Read through and commentary on: 20 Reasons Why Fascism May Not Succeed in the United States: Some Perspectives.

I saw this article and thought I'd do a read along since I found the title fascinating, will be commenting as I read

Intro

Article starts out strong setting up rules

"Not going to blame anyone" nope, that's stupid. Biden is to blame, as are High Road Dimocraps. Not a good start PitsburghLiberal

"Second, we must acknowledge that there are significant portions of American society that are not hyper-radicalized fascists, yet do not understand the danger of fascism in the way that we understand it." On this, we are totally agreed. Whole lotta stupid people out there.

The Reasons

"The United States is much more racially/ethnically diverse than was Germany, making the isolation and persecution of minorities more challenging." Hard disagree on this one, Racist Latino Males are now a thing and a number of Black and Asian males are joining the Nazi train. Diversity is not a defense against Fascism.

"Major civil liberties are codified in the Bill of Rights, supported by centuries of case law.". Medium disagree. This matters for the military which Trump will need the coorpation of, but since his election was legitimate (at least the Biden and Harris surrender machine certainly leant that) he can replace any officer that doesnt obey immediately, so while he can't go to Phase 3 right away, he will get there in time.

"The Federal system greatly increases the likelihood of institutionalized resistance at the state level and allows for the creation of practical, alternative paths forward.". Agree and Disagree. On paper, this is a hard agree, the system as designed has incredible defense mechanisms. Oto, the President has the trifecta and total immunity and is insane, so this isnt the shield you think it is.

"Unlike Germany, Italy, Russia, or Hungary, the United States has a well established democratic tradition." Disagree. A tradition only matters as much as the next generation picks it up, and a lot of racist nazi Gen Z males bought into the Nazi Gravy. This DOES mean that unlike those other places, when resistance picks up steam it will be hot and heavy and much more violent than in places without it. But oops, US Military and FBI will crush with extreme prejudice.

"The United States has living, credible former presidents and senior leaders. Individually and collectively, they have considerable experience, talent, and communication skills.". BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA Oh my sweet summer child. Their eloquence won't matter if they are in camps. Unless they flee, and they are all to arrogant to do so, they wont be a voice of a government in exile. And their words wont matter to Nazis.

"We have a large, well-organized, and well-financed opposition." Hard Agree. BUT, the FBI, IRS, CIA etc are exceptional at tearing apart the financila structure of enemies of the state and once we go to Phase 2, these instruments will tear #Resistance to shreds unless they take time to harden it....see above to notice the disconnect from reality and hubris.

"Other major democracies are our allies; the revanchism and irredentist motivations present in Weimar Germany are not present here." BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH Except for facepalms and shocked pikachu faces our "allies" will be working with the Regime not against hoping to keep that money flowing and that military on standby against Russia. And that wont go well for them.

"Modern technology makes it easier to capture and share abuses of power." Yes and no. Yes, we will have the most documented genocide in history, but the PREVIOUS most documented genocide in history; was covered up and countered by a sophisticated multistate multiinsttuion and multi party aparatus. Gaza has shown us that this aparatus can and will be used to suppress an American resistance movement.

"Trump is old, stupid, and in severe cognitive decline." Total, 100 PERCENT agree with this one. This is our greatest hope right now. He is stupider by orders of magnitude than homelander.

"Demographically, the US is becoming less white and less religious" Reference Racist Latino Males. Diversity will not save us from fascism.

"Trump’s policies will be economically ruinous for people and companies alike". If the Leader didnt control ALL levels of power, have the trifecta and the media machine he does, I might agree. He does and there will never be another free election in this country.

"We have experience with Trump and the authoritarian playbook". They LITERALLY GAVE us the playbook in Project 2025 and Nazi America voted for him anyway. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

"Many major, and popular, celebrities oppose Trump, and jailing or murdering them would be politically untenable" BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA This is the dumbest thing I have heard anyone say in a long time. Reference Nazi Germany.

"Trump personally has no ambitions beyond himself; he’s not an ideologue or a self-styled “thinker”". This is stupid. He is surrounded by those who are; and while there will be some fight for which voice he listens to, there are plenty whispering in his ear.

"The GOP often devolves into disorganization and infighting." Hard Agree. If Vance kills or 25th Trump, then he cannot hold the American Nazi Party together and they will fight like the Rat Nazis they are.

"Even though the media has largely failed to rise to the occasion, there are many serious journalists in this country.". This is true. Then again, the Hindenburg had plenty of media coverage.

"If Trump dies or is incapacitated, his successor is unlikely to have the same cachet and party support." Hard Agree and our best hope.

"The military is largely independent and apolitical at the command level, and the rank and file is often nonwhite." For now. For now. Not for long. Also reference Racist Latino Males and Nazi African American Males.

"We are facing neither a credible external or internal threat for fascists to use as a foil.". They have big if warped imaginations. There will always be an other and they will make up one from whole cloth if need be.

"The writings of the founding fathers and our national heroes are at direct odds with Trump;" Truth didnt matter to the nazis that voted him in, why in the name of all that is fucking holy would you expect it to matter now

Analysis

What a fucking waste of time that was. If Trump dies, the regime implodes. Thats it. And thats not much to hope for. Make your plans now, while you can.

New Dynamic W the Dems

The argument that horrific things will happen if I dont vote blue is now a failed one. It is costing me and mine too much; including family ties. Here.

How to Hide

In order of Priority

Cease all contact of any kind from Maga in your life. I'm not talking conservative, I mean hostile nazi Trumper. If they are full Q Rat Nazi then they are looking for reasons to report you. I have one in my life and wont be talking to them any time soon. I already know they monitor this blog and my poetry. Its one of the reasons that staying and fighting isnt an option; I lost the genetic lottery by being related to full functioning nazis.

Delete ALL your social media. Do it NOW. Mark is full Nazi and will keep it. Musk is full nazi and will keep it but if you delete it NOW, then the anti Trump meme you shared 9 years ago might not be accidently found by a Nazi Jan 21rst 2025. Reduce your internet footprint as much as you can.

Join the Nazi Republican Party. Look, if you are going to hide, do it right and while you might feel like you are coated in a thin layer of roach film having your name affiliated with nazis, unless you are already on their (insert bad thing here) list or if you can PASS for (insert bad thing here) list, by joining the Nazi Republican Party, you can delay the treatment given to other (insert bad thing here) unless you are Trans or a publicly known Loser Democrat.

Join a church. I recommend the Mormon Church for three reasons. 1) They worship gubbamint and Trump will like being worshipped. Their prophet doesnt want to lose the $$$$ by speaking against nazis and so all majority LDS states went for him. 2) Unlike Evangelicals, Catholics or other churches; Mormons actually DO help other mormons, but you will need to pay 10% of your income or at least enough to lie about, lying to nazi or nazi adjacent religions is OK 3)Its insanely easy to join and might protect you some from Nazi

Move to a Red State. Blue states will be Resisting. People who openly Resist will Die and anyone around them while Resisting that occurs will die.

Move to a suburban area, ideally exurban. As long as you dont have children who are stupid enough to say you arent nazis in school, or displaying Harris signs openly, blending in among your nazi or nazi adjacent neighboors may reduce your being targeted if you are able to pass as not (Insert Bad Thing Here).

Pay your taxes. Do not get on the government's radar in any way shape or form. The government is now Nazis.

Camoflauge your vehicle and house with pro cop and pro Leader imagery and bumperstickers. You want to make Nazi attention go as far from you as possible

Donate periodically to the Republican Nazi Party, join Truth Social, Buy Stock in the Leader's Company. Stay at a hotel owned by the Leader at least once a year.

Educate your children to praise the leader at all times; punish your children for speaking in public about democracy or freedom (unless its the freedom to kill Democraps)

The Four Phases of Modern Fascism and Trump

In my observation of governments that go down the fascism path, there are four phases and I want talk about them so you can understand how things will go down, and what and when the risks are.

Phase 0

Regular Governments have Rule of Law and tend to stabilize after 30-40 years. Even states that arent really free, but somewhat stable (like Thailand) fall into this category. There are rules, even if unspoken ones and a legitimate non governmental society.

Phase 1 - The One Party State

Most illiberal democracies fall into this path and there is still quite a bit of variety between them. China, pre Xi as well as Turkey and Hungary both fall here. Turkey and Hungary still have rules, though Turkey has much stronger traditions than Hungary, and Turkey even survived a coup. The biggest indicator of whether a state is Phase 0 vs Phase 1 is typically restrictions on the Press. Modi has made India somewhere between Phase 1 and Phase 0, whereas Orban and Edrogan have made their media behave like well trained dogs. The biggest difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 is the courts or centers of power away from the leader or factions within the party. Basically, can ANYONE, even from the party itself tell the Leader no, and in Turkey and Hungary the answer is still yes even if it must be done in back channels.

Phase 2 - The Dictatorship

The difference between a Phase 2 and Phase 3 fascist state is a subtle one, but usually it happens with weaker or saner dictators, and the dictator tends to run things in a coherent or stable fashion. He spends most of his time actually making things work or governing, rather than making things about him or stealing occurs but it is tastefully kept in the shadows. China is here; the party revolves around Xi but Xi has not yet gone full Mao. Russia, prior to the Ukraine war, was here. No one dared challenge Putin but he still wanted to keep things on the down low, which is why he was pissed when Navalny exposed his theft of public funds. The main difference between Phase 2 and Phase 3 is how much push back the leader does for absconding funds for gold plated statues of themselves.

Phase 3 - Full Fascist State

The Leader begins to make the State about them. China under Mao reached this stage, with the little red book becoming the dominant and required reading material. Putin has now basically turned Russia into this out of paranoia and necessity. Dictators who are still sane tend to fall into this category, and ultimately this is where most of them want to be. Only Benevolent Dictators keep things in Phase 1 or Phase 2; and there are a few in history. Strong Kings also tended to keep things in Phase 1 or Phase 2. One of the primary reasons for this is, Civil War is more likely the farther down this track they fall, and if the leader makes things too much about them, then collapse tends to occure. North Korea is technically a 3, but has found a somewhat strange stability at 2.9 allowing the heir to exist in their shadow until ready to take over without being directly threatened by the heir.

Phase 4 - Full Turkmenistan

If you haven't heard about Turkmenistan, you can watch this video. I refer to this as the full Batshit phase. North Korea basically lives here, but manages to customize things in other ways. Countries that do this typically become the laughing stock of the world. Final Nazi Germany, the Khmer Rouge, Turkmenistan, Stalin's Russia, Nicolai Chauchesku etc all live here. Days of the week are renamed, executions happen by anti aircraft gun. Small docs are made illegal just because the leader can. The color white or the color red can be banned on principal. 1984, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland, ful on fucking madness.

So how fast will America be destroyed? This is subjective opinion but here is my progostication.

America is Phase 0 until Jan 20th. Technically, we crossed into Phase 1 when the Rape Court allowed Virginia to illegally purge 1600 voters the night before the electoin, but singular anomolies don't make a full transition. The real transition will be when opposition media are silenced. This will likely happen within the first year, potentially the first month if Trump goes full Desanti which he has publicly threaened to do. Florida is DEFINITELY a Phase 1 territory but a Phase 0 overlord government like the EU for Orban or the federal government for Desanti can slow this down. There is no Phase 0 overlord government for the United States of Nazi America.

Phase 2 can happen any time Trump wants. Because Trump owns the Republican Party now, which basically means, the instant Trump WANTS to move to Phase 2, he can. No one in the Republican Party who didnt endorse Harris will be the slightest obstacle to the Orange Shitler, including the Rape Court, the House or the Senate. He also has full immunity for anything he does. It is inevitable that this stage will happen but it happens by default the instant he either outlaws the democrats or messes with an election or simply arrests political prisoners with no explantion of why simply beyond the fact that he can.

Phase 3 will initially happen as cultural tribute; we already see nazis doing this. When federal funds are openly directed towards statues of trump then we are approaching this. The Oklahoma Trump Bible is another example of this and when it goes federal then we know we're in Phase 3. Anything with Trump's face on it, or when we start seeing wholseale billions being directed towards Trump or even Musk or Thiel or Bezos, then we know we are here. Indeed, given that the electoral coup was orchestrated by billionares, we might skip Phase 1 and 2 and go straight to Phase 3.

What most Trump voters want is Phase 1 and laugh at the idea that we will get to Phase 2 or beyond. They naively believe that the constitution and American democratic tradition are so strong, that we can't possibly become a dictaroship because the constitution says it can't. They naively assume that because the American Republic is so old and formerly strong that it can't hapepn here. The only fringe benefit besides what I wrote about yesterday in enjoying the pain of Nazis is that the Entitlement from Birth that most Americans have is going to have a nice pin prick intheir balloon. Eurpeans are naturally skeptical of propganda and jingoism because of the two world wars and they and their parents and their grandparents grew up seeing the physical reminders of ruination that came from it. Disgusting and naive and indifferent Americans are going to get a taste of it; because even those who escape the whims and caprice of the Leader wont escape the inevitable civil war that will come when the Republic and Constitution are destroyed and there is no authority in government but force of will of the anemic and valueless Republican Party and the state of Trump for Trump by Trump.

Schadenfreude

I aint got a lot of pleasant truths for you people who arent Nazis....you're the underdog now, whereever you are. Fascism is the dominant government in or to be in most of the planet. And thats while life lasts, because international cooperation between fascist states is not a thing except against a common foe, so there will be no coordinated effort against Climate Change, but...BUT...NONE of the idiots who voted for Trump will get what they want. Let's investigate shall we?

Reasons why various Nazis voted for the Nazi:

Guns! Yeah Nazi, that isnt gonna work out. Nazi Germany, as you like to harp on about, took the guns. The Leader won't tolerate dissent; so Guns will be open and free during Phase I, but in Phase II all the people you hate won't have guns, and then EVERYONE who isnt the Party will not have guns and then in Phase 4, only the GOVERNMENT will have guns. Enjoy your guns while you got em, cause they wont last...unless you are a nazi that works for the government.

Abortion! Well good news bad news Nazi; the new broligarchs want white babies; so abortion will get more an more illegal. What you likely haven't thought about this, is that the new actual president to be (Tick tock) Elon Musk, has this little company that is making a neural imprint called the Neuralink which will let you control the internets with your mind. Cool, right? Well, about I guess...generation 5? MAYBE Generation 10, this thing is gonna work reliably to let you just think words to type to the internet? Cool right? WRONG Nazi, because in Generation 7-12, all the wrong people will have MANDATORY SURGERY so that the gubbamint can monitor the bad people thoughts, and sooner or later, unless you work for the gubbamint and then even those people will now get FREE Brain Surgery to get that planeted into their head. Remember your wittle Bible and the numba of the beast? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. You just voted for that Nazi! Enjoy the brain surgery!

Religion! You hate the gawdless commies, right? Well good news, you are gonna see a whole LOT more of God. All the wrong religions, which will start with Not Monotheism, and then become Not Judaism and Not Christianity will have LOTSA problems. Then if you are Jewish you are gonna be on the Bad List, then if you are Catholic or Mormon; then if you are Protestant but not Evangelical, then if you aren't Church of Trump. What Church of Trump? TDS! There is no such thing. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Just you wait Nazi! Enjoy Camping!

The Economy! You don't give a crap about all those social issues; you just want lower taxes and a lush economy. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Well all the economists that you hate who know more than you do said that every single one of Trump's economic policies will destroy the economy. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. But you know more than them right? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Enjoy being fired. Enjoy being treated like trash if you are unemployed. Enjoy there being no unemployment insurance because the states can get rid of them now. Enjoy having no health care because they will get rid of Obamacare and there IS no real plan to replace it. Enjoy being homeless. Enjoy being in a Camp. Hope you like Camping there, LOLOLOLOL Cause you're gonna be in a camp Nazi.

Everything! Well Nazi the good news is that unless the other folks, you knew what you wanted and you got it. You hate it all, the world has changed and you dont like it and will do WHATEVER it takes to make that happens. Now, of course, unless you kill yourself right now you are gonna be IN the world, and you wanna see it burn, right? We know you, you wanna SEE it burn, hell you might even light it. Well, you're gonna bake, from climate change, you're gonna get sick and die because RFK JR is gonna make vaccines illegal and be in charge of the CDC and doctors will flee this country in droves rather than be in that kind of scenario. And as the world gets warmer and Federal regulations are lost, your food will be poisned and as it become s more and more slop, you're gonna likely be reduced to eating Cochroach paste like on Snow Piercer. I look forward to YOUR fate most of all Nazi.

The Gays, The Trans, The Blacks, The Browns, The Asians! You hate the woke mind virus and you just want the (insert bad here) to suffer. Well Nazi, you will get what you want. All those people will suffer and more. (insert bad here) will suffer a lot. Everyone will suffer. Fascism needs an other and as a highly diverse population, many victims will be included and that circle expand (insert bad here) for each Phase will make more and more people the Other, in camps, expelled, exterminated...and sooner or later, (insert bad here) will be...you. And when it is, I will smile Nazi, because you thought surely the Leopard would not eat YOUR face. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL So naive Nazi.

The Libs! You dont give a shit about the economy, you just hate the Woke Mind Virus. Well, blue states and libs will definitnely get to see their beloved gubbamint state, city and national taken apart at the seems and sold to the private sector broligarchs like the fall of the Soviet Union, and there will be breadlines and there will be starvation and ruin; and the Libs sure will suffer. But just like Its a Wonderful Life, Gubbamint touches parts of your life you havent considered. Roads, Schools, Medicaire, Medicaide, Social Security, National Parks, National Monuments, Student Loans, Home Loans..all of those things? All those are gone. Federal Highway Funds? Gone. If the gonverment touched it at all, including environmental and safety regulations, gone. You belong to a union? Gone. Even Police Unions wont be protected by the leader. Well paid? Yes. ALL Unions of any kind will be GONE as will all regulation to allow them to work. Like suing people? The judges work for the Leader. So unless you are the Party, you cant and wont sue. And in the Party? How senior are you?

If you are a woman Nazi....AHAHAHAHAAHA LOLOLOLOL

If you are a (insert bad here) NAzi.. BAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Yeah, you're on the list and dont even know it

Republican Politician or Conservative Journalist....LOLOLOLOLOOL What do you THINK happened to the Senators when the Emperor disolved the Senate? Or when the Leader decides he doesnt like what you say? LOLOLOLOOLOL

For the innocent who are going to suffer, I have empathy but if you are a Nazi? I smile and wink. You get what you voted for.

Dear MVP

Dear MVP

Thank you. Thank you for giving it your best shot. Thank you for doing your best and in some better timeline becoming the next and first Female President of The United States.

I write now because there is a lot to think about, but for you and your family I beg you to run. You are a fighter, so the urge is to fight. The government in exile will need a leader when the coup inevitably comes; and it will come. Regardless of when that happens, you and your family will be targets Day 1. Listen to no one who tells you otherwise.

I recommend the UK. They are english speaking, have a Labour government and cannot be threatened by our military or nuclear capacity given their own deterrence capabilities; there or France.

God speed Madame Vice President.
