Prevaricating, Once Again

THE GREAT PREVARICATOR, the loud mouthed loser, is back at it again, once again spewing verbal garbage, to the evident delight of his low integrity low life sycophantic loser listeners. the orange ogre's failed attempt to usurp American, democracy, to overthrow the government of the United States, to install himself as an unelected authoritarian ruler has only emboldened his fascist leaning followers. We can expect more mob violence shortly. Law enforcement and intelligence gathering agencies tell us that the right wing is up in arms, loaded for bear. Hitler had a career trajectory somewhat similar to Trump. He too failed in his first attempt at insurrection, in the famous Munich "Beer Hall Putsch" of 1920. For that he spent a meager nine months in jail, where he had time to ruminate and write his boringly long and cobweb of a book, "Mein Kampf". Trump may too end up in lock up, he certainly should, but probably lacks the ability to pen even a rambling incoherent monograph, much to our good fortune.Spare us your book, Mr. Trump.historians tend to focus more on Adolf Hitler than on his supporters. He is, after all, more famous, more powerful as an individual than those who actually brought him to power. Seventeen million Germans elected him in 1933, a constituency which compares strikingly to Donald Trump's near,y a hundred years later. Angry, alienated white blue collar men who felt that the system had bypassed them, depriving them of their rightful place of privilege in society. Angry, alienated, fearful of and hateful towards foreigners, Trump's supporters, like Hitler's, are mainly christian, and Trump, like Hitler, paid lip service to their faith, while being a non christian himself, something of a  new age occultist. The common denominator is their far right affiliation. Both cult like groups were fervently loyal to their precious leader, who promised to return their nation's to a glorious epoch of the epoch, an imaginary epoch, to "make Germany great again" as Hitler put it. In the United states today, with right wing extremism gone mainstream, the republican party embracing it, white christian identity along for the ride, much of America, as much as forty percent, is rapidly becoming, or has already become, semi-fascist in its ideology and preferred methods, subversion of existing norms. Behold the widespread support for teh Capitol insurrection, and the wider spread belief that trump ;ost the election by theft, a complete fraud, but one which has become sacred dogma among the far right extreme movement. This nascent american fascism must be opposed and defeated before it becomes more than merely nascent.
