The year before a fulminating Nazi rally in a packed Madison Square Garden in New York, FDR warned that the global rise of fascism was the result of democratic governments doing the opposite of the New Deal and protecting an economic status quo enriching a tiny handful at the expense of everyone else."Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership," he said in a 1938 radio address. "Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat."
America the not so beautiful... I'm sorry, but our founding fathers set up this bull shit by giving President's unchecked power and authority, which was bolstered by that useless unsupreme court. Furthermore, if our founding fathers had the guts, ending slavery would have been included in the declaration of independence.
ReplyDeleteIt's not SCROTUS, there is a whole industry driving towards authoritarianism in the background. Trump's days are numbered; I would be surprised if he survived his first year back in office. It's everyone in the wings waiting for him to drop that is ready to replace him. This "Heritage Foundation"; the authors of "Project 2025" have been pulling the ropes since Newt Gingrich during the Clinton years.

I am very worried about our country, to say the least. We have to figure out how to stop these Nazis, but I am at a loss as to what to do.
