"Vermont Conversation: Journalist Jeff Sharlet on American fascism and how a civil war is speeding up
Everything Trump has said he was going to do, he has attempted to do. It’s time to lay aside the ‘this is just negotiating tactics’. He’s going to negotiate us right down into full fascism.”

We now have a defining #image of the new #fascist regime. A picture made explicitly to convey #cruelty and glee.

Is #Trumpism a #political movement? Or is it more useful to think of it as a mystical offshoot of #American #Christianity?
#OpenDemocracy and #JeffSharlet (#author of The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War) discuss this. See links to podcast ⤵️https://open.spotify.com/episode/5udBkbPTGyMDXy4skZN5GF

How #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump Will attempt Mold #America “in the Image of a #Dictatorship”.
#Reproductiverights #crackdowns, #massdeportations, and a #fealty-based #federal #bureaucracy. The former president has disavowed #Project2025, but #VanityFair’s #MollyJongFast and #JeffSharlet say his #fingerprints are all over it.

Important info! See also #JeffSharlet whose in-depth investigative journalism has outed the Fascist 'Family' behind the Prayer Breakfast (if anyone were paying attention)

Here's a reverie: A Kamala Harris/Jeff Sharlet ticket would be not just a poetic answer to the Republican narrative of family, but an elegiac rebuke of it.

“Enemies of the People” - important piece from #JeffSharlet …
“I’m not going to spend much time on what NYT, WaPo, & cable news get wrong. That’s important work, but more pressing now than identifying the unwitting biases & banalities of news media that is mostly in rapid retrenchment, is boosting the work that’ll help us grasp this frightening moment—the better to stop #fascism & imagine democratic futures.”

"Trump Is the Nominee. #FascismIsOnTheBallot." Author #JeffSharlet on #NewHampshire & Beyond

A number of issues with this argument.
First of all, the "rule of law" is an ideal traditionally used as a cudgel aimed squarely at the dispossessed. Rule of law has been used as an effective tool to enforce an unjust status quo since forever.
Secondly the idea that the right will be inhibited from burning it all down in the face of liberal loyalty to institutional norms is painfully ludicrous.

I just finished the first essay in #JeffSharlet’s “#TheUndertow: scenes from a slow #civilWar. ” It’s a reflection on the ‘masks’ we wear (w/ #HarryBelafonte).
I know it’s not possible to know everything. But there’s so much that I didn’t know. Like this desegregated Revlon-sponsored, award-winning 1959 #TV special: https://youtu.be/L6oBqOR8kzo?feature=shared

@wdlindsy Reading Undertow:Scenes from a Slow Civil War, by Jeff Sharlet, and I have to say the cult virus infecting MAGA is run amuck and it’s hard to imagine them giving up their golden god for any reason. #UndertowScenesfromaSlowCivilWar

#JeffSharlet on another platform:
"If I ran NYT: all would-be political reporters would have to pass a broad essay exam defining a number of terms—fascism, communism, Marxism, democracy, feminism, racism, evangelicalism, “Christian,” to start—with ideological & historical depth. I would also require US political reporters to demonstrate historical knowledge of “conservatism” & “liberalism.” -

@WarnerCrocker I can’t wait to read it since I had a Twitter interaction with #jeffsharlet . I made what I thought was a witty & ironic comment about interviewing MAGA folk in diners never expecting he would see it and respond. Oops. I wasn’t criticizing him. Honest, Jeff, I was just joking. Peace ☮️

What pulls so many people like #AshliBabbitt from supporting Obama to supporting #fascism?
#JeffSharlet: Recognize that it’s not so much about any particular issue, but rather it is an aesthetic, as fascism is, but also a #theology. And that’s why I said the #prosperitygospel is — it comes from #evangelicals, from the idea that God wants you to be rich. #trump's golden plane is evidence of God’s intention.

Where #politics & #religion meet: #TheFamily thank #JeffSharlet for exposing this attempt at secrecy (bc they don’t want separation of church & state-they want a Christian right govt) members use the name of #Jesus to do what they want b/c “only god can judge you” They hide behind #nationalprayerbreakfast & tax exempt living arrangements #CStreet frat house for Jesusfreaks.
