POST 1146
You know about the tsunami of Trump’s attacks on our government and our Constitution. His is a multi-pronged assault designed to destroy everything we care about, to “tear it all down.”
Vague policy explanations of the reasons to oppose and abhor this danger are insufficient to convey the urgency. This needs to be expressed in “This is how it affects you” terms. Heather Cox Richardson has crafted that for you in an easy to understand, if painful to read, explanation.
So, this post is essentially hers. Read her essay. Take your time and feel the enormous drive to fascism that is advancing and taking everything away from us. You’ll see that Trump and his billionaire suck-ups are working to make this country into a monster, the likes of which we have fought against in hot wars and in a decades long cold war. This cadre of self-serving oligarchs is creating exactly what your values say are evil and un-American.
Project 2025 is the playbook Trump denied knowing about but he is following it to the letter. You can read a full, Mein Kampf-worthy version here. If instead you want a translation into truthful English of this manifesto for the destruction of our country, the ACLU has that for you.
This war on America is complex and difficult to stop. There are many brave people already fighting it, but there is no assurance that truth, justice and the American way will prevail.
Our standing on the sidelines watching others carry the fight is a losing strategy. Waiting for disaster to befall us before doing our part is nothing less than conceding defeat in advance.
Go read Richardson’s piece right now. Then get in the fight.
REBEL!

One Response to Un-American – Extra Urgent!
Jim Altschuler February 3, 2025
“I think” I’m rather terrified of the draconian changes being made within Our government, in our international relationships, in the treatment of our legal citizens, in the treatment of those who want to live here because of the terrible conditions where they came from. Most of all I’m scared to death that Fascists and idiots and joiners, wannabe groups and individuals are gutting our laws, our law enforcement (especially attorneys general and FBI leadership) at the cost of our lives. It’s not just the food costs which we all know have become nearly impossible to afford, but the manufactured products we might want or need to buy (think especially medical supplies and equipment).
