INTRODUCTION
We are living and dying in the Authoritarian Nightmare!!! We need to cage our authoritarian threat NOW!
I’ve read John Dean’s new book Authoritarian Nightmare: Donald Trump and His Followers and have already created emails, FB posts, and another blog post from it. I also read his first book in 2006, Conservatives Without Conscience and posted about it. This threat is real, verifiable, well documented and is occupying the White House, our Senate and our state legislatures.
The Republican Party is populated by almost all those in America who tested as highly prejudicial and authoritarian as documented in Dean’s new book. As Dean documents, They are not going away and the rest of us will need to stand up, en masse, to keep these confirmed authoritarians under control FROM THIS ELECTION FORWARD!
SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL LOSSES
If we don’t, we are doomed to a authoritarian dictatorship where corporations will have veto power over the government. No more checks and balances. No more separation of powers. No more separation of State and Church. No more Social Security. No more Medicare. Massive infrastructure failures. Hundreds of thousand lost to Pandemic mismanagement. Massive military and police build-up. Instead of advancing democracy in the American workplace, American democracy will be no more. Instead of more equality, just more protection and empowerment for the excessively wealthy and, for the rest of us, growing economic, social, racial, and environmental injustice.
Even after DJT is gone there are other ‘Republican’ authoritarian leaders salivating to harness the voting power of these unquestioning right-wing authoritarian followers. Until something is done with Fox Noise and right-wing hate radio, these followers will be huddled, galvanized, and ready to follow the next dictator-wana-be.
As seen by the authoritarian handling of COVID, we are in DEADLY straits and we have to stop their maximization of injustice.
DISTRACTIONS FROM THE THREAT
As we all know, there are many efforts to distract us from this DJT evil and divide us so we can’t fight back. I see now that the distractions includes our own focus on our favorite issues like the keeping the ACA, stopping the separation of immigrant children from their parents and ending the climate crisis. The issue oriented debates are a part of this distraction and are ignoring the Elephant on the debate stage.
We have many distractions from the on-going destruction of our government and our way of life, as perpetrated by authoritarianism, This distruction is largely not discussed by voters and seldom mentioned by our media nor in any debate.
CAGING THE RAMPAGING ELEPHANT
The Authoritarian Republican Elephant is trampling all over our democracy and we need to cage it ASAP.
VOTE DEMOCRATIC.
VOTE AGAINST AUTHORITARIAN RULE.
VOTE EARLY.
VOTE EVERY FUTURE ELECTION.
