[h=2]Fascism for Sissies[/h] January 30, 2017
Few would dispute that the spoiled, flabby old trump is a pussy. If they try, I prove them wrong here: <https://meanliberal.blog/2017/01/16/trump-is-a-pussy/ >What is often overlooked, however, is that in order for a pussy like trump to rise, he needs a large herd of sissies behind him, not to mention more herds of scapegoats to feed his sissies. That settled I want to say that I am not so much distressed that trump is an egomaniacal old punk who is hoping to create a cult of personality to appease his insatiable need for self-gratification. Bitches like trump are common. I am concerned with the large number of trembling wimps who see him as their savior.
When I was a kid, I read all I could get my hands on about Hitler. I was fascinated at how a supposedly civilized people could have followed such a plainly evil leader. Now, trump is no Hitler, but that’s not from a lack of desire. Fortunately for us the aged brat lacks the self-discipline and drive to fulfill his fantasies. The point is that I knew the Germans were suffering after WWI. I knew that for many of them cooking a potato over a fire on a street corner might be the day’s meal. I knew they were humiliated after losing a war. I knew there was political chaos to the point of common street fighting. I knew they were desperate. But still, how could they be so desperate as to follow a Hitler? Surely, that could never happen here.
Imagine my confusion, then, at seeing fascism appealing to so many Americans, people living in a rich nation with security and comforts few other nations can offer. At a time of historically low taxes, we hear constant crybabying about people having to pay so much less than their parents and grandparents paid with much less whimpering. People are trembling in fear of a threat of radical Islamic terrorism, although we have suffered much less violence, MUCH LESS VIOLENCE, than we have sponsored. And, we have been victimized by terrorism much less than have many other nations. The only thing I can conclude is that America is being overrun by wimps. Wimpism is becoming the essential America value.
Okay, about now you are shaking your head and muttering, “Another hysterical liberal is doing silly Hitler analogies.” First, and again, I am not comparing trump to Hitler. I am comparing those who follow and support trump to those who followed and supported Adolf. Too much? Let’s take a look.
Fascism is characterized by having an authoritarian leader, by extreme nationalism, and by strident militarism. Authoritarian leader? trump’s suckers fell in love with him primarily because they loved the way he bullied others, or tried to. Rather than being appalled by his crudity, they were thrilled at his vulgarity. These people are such weenies they saw the blowhard as a strong-man leader. Chauvinistic nationalism? Chants of “Lock her up!” were always accompanied by “USA! USA!” These are people who go apoplectic over whether proper patriotic rituals are followed at the National Anthem, which must be played at every sporting event, and gawd help a quarterback who doesn’t stand for it. Militaristic? Check the Kim Jong-un style of weapon display at the more important sporting events. Oh, and we are living now in a time when if one talks about the military or even to or about an individual soldier, anything said must be accompanied with some statement of gratitude “for your/their service.” This statement has become like “God bless you” or “Gesundheit” after someone sneezes. This is done partly because so few of us serve in the military any more and saying the words is a form of self-absolution. We do it in lieu of service. But, largely this is done among trumpies out of a love of military in the abstract. They love the military from safety.
Finally, with trumpies we go from simple fascism to Nazi wannabes. The Kluckers recognized trump for what he is and love him for it. American Nazis are absolutely giddy. The fact that Steve Bannon is in the innermost circle of power in the United Goddam States of America blows my flabbergasted mind. Whether or not trump is actually a bigot is irrelevant to my point. It is indisputable that he has exploited every racist scapegoat in creation. Yes, using racial scapegoats is nothing new for the Regressives, at least since Southern Strategy used by Goldwater and Nixon. St. Raygun rode to the White House in a “Welfare Cadillac.” Now, under trump they are offering Mexican and Muslim scapegoats from their growing herds to those in need of someone to look down on and blame for their inadequacies.
Wimps. On the one hand, I finally get to see my ancient curiosity regarding the attraction of evil played out for me. The bad news is that seeing so many relatively pampered people succumb to the same ugliness so very easily means that for the first time in my fairly long life I am embarrassed to be an American. I am not satisfied that trump only got a minority of the vote. He got too damn many votes. There is no excuse for it. It could only happen in a nation where too many people are too selfish and too easily frightened. It could only happen in a nation that is being overrun by sissies. Land of the free, home of the wimps. Thank you for your service.
