Creeping Fascism In America

A DEEPENING GLOOM pervades the nation, as the dreadful specter of fascism encroaches across the land, casting its ominous dark shadow everywhere. Such movements as socialism, feminism, and racial equality have been accused of making a similar "slow creep" into the fabric of American life, incrementally insinuating and imposing themselves upon American culture and society. In every case, there is some truth to the notion of the "slow creep". almmost as if there is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of huge proportions, perpetrated by some secretive "deep state" or something, to funadmentally alter the kind of country the United States is without attracting attention, without anyone knowing what is happening until after it has happened. Really, of course, this is a mere illusion, as the percentage of teh poplation which, after strenuous resistance, which accepts thee progressive concepts gradually but inexorably increases and gains momentum. As fascism in the era of Trump now seems to be creeping into America, its not a progressive cause, and its not becaue a growing number of Americans support it, but rather, because the minority of Americans who do support Trump's authoritarian fascist aspirations, while still a minority, is now in power, and well able to implement as much of its nefarious agenda as it can, unless and until of large enough segment of we the American people, or the judicial system, stops it. Trump, well aware that the judicial system constitutes a threat to his aims, is now attacking it, and the attack seems destined to increase in intensity very soon. Trump seems to think that we the American people, no matter how large in numbers our opposition to him, will never be sufficiently politically strong to do anything about it, but that the judiciary, which has already seen the SCOTUS render rulings unfavorable to Trump, is indeed a threat to the Trump agenda. The FBI has begun arresting judges, and the plan is for the federal Justice Department to file charges against them for allegedly assisting illigal immigrants elude apprehension, incarceration, and probable deportation. Theonly question is: how far will this go? Wil we witness the horrifying process of Trump's hand picked Attorney General, the hot young blonde Pam Bondi, presiding over the arrest of hundreds or even thousands of American judges, with the new Trump FBI, headed by Trump lackey Kash Patel, doing the work of gestapo style goons? The best way to resist Trump's fascism at this point would be for a few judges to be arrested, charged wth aiding and a betting undocumented immigrants, then found by the courts to be entirely innocent, and to thus put a healthy serving of egg on the face on the whole fascist administration. Now,let's be clear. There is no way in hell or America that we the people under Trump are going to deport anywhere close to the eleven million or so illegal immigrants who now live in these united states. No, freaking, way, period. It aint hapnin', as they say. Hell, we'll be "lucky" to deport even a tiny fraction of that impossible number. Eventually perhaps, we'll all come to our senses, document those now udocumented, stop retending that we can deprt eleven million people, and start controlling the border and organnizing and documenting all humans who cross it, for the first time ever. Traditionaly, we Americans mostly haven't given a damn, which might ultimately be the best attitude. or at least the least burdensome, legally and morally...
