United States of Fascism

Okay, this might be a controversial take on Fascism in America. I’ve been thinking about this one for a long time, and frankly, I don’t know what to characterize it. What we have is to me, is Incompetent Fascism more or less. Trump and his cronies are trying to act like dictators, but their incompetence and stupidity don’t make it work as it should. That and the Founding Fathers did some good thinking, I guess. I mean, there are some issues that do follow fascist dictatorships. The presentation of The Leader as tough and so on. But Trump is old, he’s getting less sane by the day, and slowly but surely the media is starting to look at his gaffes (falling asleep, word salads, poor memory, deranged posts on Truth Social), which are starting to catch the public eye. While in China, he fell asleep during the ceremony. I mean, I can understand the need to sleep, but you don’t really do it in front of the world.

Throughout the years, Trump has criticized Biden and still does, for no reason. Is Biden the president? Is Obama? Of course not, but he acts like they're slowly manipulating things against him, and they’re quite clearly not. It’s understandable if Biden were still president, fair game, but not when you’re the president. And the point is that strong presidents or leaders extoll their virtues and play to the media. Trump is combative with the media, but when a dictator needs to have him seen in a good light, not criticizing people for asking the questions that he gets asked. He goes on rants on Truth Social that people are naturally questioning his sanity. Who gets up in the middle of the night and posts wildly? When I had my second mental health crisis, I did that, getting little to no good sleep, and instead made wild accusations until the law had to take its course with me. I figure that he’s in a perpetual mental health crisis, and he thinks that he’s actually, literally guiding us to a destination, that he doesn’t know what direction to go in, just whatever somebody tells him to do. That’s what fascism needs, a strong hand, and he doesn’t have the shrewdness, just the incompetence and old age guiding him with the dementia he inherited from his father. He’s about to be 80 years old, and guiding this country to it’s ruin.

When Hitler took power in the 1930s, he guided with a sure hand to what Nazi Germany became. It was strong, feared. The US military is feared, yes, but we make a lot of mistakes, mistakes our adversaries know and are starting to exploit. He had control of the populace, who saw him as a visionary and so on, which Trump enjoys. But such delusion is also not as paramount as Hitler's, though, because Trump fails. The Nazi Party had successes, a lot of them, so the populace supported them. While I don’t watch the MeidasTouch videos, there’s a lot of failure, along with a lot of things. Things are breaking, and the citizenry is tired of how out of touch the Republican (and the Democrats as well to a degree) politicians are these days. Who cares if you make 174,000 when my grocery expenses are through the roof, and why do we need another forever war for? I like cheap gas and groceries. Sure, it happened under Biden, but not like this. Trump is simply not winning as he claims. He tries to say that he’s doing great (he doesn’t have to pay for anything), and lives in a place he’s demolishing for a pet project that nobody needs.

While I may not have made a point in the preceding paragraphs about the role of fascism in the United States of America. It’s too disjointed, and the courts have been the last line of defense, even if sometimes they’re ignored. Orban managed to pull it off for 16 years, but Trump? Sure they’re trying to implement fascism, and has the hallmarks of fascism, but I don’t know, this isn’t Russia, though our economy is getting close to it, and we’re going to have a recession. Not IF, but when will it happen? There are a lot of things that, through Mein Kampf, Trump tries to instigate, and he’s had some successes, but the incompetence of the administration and the fighting in the courts and states have largely weathered it down. The first year and a half has been rough, no doubt, but overall, we will win, and not fail the Founding Fathers on the defense from fascism. I feel right now we’re in a lull with Iran, and things are moving in a good direction, but it remains to be seen how far things will really go when he dies.
