It Can't Happen Here, huh?

 America's Brownshirts sure seem to be in a buoyant frame of mind, did something happen recently to titillate their bravura?  Buoyant Brownshirts can never be good thing for anyone:

 ✅

This is what Drumpf's re-election has unleashed.

The fascist prick hasn't even set one foot back in the oval office yet and his radical extremist followers like these Michigan Nazis already feel emboldened to express their Nazi beliefs not only in public, but to the horror of all decent people, at a theater showing of 'The Diary of Anne Frank."

This shit will only get worse as Drumpf takes control and let's loose the racist, fascist dogs of war that he has long desired to unchain and sic on the American people and especially those whom he feels have betrayed him.

Let's get something clear right now.  The Gadfly's view on Nazis and Nazi-adjacent right-wing twats is and always will be identical to the view that Woody Allen's character of Isaac Davis has of them in this clip from the 1979 movie 'Manhattan':

God Saved Drumpf So He Could Rule America as a Dictator? Are You Fucking Kidding Me??

America - you have a Taliban problem.

This is the willful and suicidal stupidity that democracy is up against:

 

I would be sincerely interested in knowing which pastors in which churches are instructing their flocks of mindless sheep that there is no separation of church and state in America.  Those churches should be identified, their pastors condemned, and also have their church's tax-exempt status removed.

The MAGA rank and file have elevated Drumpf to demigod status.  That is the first enabling step toward a populace approving all manner of human rights abuses and evil acts being committed by their chosen leaders.

This poisonous MAGA movement must be defeated and obliterated.  Even if it isn't right now, this very moment an imminent threat, it will eventually become a terminal cancer on all our freedoms if left unchecked.

In a World of Heroes and Cowards Don't Be a Drumpf (Hint: coward)

Watch a real man and authentic hero tell a brutal, genocidal dictator and wanted war criminal to literally go fuck himself.

 

 

When I think of profiles in human courage, I think of the Ukrainian people and Ukraine's former comedic actor President Volodymyr Zelenskyy - a badass for the historical ages.  Ukraine, led by the dauntless leadership of Zelenskyy has stood fast against Putin's murderous aggression and ILLEGAL attempt to subjugate the democracy yearning Ukrainian people to his evil will.  Imagine - little Ukraine, standing firm against the biggest bully on the block Russia, which is 28 times larger than them and nuclear-armed.  That is courage.

On the other hand, when I think of profiles in human cowardice, I not only immediately think of Donald Drumpf, the Putin ass-licker and scrotum fondler himself, but also of those American voters who five days ago cast votes for him and his cadre of campaign investor, billionaire boys club pals like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, Rupert Murdoch, the Saudis, the Russians, and other wealthy tech bro Putinphiles in this election, and helped to put them all in the US White House.  Moral cowards, every damned last one of those voters.

The fascism of Drumpf and Putin and MAGA will not win.  Evil always fails to conquer good in the end.  Sadly though, a bunch of our mostly "deplorable" fellow Americans just voted to put the entirety of the country through economic hell, as well as domestic and international political turmoil for at least another four years and the losers will be the majority of working-class, middle class Americans, and yes, that includes you too Ma and Pa MAGA.  And if we survive, if there's not another pandemic where he kills another million of of us, and if we still have a democracy in 2028, maybe, MAYBE a democrat will get elected and once again take on the task of cleaning up a shattered economy and repair the damaged foreign relations left by Republicans.  It's a cycle of conservative political ratfuckery which has been happening like clockwork since the Great Depression.

What times we are living in though, huh folks, when a cabal of immigrant billionaires can convince so many millions of American voters to become cooperative foot soldiers in their anti-American crusade to become majority shareholder owners in the American people's government and White House? . . . It's all so ungodly surreal.

The Tyranny of Tin-Horn Dictators

 

What a sad state of affairs for the world's premier democracy.

Drumpf has made so many promises to do so much bad and unconstitutional shit if he got re-elected that the US military, probably for the first time in the history of the nation is somberly planning for the day when their own commander-in-chief orders them to take up arms against their own countrymen:

"The Pentagon is bracing for "major upheaval" ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's second term, according to CNN, with officials already holding informal talks about how the Defense Department will respond if Trump orders it to deploy active-duty military troops on his own citizens and makes good on promises to boot large swaths of workers.

Trump insinuated during his campaign he could use the military as a law enforcement mechanism to carry out his plan for mass deportations, and that he would replace government workers with loyalists.

CNN reported Friday that the Pentagon is preparing for an overhaul and is mapping out scenarios ahead of time."

This is Drumpf.  This is MAGA.  This is who they are.  This is the threat that they pose to constitutional law and order in America.

Nice job you people who voted for this fucker.

Nothing To See Hear - Just a Guy Who Wants To "Put Kids in Cages"

Remember - this is what many of Drumpf's own enablers and operatives openly want to do:

These motherfuckers aren't playing around.  They are going to unleash the dogs of war on all manner of immigrants in this country and in their zeal, I damn well guarantee you that good, decent, legal immigrants are going to get caught up in the MAGA feeding frenzy purge and it is going to tear families and communities apart across the country.

Hateful video at this link: [https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1707809675800870957]

If these are the kind of people that Orange Shitler is putting in charge of the undocumented immigrants roundup, then you can be assured that they won't give a flying fuck who else their ICE brownshirt stormtroopers are scooping up in their Blitzkrieg purge and whether the people they are mass deporting are here legally or not.

It's ethnic cleansing 101.

Let Freedumb Ring!!

This is why a convicted felon, rapist, serial liar, serial sexual assaulter, serial adulterer, serial tax cheat, casino bankrupting, twice-impeached, coup-plotting, Putin ass-licking, Saudi piss bucket boy got himself back into the United States White House.

[Study finds surprising number of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows | WHNT.com]

 

Think about this.  There are 16.4 million adults walking around in our society, right now, who believed that chocolate milk came only from brown cows.  Zoinks!!  I know, right?  Lol.

This why our society is in such sorry ass shape.  I wonder how many of these somnambulant goofballs voted?  I'd being willing to wager that more than 90% of the ones that did voted for the orange, grifting greaseball from Mar-a-Lardass, and I think that's a fair bet since it's been known since the dawn of time that stupid people are laughably easy marks for career con-artist charlatans like Drumpf.

Jim Butcher put it succinctly enough:

47th POTUS or Fourth Reich?

He did tell us, you have to give him that.  And it's on tape.  He distinctly said that he wanted to rule the United States of America as a dictator.  

Drumpf and his cabal of radical extremist enablers are chomping at the bit to come in with guns blazing and begin purging the federal government of ANYONE who does not swear personal loyalty to Hair Führer, loyalty over all else, including our laws and our constitution.

These dedicated federal employees, American public servants, many who have spent their lives in public service honorably are members of American communities across the country and Drumpf's goons have plans to systematically purge them out of their jobs, no matter their credentials, no matter their knowledge value, their job performance, their tenure, or their pensions.  These Trumpublican monsters are just going to come in, and exactly like Adolf's henchmen did in the 1930's, start clearing out anyone they suspect in the government of being disloyal to the MAGA cause and who chooses not to pledge their personal loyalty to dear leader.

There is genuine fear rippling through family households across the country right now, I guarantee it, at the prospect of being one of these federal employees who will be faced with a choice of pledging loyalty to an apocalyptic demon, or being asked to clean out their desks and turn in their government ID's and hit the unemployment line.

It's going to get very ugly folks, and I know many are in denial about it, but that is why Drumpf is back in the White House, because y'all haven't been paying fucking attention to what this guy has been saying publicly at his rallies for the past three years, or paying attention to the cold hard text in the MAGA governing manifesto, 'Project 2025,' which by the way, you can go read it yourself what they have planned at this link here --->  [https://www.aclu.org/project-2025-explained]

And while DonOld's minions are busy rooting out long-haired hippies, commies, LGBTQ people, Democrats, and lightly suspected disloyalists from the federal workforce, other operatives will be busy as little beavers directing the roundups of millions of humans they say are here illegally.  Some of those same operatives have openly expressed a desire to remove not only the undocumented, but immigrants who are here legally as well and I tell you now with all the utmost sincerity, that would be a terrible, terrible mistake that they would come to regret if they did that.

And don't even get me started on what this despot is likely cooking up in his syphilitic mind with Musk, Thiel, Miller, Bannon, Flynn, his grifter spawn, and the rest of that ghastly, greasy mafia syndicate on how to plunder our economy for their own self-interests.

But this is how it all starts folks.  These are just the early stage operations of 'cleansing' the country and Making America Great Again.  If you failed history studies, or haven't ever read a non-fiction history book or seen a historical documentary, you probably won't recall the somber, opening words of German Lutheran Pastor Niemoller's famous poem written at the close of World War 2 at a time when Germany and most of Europe lay in ruins and death, and millions of innocent humans had perished at the hands of a madman and his fanatical apparatchiks.  Read it:

When there's no one left to speak for you.  What will you do?  What will you do?

Don the Con and The Great Prison Escape

Well of course DonOld is going to order his goons to erase all of the evidence of his crimes.  That was one of his primary motivations for running for POTUS again, that and avoiding prison time and getting back in power to persecute his enemies.

Wake the fuck up America.  This guy is not a decent human being and he is not a good American and he is only going to bring misery and suffering upon this nation - guaranteed.
