  9. BTW that post about #MAGA #GOP staying in power for another 30 years is bullshit:

    the first elected #AmericanFascist government were Bush and Reagan in 1980.

    THAT WAS USA’s FIRST FASCIST COUP

    what Trump represents is an all out war from people who know they cannot continue manufacturing votes because the vast majority of new voters are LATINO, ASIAN, BLACK, NATIVE AMERICAN YOUTH (yes, in that proportional order).

    THE FASCISTOCRACY IS DYING

    this is their civil war. act accordingly.

  14. A Leader…initiates #politics by choosing an #enemy. As the #Nazi legal thinker Carl Schmitt maintained, the choice is arbitrary. It has little or no basis in #reality. It takes its force from the decisive will of the Leader. People who watched #Trump’s TV ads…had not been harmed by a #transgender person, or by an #immigrant, or by a #woman of #color. The magic lies in the daring it takes to declare a weaker group to be part of an overwhelming #conspiracy.

  19. That requires presence, which #Trump has always had. His #charisma need not resonate w/you: probably, #Hitler’s & #Mussolini’s would not have reached you, either. But it is nevertheless a talent. To be a #fascist & to call someone else a fascist requires a cunning that is natural to Trump. And in that naming of the #enemy, absurd as it is, we see the second major element of #fascism.

  24. A #liberal has to tell a hundred stories, or a thousand. A #communist has one story, which might not turn out to be true. A #fascist just has to be a #storyteller. Because words do not attach to meanings, the stories don’t need to be consistent. They don’t need to accord w/external #reality. A fascist storyteller just has to find a pulse & hold it. This can proceed through rehearsal, as w/ #Hitler, or by way of trial & error, as w/ #Trump.

  29. That’s quite a #fascist achievement. Faced w/complexity of #history, #liberals struggle w/the overwhelming volume of questions to be asked, answers to be offered. Like communism, fascism is an answer to all questions, but a different kind of answer. #Communism assures us that we can, thanks to science, find an underlying direction in all events, toward a better future. This is (/was) seductive. #Fascism reduces the imbroglio of sensation to what the Leader says.

  34. #Putin & #Trump are both, in fact, #fascists. And their use of the word, though meant to confuse, reminds us of one of fascism’s essential characteristics. A fascist is unconcerned w/the connection between #words & #meanings. He does not serve the #language; the language serves him. When a fascist calls a liberal a “fascist,” the term begins to work in a different way, as the servant of a particular person, rather than as a bearer of meaning.

  39. When the Soviets called their enemies “#fascists,” they turned the word into a meaningless insult. Putinist #Russia has preserved the habit: a “fascist” is anyone who opposes the wishes of a Russian #dictator. So Ukrainians defending their country from Russian invaders are “fascists.” This is a trick that #Trump has copied. He, like Vladimir #Putin, refers to his enemies as “fascists,” w/no #ideological significance at all. It is simply a term of opprobrium.
