It’s crazy how, in just a couple of generations, all the lessons learned about the dangers of fascism in WWII are forgotten by the majority of people. You’d think wider access to education and information would mean these lessons would stick around a little longer, but here we are.
“The lessons of history teach us – if the lessons of history teach us anything – that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.”
— Robert A. Heinlein
With the rise of former United States President Donald Trump, freshly elected Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán you can see fascism and authoritarianism have gained in popularity. The Republican Party in the United States loves it so much that they had CPAC
“You f—ing generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?”
– Former US President Donald Trump
“Mussolini was a good politician, everything he did, he did for Italy. There have been no other politicians like him in the last 50 years”
– Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni
“I am in favor of torture, you know that, and the people are in vapor too. Through the vote, you will not change anything in this country.”
– President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro
And if you want to blame just Republicans for supporting fascism some Democrats seem to not see the issue here also like the 2nd half of the Clinton failure family Hillary!
If you wonder why this is happening it is because the boomer generation has been gaslit for several decades to believe immigrants are their enemy and that their way of life is no longer accepted by younger generations. Meanwhile, income inequality has gotten so bad that the younger generations simply can’t afford the boomer’s way of life and boomers don’t want to accept that voting for Republicans and deregulating everything is what has led to such severe income inequality.
Trump’s Fascism Playbook If He Gets Elected Again
Trump’s playbook if he gets elected again will mimick Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán
1. Enact executive order to allow him to fire civil servants at will. He was working on this during the end of his presidency.
2. Enacts pardons to those who are and we’re loyal to him and refuse pardons to those who turned against him.
3. Install his cronies. People like Guliani as Attorney General, Jim Jordan, and others as prominent. Make Mike Lindell the ambassador of pillows.
4. Put Loyalist Military officials in to enact his will (sending troops down to the border to round up refugees and migrant workers and expel them from the country.
5. Bring FBI, CIA, and other government enforcement to heel.
6. Defy the Supreme Courts’ judgments that tell him what he is doing is criminal.
7. End the two-term limit for a sitting president.
How do we know this? He said what he would do and even tried to do it already. This will be a slow move over 4 years. It will not look like outright fascism but it will move toward largely authoritarian rule.
Trump was pulling for Brazil to stick Bolsonaro in Brazil and hopefully this is a sign or more things to come…
