Pounding Earworms, Part 1 [FASCISM]


NOTE:  Again this blog post is NOT for those supporting President Trump! Don’t read it. You won’t like it. It isn’t going to change your mind about anything. You’ll just use the opportunity to say something insulting. This is for those that don’t know what to do in the upcoming election and worry about the rise of fascism in America; that a coup is taking place.
 
        Just as he did during the election, the President of these United States spews out lies and hate on a daily and at times hourly basis. As President his message continues to resonate with white nationalists, racists, Nazis, Confederate sympathizers, the Alt Right and White Supremacists. He is their leader. His words are gasoline on the fire of white nationalism and racism! He promotes rage. He acknowledged that in a 2016 Interview<2016 interview="">. During the interview he said that he didn’t know whether it was an asset or liability. Since he got elected doing it he evidently considers it to be an asset now as he continues doing it. 

Even though the publicity was almost entirely negative, there was a great deal of it, and that drew a tremendous amount of attention to Trump Tower. Almost immediately we saw an upsurge in the sales of apartments. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, and in truth it probably says something perverse about the culture we live in. But I’m a businessman, and I learned a lesson from that experience:  good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells. Trump: The Art of the Deal, pages 175-176

        Now all this doesn’t meant that if someone is a supporter of President Trump that they automatically qualify as being one of the aforementioned hate groups. It does mean that these people are drawn to the message that he keeps delivering over and over. It’s why White Nationalists, et al keep showing up in his regime and in the Republican Party. Now this is where alternate universe people like to pop off with saying the KKK started in the Democratic Party or any other of a number of deflective comments. (BTW the Democrats didn’t.) This is about where we are today and how we got here.
        Donald Trump has never stopped running for President. (He filed to run for President in 2020 on inauguration day.) He has never let up. So, he has continued doing what he does best since it got him elected—being vulgar, playing the billionaire victim being treated unfairly, peddling conspiracy theories, making fun of people, talking about how great he is, insulting, blaming others and lying. It’s his nature.
        President Donald Trump is ‘The Great White Hope’ come to make white America first again. (Lindberg used ‘America first’ when he was a friend of the Nazis and was not wanting inferior blood to corrupt America. He didn’t like Jews either. This isn’t new information.) His ‘groupies’ eat this stuff up. In this instance groupies are the ones that go to his rallies time and time again. Groupies like the White Nationalists, et al of Charlottesville, pipe bomb mailer and synagogue killer. They are True Believers of all things Trump.
        Since Trump has become President all of the aforementioned hate groups are ascendant. Hate crimes are dramatically on the rise. The White Nationalist, et al groups and shills like Limbaugh, Hannity, Evangelicals, Fox News etc. promote that America is under attack: The brown hordes are coming for white people! They are rapists! They are gang members! They are murderers! Their children have diseases! They are voting in our elections! They are B. R. O. W. N! The press is the true enemy of the people. The press covers for the brown people. And his True Believers take this this to heart. Everyone except for the True Believers is after them! The press is after them!
        The Leader President Trump is the victim! The Republican Party is the victim! White people are being victimized! Nothing bad is on them!
        The people that died in the synagogues brought it on themselves! The Jews should have had armed guards. The children dying in schools should have had guns protecting them. We need to fortress America. We need to harden schools! We need to harden churches! We need to harden movie theaters! We need to harden fast food places! They’re coming for our guns! We need to harden everyone with guns! We need the Armed Forces on the streets! The brown people are coming and we aren’t real trusting of the ones that are already here. Call the police on black people! They’re up to something! The Leader says that we’re being invaded! The Leader says they’re here! 
        President Trump doesn’t believe in the Constitution any more than the leadership of the Republican Party does. In their hands the Constitution is a weapon. Oh, they will dither in public about how horrible it all is when responding to the latest offensive action/s or comments of the President or his True Believers. Then they march in lockstep behind him. Their crocodile tears are just for the consumption of the hoi polloi.
         For going on 3 years now we have had a veritable nonstop onslaught of inflammatory speech coupled with outrageous conspiracy theories and false information pumped out 24/7. The Leader along with the leadership of the Republican Party has supported and marketed these conspiracy theories and the White Nationalist, et al agenda for at least a decade now. They continue to encourage, mimic and use these tactics in their own campaigns as well.
        What does President Trump do as The Leader of our entire nation? Where is The Leader taking us? At his rallies he batters away every day at the foundations of our Republic. He incites. The FBI is corrupt! The Press is the true enemy of the people! Lock her up! Science is bunk! Christianity is under attack! Evil pours through our southern border! The Dems did it! Soros the billionaire Jew is evil. Lock him up! (Trump and Republican leaders are still after him unabated.) Soros is one of those critics of Trump that received a pipe bomb along with other critics. The Jews should have had guns! Laugh when The Leader insults and makes fun of victims of sexual harassment, invalids, etc. The Leader’s rallies are a continuing wink and a nod to those mentally disturbed True Believing people like the pipe bomber and the synagogue shooter. Actions are condemned but the evil is still coming! They weren’t stopped! Do something! There’s an invasion of brown people on their way here RIGHT NOW! Do something! Your draft-avoiding leader has called out the Army of the Republic to do whatever is necessary to repel the invading men, women and thousands of armed to the teeth children! They must be stopped at any cost! Get the Warthogs ready for a strafing run! And the TRUE BELIEVERS eat it up. They feed on it in their waking moments. It’s happening! They can’t wait any longer!
        They’re going in!
