O damn, gemini post. :scroll:
Could you ever just not totally shitpost?
Consider these details you proper ignoramus and a putrid creature. This in terms of the enemy from within and its war against America, Democracy and anything else of a civilized nature on Earth:
One year later: The GOP is Still at War against Democracy. Needed: A New Center-right Party
In 2020, HBO telecast a series entitled “The Plot Against America,” based upon an alternative mythical history of the United States in the late 1930s and early 1940s, written by Phillip Roth. In the series, supporters of fascism, antisemitism, and Nazism combined to foment a movement that captured the Republican Party and propelled Charles Lindbergh to victory over FDR in the Presidential election of 1940.
As a historian, I knew that Roth’s alternative history was lacking severely in credibility. Lindbergh never attained anywhere near the popularity within the GOP necessary to capture the presidential nomination. The person who did win the 1940 GOP nomination, Wendell Willkie was one of my great heroes of American history.
Yet what terrified me was that the plot of that series has been playing out in real time in 21st century America under the fascist leadership of Donald Trump, a non-genocidal fascist, but a fascist all the same, a Mussolini, rather than a Hitler. If Donald Trump is elected president again in 2024, it may be the last free presidential election in the history of the United States of America.
Today is one year after the Insurrection in the nation’s capitol where we saw Trump and his fellow authoritarian lowlife thugs display their fascism at its ugliest: an attempt to prevent, by force and intimidation, the certification of the election of Joe Biden as president and Kamala Harris as vice president. America owes a great debt of gratitude to former Vice President Mike Pence, who in the face of a Trump-inspired violent mob threatening his life, courageously proceeded to certify the election.
In order to understand the fascism of Trump, it is first necessary to understand what fascism is. One can glean a thorough knowledge of the rudiments of fascism by reading the monumental work, How Fascism Works, by Yale professor Jason Stanley."
