It is official: The Republican Party has been transformed into the Neo-fascist Party of America.

[olegramps]

43 Republican senators voted to fully exonerate and thereby endorse the legality of an insurrection led by a man who would establish himself as an absolute dictator who is solely answerable to himself. The Republican Party's determination to totally transform the presidency into dictatorship is an accomplishment that has been the goal and dream of the American plutocrats who have pursued and financed this campaign for over fifty years.

How was it done? It was accomplished by their gaining dominance of the broadcast stations throughout the nation following the Reagan's revocation of the Fairness Doctrine and most importantly the restriction of station ownership. The wealthy plutocrats quickly bought up hundreds of stations and began the most intensive propaganda campaign the rivaled the most vicious dictatorships. What was their message that the delivered 24/7? It was that anyone who pursued progressive legislation that hamper free reign to bilk the public was unpatriotic and immoral. They preyed on the fears and prejudice of the gullible and convinced them that they were their sole hope for a better life. This was intensified by their call that it was their patriotic duty to save America from the vile liberals. To this has been furthered intensified by the most bizarre and ridiculous rumors that defy a shred of credibility.

Oh, yes we were warned by a chorus of highly qualified and respected citizens whose message was drowned out and ignored by the majority of the impending threat of the fascists. Well, their mission has been immeasurably enhanced and now we can only wait for when they succeed in installing another totally corrupt and unprincipled demagogue to the presidency. They were within a fraction of accomplishing in the last election and will surely be embolden by their support by the latest capitulation in which they refused to support the Constitution.

1. They trained 40% of the country to vote against their own best interests.

Propaganda works!

The modern right-wing press brought forth a new age where hate is celebrated and truth is crushed by a mountain of lies. It was a patient, long-term campaign that paid off handsomely. Their followers can not be deprogramed, our only hope is to halt the process before 40% becomes 51%; our survival as a Representative Democracy depends on it. If the Fascist ever gain total power over the government it will never be surrendered. We are balanced on a razor edge of survival of our Representative Democracy.

We start by purging extremists from every public office, police and military, and crushing illegal armed "militias." If the right wing terrorists only respect force, then it is force we must give them. If we let their numbers continue to grow, we will reach a point where we are no longer able to restrain their will. Many of them think that they are there already. It happened in Germany and we are not so special as to be immune. We are repeating history. The American Reichstag fire failed, but it was only the first attempt. Their Fuhrer was released from his "Landsberg" by the Senate yesterday and that will be a recruitment, and rallying call. The right will see Trump and Trumpism as untouchable.

We can start by insisting that the terrorist that invaded our Capitol are treated as terrorists. No mercy. Strip them of their ability to ever infect others with their disrespect of law and order.

We are minutes away from our internal doomsday clock striking midnight. We are in the calm before the storm, it is time to prepare, and we better recognize it, or we will be swept away by the black tide of Fascism.

5. It's not 40% it's about 25 - 30%

Those are the numbers from polls who said they strongly approved of president Dumbf.

6. We're not powerless here.

We outnumber the fascists greatly. It’s up to us and the rest of the majority to stay engaged and fight the Republican Party. It can be done, they’re not all powerful.

[Chainfire]

9. Power is worthless unless exercised.

Armed minorities have a long history of overpowering legitimate governments. Pay attention to the lessons of history.

In 1934 in Germany there were about 6,000,000 unemployed Germans, about 2.5 million men joined the SA. We could be one more economic disaster from a great recruiting event for the militia groups that are already semi-organized. The various White Nationalists groups in our country could easily unite around one charismatic figure, just as the Germans did.

It is time to show these terrorist that we will not stand by why they continue to sow the seeds of destruction of our country. For heaven's sake man, these people want a bloody civil war! They are planning, training and preparing, every day, for a war, a violent takeover of the government. . They want to purge YOU! They went to the Capitol without guns. What happens when they go armed with assault weapons? We better wake up and deal with the problem.

These are your neighbors:

7. First America

Then the World.

From one of the wise writers in 2016:

In 2016, I identified four future developments that would justify the Trump-Hitler comparison. Here are the results.

Posted February 12, 2021 by Sebastian Schutte

Excerpt...

Nazi policies concentrated on building a cohesive national majority, to unite ‘ethnic’ Germans against Jews, foreigners, homosexuals, political critics and other minority groups. The contemporary analogy would be Trump actively pitting white Christian America against minorities in the years ahead.

Snip...

The first step is scapegoating

Snip...

A second component of the Nazi power consolidation was media co-optation.

Snip...

A third component of the Nazi reign was paramilitary organizations.

Snip...

Finally, I identified emergency laws as a cornerstone of Nazi rule:
