“Straight White men built the roads we drive on, the buildings where we live, and the ones that fought and declared independence from the tyranny of the British for us to have freedom and the pursuit of happiness,” Gomez said. “To anyone that does not like America, GTFO [get the f*** out].”


It's funny that she should say this, since the road in front of my house was redone over the last couple of months and all I saw was Hispanics doing almost 100% of the manual labor and women holding the go/stop flags at the end of the street on both ends and at least one of the supervisors was African American.  I didn't question them on their sexual orientation. 



 

Not even the same argument or subject but the specious talk of England / British / revolution always makes me think of this Simpsons scene.

I'll be the judge of that, my esteemed tan amigo. We here at The Council of Thor suspect that she may have some spanking time to make up for her unladylike yapping, and then we will entertain suggestions from her as to why we should delay her deportation.

Yeah, that one in particular made me chuckle.  I haven't seen a road or construction crew in Texas in my entire life that was predominantly or even largely made up of "white men."  When I was a kid in SETX....outdoor hard working crews (construction, roofers, etc.) were mostly.....black.   Over the past few decades, that shifted to mostly (if not entirely) hispanic.  Fucking fantastic.

Wanted to get this posted before it gets old and I forget. I posted earlier in this or another thread about the one house with pro-Trump signs I pass on my 3 mile morning walk. I posted a pic that showed his “I miss the America I grew up in!” sign which stood next to his “Trump was right about everything - Wake up, America!” sign. Well, he did some rearranging a couple days ago. He had a bunch of Latino laborers over to shingle his roof. Lo and behold, the “Trump was right” sign had been removed.

Fuck that. They should move. They’re in the minority here. It’s a very diverse community where I live. (Probably part of why the fascist dude misses the America he grew up in. He probably didn’t have a black family living next door back then.) Like I said, I’m only walking 3 miles but in all that distance these are the only outward expressions of Trumpism I see. Back when we had the special election to protect voting rights, and then the election to enshrine women’s reproductive rights in our Constitution, the signage was overwhelmingly in favor of the rights of voters and women and over much more territory than I cover in my morning walks.

How?".... the interview should end there. Or just keep asking different variations of that. You shouldn't get a free pass to spew fucking garbage like that on national tv with no consequences. 

Same goes for "hurr durr, all of these charges against Trump are so ridiculous". "Um, actually, we all watched this shit happen in real time. Care to explain that bizarre stance of yours? No? Then goodbye, thank you for coming on the show."

How was Trump supposed to know there would be questions about his suppression of the bi-partisan immigration reform bill passed by the senate? Or about the economy? Or about Ukraine? Or Israel? Or who won the 2020 election and whether he would accept the results if he loses again? He can’t predict the future!

Agree.

One key problem is the TV news anchors/hosts are TV personalities, first and foremost — not trained critical thinkers. TV anchors/hosts spend far more time on make-up, appearances, apparel, and TV speaking skills. So there is little time spent honing critical analysis skills or deep reading of any history, such as Naziism, to see the clear parallels to 2025 and Mein Kampf. And they sure as hell ain’t blaming anything on Christianity-Fascism running amok. 

The anchors are simply not informed enough or skilled enough, so all they can do is point out the obvious hypocrisies and little else. Plus, there are rules of softball questions, no confrontation, no serious challenges, etc. Meanwhile, for the Christian Fascists, the rules are being annihilated. The gloves are off for them, yet TV anchors still treat it like a friendly legit policy disagreements.

That’s why they will never tell the Heritage Dude that he is fascist theocrat and favors the violent domination of society. 

Step one. You can never concede the moral high ground to Christian fascists on TV, or anywhere else. And you can never let them ignore their violent bloody history. Time’s up, time to play hardball, it is not 100% too late already.

Questions that will never be posed in American mass/TV media: 

— I thought these up in five minutes, would make them more polished with time. 

Q.  You stated you believe America is God’s Country and was ordained by God to be Christian nation. So that can only that mean your God approved of the mass murder of millions of Indigenous peoples by Christians after Columbus arrived. How is that not the case?

Q. The first line in the First Amendment clearly stats there shall be no establishment of religion? Can you not comprehend that? Or are you just a liar and propagandist for imposing a violent theocracy?

Q. How long have you been a fascist theocrat in love with guns, violence, and the brutal domination of women, immigrants, and gay people? 

Q. How many scientists, educators, and atheists will you throw in jail for disputing your ignorant anti-science policies?

Q. History clearly suggests that mass deportations lead to mass killing. After all, the Christians murdered millions of Native Americans to steal the land that is America … and the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews in the name of the Aryan myth. When will MAGA start the violence and mass slaughter in the name of White Christian America?

If an anchor asked these kinds of questions on national TV, the Christian MAGA outrage would be EPIC. The New York Times would denounce the host and network. The TV network would instantly capitulate, the host would be fired, and face death threats for years. Might be even be thrown in jail for blasphemy, because those laws are coming.

Ain’t no company, CEO, or university leader in this country openly standing up to Christian Fascism and their BS propaganda. None.

That’s why we are fucked big time.

 

You think the answers to any of those questions, other than "yes," or the equivalent, will make a shit with voters?

You raise a valid point. We could be too far gone. But it is worth a shot. Nothing to lose.

Here’s what I have directly seen. In my younger days at UT and elsewhere in America, I debated Bible-thumping Christians — from creationist students at the Free Speech Table on the West Mall … to PHD theologians. I learned they always wilt when you:

— never concede any moral high ground they claim

— never accept any alleged “facts" they claim

— never accept any fallacies, BS nonsense

— never let them deny any history (such at the Christian-led genocide across the three continents of the “New World” post Columbus).

— never accept they have any proof for Genesis 1:1. 

— The list goes on….

Deep down, the theologians  know they are sitting on a giant edifice of BS mythology and fact-free superstition. Not so much the run-of-the-mill Bible-thumper, though. And they are the most dangerous.

I still find it unlikely that America will become the fascist state that some want, but the percent chance has grown significantly over the last 10 years. Think about how the GOP previously revered Reagan. The extreme right has now pulled the gop from that path which would have seemed impossible in the 80s and 90s.

It’s an internet troupe to compare anything to hitler but he went from a prisoner of an attempted coup to German chancellor (effectively prime minister) in a decade. I’m sure that when he was convicted, the average German would have said it was ridiculous to imagine what would soon be reality.

my fear is that the seeds have already set and it will only take a younger version of trump to set it off.

Germany was coming out of a crushing defeat in World War I, with the worst economic sanctions that had ever been applied, were in the midst of worldwide depression, and were looking at an option of Hitler’s fascism versus a Stalinist version of communism. Remember the great purge began in the mid to late thirties. They had an 80 some odd year old head of state. There are parallels, but it is not close to the same situation here.

It is one of the wildest things to me as an 80s kid - how the Republican Party as a whole has embraced Russia, it’s former KGB agent-turned dictator, and its war upon a democracy in Europe. If you told me this would happen in the late 80s, I would have asked if you were an author cranking out one of those survivalist/apocalyptic books that were popular in the 80s (the Soviets infiltrate the White House, and things lead to a nuclear war, etc.).

Yeah, there are Republicans who claim to support freedom, democracy, and things Ukraine, but they aren’t leaving their party over the Republican leadership embracing Russia and Putin, and Trump vowing to do some horrible shit, so they are at best enablers.

The nazis didn't take power with a majority, hell they didn't even win 40% of the vote in 1932. Trump has more support right now than the nazis did when they took power. That should be more than enough for people to realize that it can happen here and the fact that so many people are still in denial is fucking terrifying. 

Trump can’t take power with 40% of the vote, and he couldn’t even do it with 45% of the vote.

He’s also not inspiring his base to truly riot or demonstrate in the streets on a fairly constant basis (unless you count posting stupid memes on Facebook as demonstrating), his rallies have shrunk from 2020, not grown (and the rallies he has are pathetic), and nobody is going to show up and storm the courtroom next month when he’s sentenced.  Most of us have seen evidence that public enthusiasm for Trump has lessened (lack of yard signs, smaller rallies that aren’t even full) and while he took over the RNC’s finances, his lackeys are begging for $5 and. $10 on social media.

And that brings us to this - Trump is all about the grift, and even his followers know it - the Trump Bible was the “in your face” sign that it’s about the grift, but the signs were already there as he demanded a cut from down-ballot candidates using his likeness in their fundraising efforts, and as his daughter-in-law made it clear the RNC only cared about electing Trump and not the down-ballot candidates. He’s also constantly rambling at his rallies, and his speeches are his insecurity put on stage for the world to see, and him whining about stupid shit that nobody really cares about. Hell, somebody told him he was wrong about batteries in boats, so rather than not bring that up again, he doubles down and brings it up again - he wastes precious minutes on the stage about stupid shit that his audience doesn’t care about.

Contrast that with Hitler who continued to grow and cultivate his followers, and who used his rallies and their speeches to refine his message that was about an ideology that was far bigger than himself.  Trump’s ideology begins and ends with himself and his bank account, and his speeches are those of a late-night huckster on QVC who lives in the moment, not an ideologue-driven madman like Hitler who is constantly tweaking and polishing the message about a cause that he intends to live on long after he is dead and buried. Even when he rambled in his speeches, there was a purpose and he kept his audiences focused on the end game while Trump whines and talks about shit that has nothing to do with leading the nation.

if Hitler was convicted in 1932, and his sentencing was just a few months before he was appointed to office in January of 1933, you can bet the brown shirts would have killed the judge before the sentencing and made it look like the Juden did it , and all of the court records would have disappeared (let’s not kid ourselves, the trial would not have happened).  Meanwhile, a handful of Trump followers are working out what dumb fucking flags they will parade around across the street from the courthouse next month, and where they will be able to charge their Rascal scooters, and none of the Proud Boys or the other MAGA dipshits will lift a finger against a cop at the courthouse.

And yet we're on the precipice of an openly fascist candidate who is openly saying he wants to be a dictator and deport 20 million people getting elected President. 

Economic issues can be exploited by fascists to aid in recruitment, but it's not what fuels fascism. Fascism is, more than anything, a psychological phenomenon. Italy didn't need the great depression for Mussolini to rise to power, he marched on Rome nearly a decade before the great depression began. What all fascists have in common is the ability to divide their opposition and exploit literally whatever issues exist to get enough people on their side for just long enough for them to take power.

We have more than enough issues for the fascists to exploit.  You're looking for reasons that give you some hope for why it can't happen here. That's what the fascists want people to do, because everyone thinking it can't happen here is the only way they have any opportunity to actually succeed. The nazis didn't take power with a majority, hell they didn't even win 40% of the vote in 1932. Trump has more support right now than the nazis did when they took power.

I’m not looking for hope. I’m thinking about what the probability of it happening is. I wish it was zero but sadly it’s not. I have asked for anyone to show a likely electoral path to the presidency for Trump and no one has

What's kinda baffling to me are the staunch Ukraine supporters in the DT war thread, who are clearly conservatives based on general posting history and quick-to-blame Biden comments regarding military aid, who will then turn around and still vote for the guy who's basically come out and said he'd yank support for Ukraine and has threatened to pull out of NATO.

If this isn't a national security crisis (and not just one for our European allies) that conservatives have always been so keen on, then I don't know what is. I hope I'm wrong about the assumption that they'll still vote for the orange turd. Still, I don't doubt many will overlook that disconnect in the voting booth because of a "party before country" attitude, regardless of what their party has become.

Notably, those same posters are also generally silent on the rise of fascistic parties in the EU, such as the National Rally in France or the AfD in Germany both of which are beholden to the Kremlin.

Europe is our largest trading and investment partner, so it absolutely is a national security crisis, but a lot of Republicans seem disconnected about the whole purpose of our alliances (including NATO) and our military.  While we like to wave the flag and talk about defending democracy and being the leader of the free world, at the end of the day, our military has the footprint that it does because of our economic interests. If it was only about defending the physical US, we already have our nuclear arsenal, we’d mothball a chunk of our Navy and replace those ships with another 50 or so submarines, we’d boost our aerial anti-ship capabilities, and we’d focus our ground forces to be smaller and more mobile (probably keep them on a few large bases in the Midwest, with quick deployment capabilities to either coast).

But we do business with the rest of the world and how Europe’s economy chugs along affects Joe Smith in Bumfuck, Arkansas.  Trump May have properties in other parts of the world, but being a real estate type is far different than a factory in Alabama that ships stuff outside of the US over the ocean, or a company in California that imports some materials from elsewhere.

This is the most worrisome part of it for me. Instead of the masses (even if they were the minority in pre-war Germany) marching to a focused beat toward a fascist end, we're at threat of lazily slouching our way into fascism because we're at the mercy of a lazy-thinking minority thanks to the electoral fucking college. In a twisted way, the contemporary scenario is maybe more insidious because we can look back at history to see where fascism leads. In contrast, the Germans and Italians didn't really have that particular benefit of hindsight.
