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!!
Send this to anyone you choose!!


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!
