Ever Vigilent

The emergence, menace and violent danger of Trump and his minions is known throughout the world. The title of Mary Trump's book "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" says it all.  I urge you to get this book, read it and know where the psychology of Trump's essence lies.

Trump has carried the water for rightwing irrational nationalist extremism coupled with a side car of antiSemitism and other hate which is showing its ugly face even in Germany where it is illegal to deny the Holocaust.  More than Germany, other nation states in Western Europe show a resurgence of Fascism such as in Italy, France, the United Kingdom as well as in Denmark, Greece, and Spain.  Fascist groups are found in Eastern Europe in Bulgaria, Armenia, the Ukraine, Poland and in South America in Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil too.

Professor Cynthia Miller-Idriss studies extremism and says "this violent fringe exists everywhere and no country is immune to it, especially now that radicalization can happen in large part on-line." I post her article below.

This should give one pause for thought and remind one to remain "ever vigilant" while never letting Trump anywhere near the oval office again.  This is life-saving advice as Trump and his Republican lackeys are trying to, in Vesuvian form, blow up our democracy by suppressing the Democratic vote and installing in perpetuity the one Trump loves the most -- himself.

URGE YOUR CONGRESSPERSONS TO SUPPORT THE "FOR THE PEOPLE ACT" AND THE "JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ACT" TO FEDERALLY ENSURE OUR DEMOCRACY IS SAFE!!

True Words

 

Larry O'Donnell showed the  2019 speech of Sasha Baron Cohen's wonderful critique of Facebook, then a forum for the dissemination of misinformation and lies. Quoting Cohen when he talks about those who deny the Holocaust and its allowance on Facebook:

"THOSE WHO DENY THE HOLOCAUST MEAN TO START ANOTHER."

Never truer words spoken!

Donald Trump Reportedly Praised Hitler During a Trip Honoring U.S. Troops, claiming Hitler “did a lot of good things,” Trump told then-White House chief of staff John Kelly, per Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.

 

Why do I believe every word of this byline? Trump is the man who, it is said, had a copy of Hitler's speeches and/or Mein Kampf on his night table!

Trump is a rightwing extremist by his own admission a "nationalist."  What is there about the rightwing extremist nationalism that most of us who hold humanitarian left of center viewpoints abhor? As Justice Poter Stewart said of hard core pornography "I know it when I see it."  So I say the same of the right wing nationalism and extremist white supremacist political opinion.  I know its poison when I see and hear it. 

Examining the nature of the signs that the pro Trump attackers of the Capitol carried, the militaristic and other dress of many of those who were so violent on January 6, 2021, the tenor of the population of that seditious mob clearly placed them as white supremacist nationalists excluding many they deem as "the other." At the behest of Trump they attacked the pinnacle  of democracy, the  Capitol to prevent the presidential election from being certified.   Amid the plethora of Trump flags his supporters donned t-shirts that said "Camp Auschwitz" referring to one of the Nazis most horrific death camps.  Another shirt sported the logo 6MWE or six million wasn't enough referring to the estimates of Jews murdered in Hitler's Holocaust.  The man Trump thinks did "a lot of good things" was responsible for the deaths of 6 million innocents and 50,000,000 others in the theater of WWII perpetrated by the man Trump admires who claimed his German Reich would last a thousand years but really lasted 12.

The right wing extremists of this nation are gun loving, often violent males who think nothing of injuring, hurting or even killing those who would oppose them.  In addition, they are authoritarian in nature and they are wedded to the authoritarian nature of Trump whom they see as strong. The narcissist Trump, however, I submit, does not see himself as strong but knows in the darkest corner of his mind he is, in truth, weak and inferior to most of his peers as evidenced by the losses Trump experiences in most everything he touches.  He tries to cover up his many failings with lies about himself and his gullible followers succumb unquestioning to his mesmerizing appeal caring nothing for the truth. 

The Nazi Goebels said " “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."  The big lie in our time has been repeated again and again by Republicans that the 2020 election was permeated by fraud.  We know by the judgement of experts and courts over and over again it was one of the cleanest elections in US history and Biden not Trump is the rightful president of the United States.   

So what now is at stake -- only the demise of the world's primary historical example of democracy and civil libertarian self government.  If the Trumpians someday prevail we will know what it means to live in an authoritarian state leaving us open to the overreach of a tyrannical government unfree to question any policy of it in perpetuity.  We will know that Trumpian Republicans, the only face of the new dastardly Republican Party, has diabolically in "14 GOP controlled states passed laws to impede free elections.  24 new laws will "politicize, criminalize and interfere in election administration" and the right wing political tilt of the Supreme Court in a recent 6/3 decision has sanctioned all of it.

A blogger stated: "Trump: traitor (attempted coup), horrific grifter, violated campaign finance laws, obstructed justice, abused power, engaged in witness tampering, attempted extortion (Ukrainian president), responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people (the lying and vilification of a virus), threatened healthcare professionals, caged and killed human beings (including children), and tried to strong arm election officials. Partial list. Where is Trump? Grifting off the dupes whom he despises. One standard of justice? Will he be convicted?"

I aver Trump is the slimiest, most corrupt slug that ever polluted our oval office with his presence and that ever occupied the seat of the highest most celebrated office in the land. May he never see that oval office again.  Only you can ensure he does not!!  SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE AND URGE YOUR SENATOR TO SUPPORT HR1 -- For the People Act.

"Rising European anti-Semitism blamed on lockdowns"

 

 

How is this possible? After the 6,000,000+ dead of the Holocaust I never thought I would live to see this happening again! "Hateful attacks on Jews have been increasing in Europe for years, but   pandemic restrictions have led to an upsurge." 

Mankind seems to never learn but if they do not learn we must teach them history's truth.

Never Again must mean never again!   Fight AntiSemitism, Fascism and hate no matter the group to whom hate is directed and remain

ever vigilant always.
