Here's our only political question today:
Is you a Fascist, or is you ain't a Fascist?
The question was posed in 1943 by Louis Jordan about a lover. That question perfectly defines our issues today.
You can hear the song here
We don't have political parties anymore.
They are gone.
What we have is a Fascist movement and a counter Fascist movement.
T-rump's GOP is the Fascist party, complete with its very own Gestapo/ICE, concentration camps, and fear inducing rhetoric and actions. Its manifesto is the Project 2025 program
The Anti Fascist movement consists of every person who acts to protest and/or delay the Fascist agenda.
Unfortunately, neutrality is NOT an option in this fight: Those who remain silent enable the Fascist movement to proceed.
Choose now before choice is no longer possible.
UPDATE - FROM DAVID BROOKS NYT MAY 27, 2025
Yesterday, the neoconservative David Brooks wrote this in an OpEd in the NY Times,
"Trumpism… is primarily about the acquisition of power — power for its own sake. It is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice. …
What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power. …
I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now."
