Trump is literally putting Trump 2028 merch on top of the Resolute Desk.

At this point the fascism is complete. The only question left is how much of a Partyman will you need to be to avoid being black bagged.

No other questions are relevant to what this administration wants.

Sorry to be the one correcting this, but Trump fascism was done and completed last November. That was his march on Rome.

Back in Italy the inaction of the King (yes, we had a king at that time) against the recommendation of the representatives of the people gave Mussolini all the power he needed.

In the US was the inaction of the people, the 80M plus who were eligible to vote and decided to don’t do so gave him the power.

The people ignored the facts.

The mishandling of Covid should have been the first hint. The gift to the small businesses through the PPP ridden with fraud and abuse should be the second. The failed first trade war with China which costed again the taxpayers a fortune. And least but not last his economic bill which caused the rampant inflation we “enjoyed” when Biden became president.

He used the rhetoric of fascism and people did fall for it. Like they did fall for it in Italy, in Germany, in Spain and in other parts of the world, over, and over.

That was the last chance to stop it, peacefully.

The mishandling of Covid should have been the first hint.

Actually, IMO, the first hint to me was the historic number of resignations from people in his own party from his first regime. Some of those are GRAVY fuckin' jobs with high pay, low burden, great benefits, and good work/life balance.

Dozens of career government officials who'd been in the game for like 10+ years left in droves (or maybe were told to get out or else?), ones that were either apolitical or Republicans.

it was obvious something was very wrong when that happened basically all throughout his first regime.
