Trump’s Authoritarianism and Fascism
Some great info here. Breaks everything down.
Fascism is a powerful and controversial term. It should be used very sparingly and only when clearly appropriate. Many people think of fascism in relation to established dictators, brutal political censorship, or mass murders. Those have been common expressions of fascism historically, but it takes other less monstrous forms as well. For example, one central aspect of fascism reveals itself when a leader or a political movement consistently exercises tendencies that aim to stamp out democratic institutions and punish their critics. Over a period of many years, Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he merits the description entailed in the full meaning of this word, including many other specific elements, as shown below. Keep in mind his hostile reactions to any non-believers in Trumpism (his patterns of thought and behavior) and his effusive admiration toward recent authoritarian and fiercely anti-democratic leaders such as Muammar Gaddafi, Vladimir Putin, Saddam Hussein, Kim…

Nacho your President
With the election of Donald Trump aka Cheeto Jesus, this has been a really crappy week in the United States. Never in my 57 years on this planet, have I seen the fear among our citizens from this monster. He’s already tapped his children to be on his transition team. He wants to surround himself with lobbyists, which is a really, really bad thing. Nothing good will come from this president.
People have been protesting all over the country. I can barely wrap my head around the fact this racist, sexist, infantile pig is now the leader of the free world. How did we get here? I know many people felt as though they were being left behind. I believe that many in our country couldn’t stand the fact that a strong, highly capable woman was going to be in charge.
He got elected mainly by uneducated middle aged white men. He’s promised he will bring jobs back to the United States, yet has no plan. When our current president wanted to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, he was shot down by the controlling house and senate. Never mind that it would have created millions of job, but a black man was asking them to do this for their country, and they declined. President Barack Obama has been the best president we have had in my lifetime.
Now we have a loud, brutish, man child with no experience, and a tendency to get into Twitter wars with people at 3 am. I, like so many of my fellow Americans are truly afraid of what a Trump America will be like. We are already seeing the hate towards anyone who doesn’t look like him right before our eyes.
When Adolph Hitler gained control of Germany in the 1930’s, propaganda was his best ally. He was able to keep many of his atrocities hidden from the German people. But we have a 24 hour news cycle now, we all know exactly who and what Donald Trump is. So how in the hell did he get elected?
Many Americans want to blame Obama for their sad lot in life. What they fail to realize is that the Republicans consistently blocked everything our president was trying to do. It’s amazing he was able to accomplish what he did these past 8 years.
Now we have a nimrod who denies climate change, wants to limit women’s rights, deport all sort of nationalities, get rid of Obama care, build a wall and be king.
This all just makes me want to suck down a can of whipped cream, eat a big plate of nachos, and call it a day.
Aaron Sorkin Letter to his daughter
This letter by American Aaron Sorkin, an Oscar winning screenwriter, to his 15 year old daughter, sums up how many Americans felt about this election. Vanity Fair is a mainstream publication, no Fox News bullshit.

Good News! I won’t be getting murdered in my sleep! Woo Hoo!
Much to me and my husband’s chagrin, our only child has come out as a Republican. This has been a recent occurrence, and was quite troubling. He’s known his whole life that his dad and I are Democrats. He’s a teenager, (and can’t vote yet) so this could just be a phase he’s going through.
Well today is the presidential election here in the United States, and the campaign has been long and very ugly. My family in Indiana has appeared to divorce me, well, they are a bunch of racists rednecks anyway. I can talk to my relatives and not talk politics, they can’t seem to separate the fact that a. I’m their sister, b. I’m a proud Democrat. Quite sad, and their loss anyway.
The good news? I asked my son if Trump didn’t win would he murder me in my sleep? He said no, and I was very glad. I will sleep better tonight, knowing that my only son isn’t going to kill me, and hopefully Hillary Clinton wins.
