Let’s Start Using The “F” Word: Fascism

David Frum, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, said in an article in The Atlantic:

“Those who uphold the American constitutional order need to understand what they are facing. Trump incited his followers to try to thwart an election result, and to kill or threaten Trump’s own vice president if he would not or could not deliver on Trump’s crazy scheme to keep power.”

Since the insurrection Trump supporters and most of the GOP, have embraced the idea that the people who hold office under our government are illegitimate and that, therefore, overturning the election is a patriotic duty.

“It’s time to start using the F-word.”

The word he meant is “fascism.”

Meanwhile, President Biden said today: “We are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. I’m not saying this to alarm you; I’m saying this because you should be alarmed.” We must have the will to save and strengthen our democracy.”

Meanwhile, Republicans in 17 states are working hard to suppress voting rights, in other words RIG the vote, cheat so they can win.

Texas in particular, where Governor Gregg Abbott presides, has a good chance of flipping to Blue. With the February and June electrical grid failures (and 200 deaths) along with slimy Senator Ted Cruz getting caught trying to escape to Cancun during the blackout in February, Republicans are consistently turning to fascist tactics to keep their hold.

Donald Trump sounds like a broken record and his dimwit supporters are eating it up. The GOP, for the most part, is doing their damnedest to help his cause.
