must serve government instead of government serving people.  Fascism is on the far right of political spectrum but Trump falsely accuses democrats as being fascists.  Europeans see current democrats as central right and republicans on far right.  In war on truth, Trump misleadingly demonizes antifa as fascist and terrorist organization.  Actually, antifa is a mostly peaceful ideology with no leader.  However for decades, far right extremists have been responsible for vast majority of domestic terrorism.

Agree  It also comes across a bit rich that someone that couldn't even get people to show up for his military parade birthday (even after paying attendees) - now talks down about a 7 million+ protest - for them being old - like for real? Are you even serious at that point? Because that sounds like loser talk to me  

Try make a mobilization yourself and then you can speak :) Like what the hell - it is like getting "How to throw a party advice" from the loser in class that had none attend his birthday
