The Orange traitor calls us patriot Democrats “communists” and then is openly siding with the communist dictator of North Korea??? Vote all blue as I intend to do!!!
America has a vile, disgusting, sicko running our beloved country! America, we must fix this disaster and accept the damage already done by his and his regime’s madness!
Agreed, but unfortunately, a lot of irreversible damage has been done already to our country, mental health, as well as physical that will take years to fix! Thanks to the psycho in our WH and his sycophants! Those service members killed in his reckless war with Iran, are gone! No power on this earth can bring them back nor restore the devastation visited upon their families!
Trump sees himself as a “player” with these dictatorships. Rules are for suckers and all that matters is power and intimidation. They see him for the pathetic wannabe he is, a chicken pretending to be a tough guy. Hopefully Republicans wake up before he destroys even more than he already has.
Not likely. At this point, only American voters can change the outcome. The question is, will they--and in enough numbers that the elections cannot be contested.🤞
So the reason why he does things is rarely what he SAYS it is.
In this case, the people manipulating him behind the scenes are all neofascists, so they WANT to destroy all democracies in the world, replace them with fascist regimes, and strengthen the existing fascist regimes (starting with Russia and China, and then also their allies (North Korea, Iran, ...).
The goal of today's neofascist GOP is not to get rid of the Iranian dictatorship. It's to make sure that it is led by people who are neofascists AND who side with the GOP.
Republicans today are building the world Putin's ideologue Dugin always dreamed of: a "global order" that is "multipolar", with a handful of big, fascist regimes controlling everything.
Switching alliances from democratic South Korea to fascist North Korea is just another step into that direction.
No, not at all. There is no evidence backing up that hypothesis.
This is precisely one of the main differences between fascism and neofascism. Neofascism studied 1930s fascism and learned from the Nazis' mistakes. They realized that it's not necessary for ONE nation to control all others. What is needed instead (as Dugin perfectly explains) is a multipolar world consisting of a handful of big, powerful neofascist empires.
Each empire keeps its population under control by imposing one local langage and a fundamentalist version of its most dominant religion.
Neofascists are perfectly fine with the fact that Erdogan imposes fundamentalist Islam while the US would impose a fundamentalist version of Protestantism.
Neofascism is still 100% "nationalist", but nationalism is now merely "opium for the masses". So each empire can celebrate its own form of nationalism. All that matters is that there are only a few big empires, and that they are all ruled by an "elite" (family or not; doesn't matter) that ideologically strongly believes that neofascism is the best political ideology.
Ok, I have no problem with your notion of neofascism as a theory. But if you look at each of the fascists’ mentalities, from Putin to Musk, there is an infinite hunger that appears unconstrained by hair-splitting theories.
It's demonstrably true. Read Kevin Roberts (president of the Heritage Foundation), listen to 2009 lectures of Peter Thiel, who bankrolls Vance's career as a venture capitalist and politician (and since 2016 also Trump). Read Project 2025 (written in collaboration with Viktor Orban's Danube Institute, which was founded to help democracies transition to neofascism. Or read Gil Duran's book "The Nerd Reich" (just out). Etc. etc. Proof is everywhere. It's just that the legacy media don't talk about it while independent media seem to reject ideologies altogether...
I will readily concede that you have a better handle on the intricacies of the various flavors of fascism than I do.
I prefer to look at it in very broad strokes, because I doubt that the MAGA rank-and-file care about Steve Bannon vs Ayn Rand, ideologically speaking.
Instead I notice the same four pillars in every flavor of fascism:
— My religion is the best.
— My race is the best.
— My country is the best.
— My sex is the best.
The details vary over time and place, yet every dictator is in lockstep against immigrants, against the infidel, against diversity, against LGTBQ, and against freedoms for women.
Every one of these plays on fears of being replaced from power.
Since it keeps cropping its ugly head up over and over again across the globe and over the centuries (yes, I’m saying fascism pre-dates Mussolini), I don’t see much coherently thoughtful ideology behind it, so much as an overabundance of testosterone and personal grudges by a ‘big man’.
It’s a gut response, and the proof is that it only lasts as long as the supply of testosterone and resentment holds out. The Rule of Law and the Practice of Tolerance are, I dare say, more stable and functional. [Besides, more people like it.]
Case in point: in the space of time between Genghis Kahn and Kublai Kahn, we went from a culture of raping-and-pillaging to building architectural wonders.
I’m sure that plenty of educated bros, such as Elon Musk, would have no disagreement with the four pillars. They might point to the fact that all people are flatly not created equal. They don’t bother completing the logic: but a society based on laws cannot function without equality under the law.
The purpose of the state is to coordinate the building of infrastructure for the greatest good, not to rank goodness between individuals.
So instead of quibbling over proto-fascism, neo-fascism, or son-of-fascism, let’s recognize that when we scratch down, Dugin is saying the same bloody thing as Nero and Mugabe. And expose it as the same dirty, dumbass thing that doesn’t work.
Considering how deeply Russia is in bed with both China and North Korea, Japan and South Korea should be collaborating with Ukraine right now like there's no tomorrow. In addition to their expanding drone technology, Ukraine now has experience battling North Korean troops AND is gaining the (very hard-won and bitter) experience with North Korean missiles.
Considering Russia had just completed another road connection with North Korea to simplify supply and troop delivery AND considering Russia's little stunt with one of the disputed islands, Ukraine should be Japan's and South Korea's new best friend right now.
Agree they have much in common but Ukraine has its hands full at the moment. It would be more helpful if the United States lived up to its treaty obligations and robustly supported its allies. Trump seems to think the US is propping up weaker countries, which is not true. A strong alliance is just good sense.
Oh, Ukraine is willing. Ukrainian sources like Kyiv Independent, Kyiv Post, and Censor had covered this several times over the past several weeks. Ukraine had reached out to both South Korea and Japan. Especially after Russia and North Korea finished that bridge. And those of us inside and outside Ukraine covering the war have been saying for months - if Russia is not checked in Ukraine, it will start pushing its territorial demands with other countries. Which it has. So, Japan, Finland, Poland, the Baltic states all should be banding together right now, because they all have territorial disputes with Russia.
And on the same night that we learn about Trump's turning his back on S. Korea and his kissy-lips toward N. Korea, we learn that N. Korea (as well as China) currently has the ability to launch missiles that can strike the whole west coast.
This Parnas report features a video of NORTHCOM Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Joseph Jarrard explaining how vulnerable we are, how astonishingly unprepared for a full-scale attack from both those western countries and from Russia.
It's not about him. It's about the fact that a neofascist GOP believes that world peace will be easier to install if we no longer try to turn fascist regimes into democracies but instead side with them and show them that from now on, we ideologically AGREE with them.
Trump is a narcissistic, child-like 80-year-old who can't have enough toys or be spoiled enough. That's why he wants to claim territories, engrave his name on everything, and erect monuments to himself. Me, me, me! Mine, mine, mine! He's nothing but a false idol craving worship from every country in the world.
Yes, me too. And one possibility that really freaks me out is any condition that might remove our access to our precious online connection with Adam and Aaron. Being nuked would be one such scenario :-/ But so would Reps retaining control of both houses of Congress; then Trump would go full-throttle dictator and do whatever he wants with impunity.... I'm sorry to share such a bummer of a thought...... I've been in a grim mood ever since watching Aaron's post last night.
that isn't going to happen. We are going to win more seats and that's why he's doing these desperate things. And about SK he just wants to bully everyone into doing his wishes.. we Will stop him and he will be impeached so many times after he loses both the house and the senate.. No discussing it as everyone knows what he's done.
It is worse than Trump having his feelings hurt. We have seen that he is a dictator wannabe who idolizes past and present tyrants. He cannot be trusted. Starting with November, we must remove his enablers in Congress and in the judicial system. Short of impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment (both of which are deserved) we must at a minimum neutralize his power and his ability to trample over the Constitution.
It's the opposite. A neo-fascist GOP enables Trump to stay out of prison as long as he agrees to constantly distract us from what they do and stay stuck in TDS.
That's why we urgently need to get rid of ALL Republicans on all levels of government, and that will continue to be the case long after Trump is gone.
Distraction and deception are all part of Trump’s playbook. For all we know, his illegal war of choice may be one big deflection. It’s certainly a possibility that hidden powers within and outside the USA could be pulling his strings.
It's not a possibility, it has been PROVEN that the GOP ITSELF has become neofascist.
Who writes Trump's executive orders, you think?
Most of them come from Project 2025, written by the Heritage Foundation, and supported by neofascist tech billionaires such as Thiel, Musk, Andreessen, Sachs etc. Those are the people making the decisions... while Trump distracts us.
And yes, legacy media like to imagine that the Iran war was Trump's idea. In the meantime, it's clear that "turning" a few Iranian leaders (such as Ahmadinejad) by convincing them that the US now agrees with them that fascism is the only solution is 100% coherent with what neofascists have been writing about for years. So this is on the GOP. Trump is merely their clown in chief.
Ok, but it does matter who is at the top of the pyramid, and who is doing the throwing-under-the-bus. We know there is a thick pack who would like to take the helm, just to thoroughly mix the metaphors.
What about Russia. They could be dictating trump’s movements. Start a war with Iran and use up all our long range missiles to make the US more vulnerable to a takeover by the Russians or the Chinese. Lie to the people by telling them that Russians are our friends. Get rid of significant military leaders that were the first line of defeating Communism. Between Hegseth and Trump they have neutralized our military. We as a country are extremely vulnerable.
We do know: it’s a deflection, or several of them, every single time. Among them is his dim recognition that South Korea is a hugely successful liberal democracy that took 70 years to crawl out of a militaristic dead end. His present back-turning is a back-handed compliment, because SK gets in the way of his final solution of world-domination.
Besides, the convicted felon made a choice to get America into this war with Iran without communicating to our allies, and now expects them to blindly follow his demands, or else! Pathetic!
Well, well, well. A person with a fragile personality was elected president, and his ego is wounded, because several countries dared to refuse his demand to help him in what he perceived as moment of need - his need. So he retaliates by hurting our allies in the best way he knows how - supporting their enemies. It’s a part of a pattern. Russia over Ukraine, China over Taiwan, and Russia over NATO. And now, North Korea over South Korea. How pathetic!
We have a toddler who is wielding a bat in a china shop. He destroys everything he can when he doesn’t get his way. He is the most ignorant and worst president in the history of the US.
He is presiding over this country's total destruction: socially, financially, militarily, culturally, morally -- in every way The destruction of the East Wing is symbolic. We may look pretty much like we did a couple of years ago, but in all the above ways are very nearly rubble. And now he wants the Supreme Court to allow him to replace the rubble with his own fortified bunker -- fortified against the forces of U.S. democracy. That's how he presides over this country.
More of his garbage. He will not be happy until we are completely destroyed. In EVERY way. Traitor. A complete traitor. Maybe he should just go move in with Kim Twit. This is really disgusting. We are in so much trouble. Just about as Un-American as it gets.
No, pretty sure he’s shown he’s not. He is either golfing, posting irrational screeds all night or sleeping through meetings on national television. It leaves us to wonder who the Rasputin is. Spoiler alert:S. Miller
I heard a crackpot suggestion that we should just proceed in every way to act as if we had a normal American government. I’m not sure how to get the keys to the congressional office when they force the election of a traitor, but, y’know… details.
The flip side of that coin is to resist, every day, in every way, more than we did yesterday. For every atrocity, we say no, loud and clear.
"[Republicans'] silence now is reprehensible and impossible to excuse."
Their silence has been reprehensible and impossible to excuse for the past 10 years, and especially in the past 19 months! Just ask the Epstein survivors, troops wounded in the Middle East, Veterans losing benefits, military officers who were struck from promotion lists despite being the best qualified for a star, families who have lost SNAP who are hungry, the millions who have already lost health insurance and are taking on debt (which now hurts their credit more than before), the disenfranchised voters of color, the immigrant families torn apart, the families of those murdered by ICE or murdered via airstrikes in the Caribbean, the imprisoned children whose lives are ruined as they will always have PTSD, the girls and women being sexually assaulted by agents in ICE concentration camps, the long-times residents who have been deported to countries they don't know and/or haven't seen in decades where they may face persecution... the list goes on.
Yes, but that 19 months is the exact period they think they’ve become untouchable. How wrong they are— or will eventually be. And then the shuffling to the back of the room will begin. All must go to trial!
Pyongyang on the Potomac seems to mean more than plastering Dear Leader’s portrait all over Washington DC and building a throne room. He seems to want to be like Kim Jung Un in other ways as well. Meanwhile the sycophants who know better act like a gang of North Korean factotums who dare not tell Dear Leader he is destroying our country.
The Orange traitor calls us patriot Democrats “communists” and then is openly siding with the communist dictator of North Korea??? Vote all blue as I intend to do!!!
America has a vile, disgusting, sicko running our beloved country! America, we must fix this disaster and accept the damage already done by his and his regime’s madness!
NO accepting the damage - we must repair all his vile actions and restore our country.
Agreed, but unfortunately, a lot of irreversible damage has been done already to our country, mental health, as well as physical that will take years to fix! Thanks to the psycho in our WH and his sycophants! Those service members killed in his reckless war with Iran, are gone! No power on this earth can bring them back nor restore the devastation visited upon their families!
I was with you until “accept the damage…” — I hope you meant “accept that damage has already been done…”
Exactly!
No. Those who have crime under his instructions deserve their own Nuremberg
Trump sees himself as a “player” with these dictatorships. Rules are for suckers and all that matters is power and intimidation. They see him for the pathetic wannabe he is, a chicken pretending to be a tough guy. Hopefully Republicans wake up before he destroys even more than he already has.

“replace them with fascist regimes”, yes, but ultimately the aim is to replace those with a single crime family.
No, not at all. There is no evidence backing up that hypothesis.

Ok, I have no problem with your notion of neofascism as a theory. But if you look at each of the fascists’ mentalities, from Putin to Musk, there is an infinite hunger that appears unconstrained by hair-splitting theories.
It's not "my" notion of neofascism.
And it's not a "theory". It's an ideology, put into practice by Putin, Orban in Hungary, and now the GOP.
Time to wake up!
Oh right, you mentioned language. So there are five pillars:
—My language is the best.
This is truly frightening. And not at all impossible.
It's demonstrably true. Read Kevin Roberts (president of the Heritage Foundation), listen to 2009 lectures of Peter Thiel, who bankrolls Vance's career as a venture capitalist and politician (and since 2016 also Trump).

It nauseates me to agree with your truthful statement.
Considering how deeply Russia is in bed with both China and North Korea, Japan and South Korea should be collaborating with Ukraine right now like there's no tomorrow. In addition to their expanding drone technology, Ukraine now has experience battling North Korean troops AND is gaining the (very hard-won and bitter) experience with North Korean missiles.

Agree. In effect, Ukraine and Zelensky are fighting the first wave of WWIII and defending democracy.

We should all know about this.
I don’t think he cares about the West Coast.
Agreed. His first response on learning that China and/or Korea had nuked California would be glee. One blue state bit the dust.
It's not about him. It's about the fact that a neofascist GOP believes that world peace will be easier to install if we no longer try to turn fascist regimes into democracies but instead side with them and show them that from now on, we ideologically AGREE with them.

Trump hates California as its governor speaks out against the corruption.
oh Lord Jude.. we would be in such a mess..! Thank God for Adam and Aaron for all the info we get from them.
Yes, me too. And one possibility that really freaks me out is any condition that might remove our access to our precious online connection with Adam and Aaron.

OK then! :-> I'm going to hold on to this message in mind. Thank you, Ellen.
i am an eternal optimist..whether thats good or bad :)
It is distressing but keep in mind that Orange Swampy is scared to death. He is so frightened, he can't sleep or think. He is eaten up with fear.
It is worse than Trump having his feelings hurt. We have seen that he is a dictator wannabe who idolizes past and present tyrants. He cannot be trusted.

And now, North Korea over South Korea. How pathetic!
You left off Trump over America
I think it’s worse than that. I think the people propping Trump up are exploiting every opportunity for power and money.
It’s worth pointing out that South Korea is vastly more dependent on the oil coming through the Gulf than we are.
They’re also much more open to alternative energy sources than the US.
We have a toddler who is wielding a bat in a china shop. He destroys everything he can when he doesn’t get his way. He is the most ignorant and worst president in the history of the US.
When he dc’d exercises in 2018 there was no Iran war rationale, just the request of his buddy Kim. Are you SURE he’s the President of AMERICA?
He is presiding over this country's total destruction: socially, financially, militarily, culturally, morally -- in every way The destruction of the East Wing is symbolic. We may look pretty much like we did a couple of years ago, but in all the above ways are very nearly rubble.

What can be done? Do you have any suggestions?
VOTE.
I heard a crackpot suggestion that we should just proceed in every way to act as if we had a normal American government. I’m not sure how to get the keys to the congressional office when they force the election of a traitor, but, y’know… details.

The midterm elections can't come soon enough. Please God that they be free and fair so that our democracy can start being repaired and preserved.
The Felon, The Traitor, The Grifter, The Pedophile. So many titles, so little time.
