What are we to make of a Democratic Party that has embraces an election strategy that includes demobilizing the majority working-class non-Republican electorate; legitimizing right-wing agendas and narratives; seeks bipartisan cooperation with right-wing politicians such as Liz Cheney; refuses to attack archaic minority rule institutions including the Electoral College and the Senate filibuster; repeatedly backs down from hauling Donald Trump into court and funds far-right Republican candidates in this year’s primary elections, repeating the disastrous Hillary Clinton campaign’s “Pied Piper” ploy of promoting the supposedly “more beatable” Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries?

The warning signs for a fascist crackdown in America have been here for years, if not decades. It’s now that they’ve become too big for much of this country’s complacent left to ignore. We’re accelerating towards a level of direness which people living under fascism so often can’t perceive at first, until the reality of their situation has finished creeping up onto them. By George Jackson’s definition of fascism, which is when capitalism forcibly maintains itself through reform, we’ve already been living under fascism for generations. With the Supreme Court’s decision and its ramifications, this is becoming more visible to more people.

The overturning of the landmark Roe v Wade case providing federal protection for a woman’s right to choose is both appalling and enraging.

Christian conservative Ronald Paul co… Christian conservative Ronald Paul comes out swinging on C-SPAN, stating how Human Life begins at Conception, so it is only a matter of time now before we can start putting Planned Parenthood baby-killing employees on death row state by state, and start by putting Howard Dean’s wife on death row and get rid of that trash, and then grant a Presidential pardon to Eric Rudolph and let that American patriot rejoin society.
