Fascists in Our Midst
In their ideal America, our “secular humanist” society based on science and reason will be destroyed. The Ten Commandments will form the basis of the legal system. {With twisted meanings to conform to their ideology.}
Fascists achieve power by creating parallel institutions — schools, universities, media platforms and paramilitary forces — and seizing the organs of internal security and the judiciary. They deform the law, including electoral law, to serve their ends. They are rarely in the majority. The Nazis never polled above 37 percent in free elections in Germany. Christian fascists constitute less than a third of the U.S. electorate, about the same percentage of those who consider abortion to be murder.
This flagrant manipulation of law was displayed in two of the most recent Supreme Court decisions, where those who support this ideology have a 5-to-3 majority, with the less extremist Chief Justice John Roberts often adding a sixth vote. In overturning Roe v. Wade, the court, in a five to four decision, argued that states have the power to decide whether abortion is legal. The same court conversely came down against “states’ rights,” in striking down strict restrictions on carrying concealed firearms.
What the ideology demands is law. What the ideology opposes is a crime. Once a legal system is subservient to dogma an open society is impossible.
Blow-by-blow autocratic power is being solidified by this monstrous Christian fascism which is bankrolled by the most retrograde forces of corporate capitalism. It looks set to take control of the U.S. Congress in the midterm elections. If former President Donald Trump, or a Trump-like clone, is elected in 2024, what is left of our democracy will likely be extinguished.
{“The role of the federal government will be reduced to protecting property rights, ‘homeland’ security and waging war.”}
Which would take us back to the very beginning. In order for the wealthy to maintain possession of their property senators were placed by state representatives. Citizens didn't begin voting for their senators until 1913. I have suggested that by then they had managed to secure the means to insure their positions in a vast degree.
{“Most of those tasked with reporting on and interpreting history, social movements and religious beliefs have failed us.”}
Most importantly, today, they have managed to con a large portion of the US citizenship into the acceptance of funding and supporting a fascist country to use against a manufactured enemy for geopolitical agendas. Knowingly funding and supporting the fascist ideology within the country to overthrow its democratically elected government in 2014. Protest in the US for decades have virtually been managed into micro color revolutions to diminish any further expansion of rights with the help of our medias and wealthy supporters, NGOs, think tanks, and intelligence that we have seen take place worldwide. If you genuinely know how the Maidan revolution took to a violent form you should see the resemblance within our own protest. The groups that end up turning these protest into violent scenes is not a coincidence. Their followers are manipulated towards the outcomes the very same way as those at Maidan.
