1/ If our country were being invaded by foreign armies, we’d be throwing money at the Pentagon to help beat those forces back. But our country is being invaded by something more dangerous than that. We’ve been invaded by a consciousness of fascism.

2/ Fascism is the opposite of a free, democratic, self-governing society. It is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

3/ Fascism in America is an assault on the very core of who we are as a nation. It is so much bigger than the insanity of just one man. How it emerged will be studied for many years into the future, but the role of our generation is to stand up to it right now.

4/ God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her & guide her through the night with a Light from above. That light is rising in the hearts of millions during this night of chaos. The night will pass & one day you will tell your story: “I was there and I did what I could.”

And now we have to chose. Is it easier to fight fascism or is it easier to fight neoliberalism? Do we want a rapid collapse or a slow motion collapse? Will 12 - 16 years of neoliberalism give us a more competent, viscous Trump down the road? No good choices here. Stressed.

Donald Trump was elected via a Corporate Coup, per Chris Hedges, author of Fascism in the Age of Trump. Trump appointed Corporate Multimillionaires to head all of his top Cabinet Positions : A Corporate Takeover of our Government. FASCISM=GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS COMBINED.

Until one can step out of the box that is the European model of Left and Right and get back to the American intent one will continue to be lost and a total threat to freedom. The Euro model features near or total government, one left and one right. Americas made4 less government
