Donald Trump and the rise of fascism in America.

All these people are worried about about socialism. "Obama is a socialist, Bernie Sanders is a socialist." 

Most people have no idea what socialism even means, they have visions of hammers and sickles and cold war propaganda. While worrying and railing about socialism and and bashing Obama (who has been cleaning up the Republicans mess for the last 8 years, despite their continued obstruction) nationalism and fascism has creeped in.

"It can't happen here."

The fact that Donald Trump is even being considered the office of the presidency let alone the front runner shows that America has become a fascist country, specifically a fascist oligarchy.

Salon and The Week have already published articles asking the question is Donald Trump leading a proto-fascist movement?
I say no he's leading an actual fascist movement. All you have to do is switch out the word Jews for illegal immigrants.

Benito Mussolini once said that fascism could be better described as corporatism.


Thanks to Citizens United and the massive amount of corporate money controlling our elections, billionaires like the Koch brothers make our policies and laws for us. The little guys vote means nothing when the rich can dump millions and millions of dollars into supporting a candidate, when lobbying which should be called bribery is legal, when our country spends 54% of its discretionary spending on the military, solves no problems but creates giant profits for the oil industry and the military industrial complex, when people rally to continue to fly the Confederate flag, when xenophobic nationalists rise to power, when Wall Street profits are prioritized over the life of our only planet:


We're no longer living in a republic or a democracy. We are living in a fascist oligarchy.

It can't happen here?
It's already happened.


Why the fuck anybody would trust a fascist billionaire to be the leader of the free world? Fear.

So you ask me why I'm voting for a socialist in the next election?
Quite simply it's to combat fascism.

Getting your covid-19 vaccine in Florida

Dear Sirs, You are so completely disorganized, and have completely mismanaged distribution of the covid-19 vaccine. I should expected nothing less from the Trump wannabe loser Ron DeSantis. I requested text via your website for communication. Instead you telephoned me and emailed me. I repeatedly reached out to you and requested you contact me and heard absolutely nothing from you.  When somebody called me it was from an unidentified phone number so I missed it and it had to go to voicemail. You are the State of Florida and you do not have telephone identification? You handled this piss poorly, you dropped the ball, in other words you suck. You took forever to get back to me, and the girl who finally  contacted me, was completely incompetent as a call center person. She took forever to ask me a few simple questions and was such a poor listener that she made me repeat myself several times. You told me the only place that I could get the vaccination was far from my home at the Southwest

Eat the rich!

or Conservative: It's what's for dinner. You may have heard statements like this posts title from crazy lefties like myself. It's just a metaphor right? Remember "Soylent green is people"?   I think cannibalism gets a bad rap, and hollywood is to blame. Human flesh is high in protein and has less hormones in it that your standard roast beef sandwich. Our aversion and disgust with the idea of eating Raoul is a purely mental hangup. It's just good nutrition, and delicious too!   If the powers that be insist on crushing the economy AND destroying our social safety net, eating the the rich may be our only alternative to starvation. (Vegans don't start with me, you're just corn fed beef and quite tasty) As absurd as this post is, keep this in mind: One fat fuck conservative like say...Chris Christie or Rush Limbaugh, can feed a family of 4 for a year.* Take note conservatives: Americans ARE starving and running out of options. Now if you wil

You don't mess with your cleaning lady.

Image
Imagine you are a house cleaner. You show up whenever and you start doing the house. While you are cleaning the bathroom scrubbing some s*** or piss, the owner starts moving your stuff around making it more difficult for you to do the job. He also insults you, tells lies about you, takes credit for work that you did. The minute you leave he pisses all over the floor. This is how Democrats must feel. Republicans lie about us cheat us, when we are the ones that are continually cleaning up their mess. Every single time Republicans are in charge they rack up the national debt, they crash the economy, cause massive loss of jobs. When the Democrats are in charge, we have continual job growth, a strong economy, and we pay down the national debt. Yes we had to raise taxes because the idiots ran up the national debt, usually with a stupid tax cut, or a war or a wall or some other stupid waste of money. (The F-35 comes to mind). The least they could do
