"A fascist is a person who supports or practices fascism, a far-right, authoritarian political ideology emphasizing extreme nationalism, a strong centralized government led by a dictator, militarism, suppression of opposition, and the nation's interests above the individual's. Fascist movements prioritize national unity, often through racial or cultural purity, reject democracy and liberalism, and use propaganda and control to enforce conformity, historically leading to totalitarian states like Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany. "
you, us....versus them.... as i'm seeing in recent special elections, most independents are smart enough to see what trump is all about and to stand up and make amends for voting for trump TWICE..... the pathetic democrats who stood out the last election rather than vote for a super smart woman of color, are hopefully feeling realllllly guilty about what they did(n't) do in 2024 and are standing up and want to make amends.... the vast majority of republicans are still voting trump-repugnican....
there will not be a massive blue and white wave to wash away the red....the congress is scared of the dictator.... these red people are complicit in their silence....and the red voters are in agreement with his policies...
we now have a putin-style-rubber-stamp-congress and a putin-style-supreme-court-that favors a Dictators-Constitution over our beloved People's-Constitution.
our opposition politicians (excluding a few who are finally finding their voice) are mute and pathetically scared of trump. WTF do we have 'representatives of the people for'? How many of them are out on the streets with 'the people' – or do they prefer to hide in their very comfortable ivory towers? how many of them are organizing demonstrations in their towns and cities?
i am hoping that real american patriots fighting for our democracy are blasting their representatives for being fickle, scared, and totally useless in this fight to regain our democracy.
please people - keep sending them (members of congress) messages, be blunt, tell them to stop waiting for the mid-term elections, they have to be more adamant, aggressive, and visible...or else they need to get the F**K out of the way.
KEEP IN MIND, TRUMP AND HIS RADICAL VIEWS OF HOW TO RUN GOVERNMENT AND (HIS LIES) ABOUT DOING THINGS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS, IS WHAT PEOPLE LIKED AND VOTED FOR (no matter how misguided they were, how truly racist and sexist they are, or how lobotomized they became by drinking the trump koolaid).... WHAT RADICAL NEW IDEAS HAVE THE DEMOCRATS COME UP WITH LATELY????
we, our democracy, and the free world, cannot wait...SO DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!
RESIST. VIVA LA RESISTENCIA. VIVE LA RESISTANCE, SAMUD.
I'm proudly Antifa... and yes, he's a demented, narcissistic puppet being controlled by true fascists, so it's correct to call him a fascist. Full stop.
Guess I’m on the list. That’s ok. My father served in WWII because he, and our government, for that matter, were STRONGLY ANTI-FASCIST. I’m following in my father’s footsteps. He would be very unhappy that a fascist was actually able to take over our country by being ELECTED!
I knew the minute that he changed the terminology from Leftist lunatics to terrorist. I immediately thought by him doing us we could now be officially on a watchlist. Then I looked up the implications regarding prosecution of a terrorist. The punishment is indefinite prison time and even death. Bingo. They can make up any false charges they want to against you. Let that sink in.
Personally, being involved in the resistance, I will be careful, but I will still exercise my right for free speech. We cannot let the government silence us. We MUST RESIST at every turn. Be VIGILANT but stay in the fight..
They will have a fight from the courts including SCROTUS which must uphold our right to free speech. Once they successfully take away our first amendment rights by using their second amendment rights it’s game over.
I agree Mike. We need resistance more than ever. They’re hell bent on silencing us. Make our voices heard before they silence us forever 😔. It’s NOT happenin.
EVEN WHEN I'M NOT SPEAKING (just at the supermarket or post office etc) I WEAR MY SPEECH ON MY CLOTHING....SHIRTS, SWEAT SHIRTS, CAPS, WITH LOUD MESSAGES ANTI DICTATOR TRUMP.... i will not be quiet and i will not let fear silence me, because this is not just about me....it's about millions of me....
i post pics on my substack from time to time if you want to scroll through it, but there are also great 'value statements' for those of us pro democracy/anti dictator people to wear... at etsy, cafe press, allriot.com, adam kinzingers 'wear it out' store and soooo many more...wear a button on your winter jacket...do anything to stand up and stand out while our representatives are cowering...and by wearing something like this, you'll make other feel 'less alone'.....
it's up to us to hear the words of the great human rights and ANTIFAscist activists bob marley and peter tosh who sang
GET UP. STAND UP. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT. GET UP. STAND UP. DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT..
Ohh yea Ajay!! I’m know to have signage. Ohh yess! I wear Resistance Tshirts whenever I go out! I’m making known exactly how I feel in my fashion statements. 😁. So good for us and all the others that practice it. 👍 btw.. heads up caz Nick Paro is starting to make all this great stuff. Banners, stickers, flags! My fav is DONT SURVAIL ON ME. 🤣😍
I hope the teenie weenie, weak, pathetic, little FASCIST Does. I hope he arrests me and puts me in prison. 3 hots and a cot. Free meals, medical, and entertainment. And if lucky an early death. Beats what I'm facing with all his RIDICULOUS NAZI BS! Come and get me TACO!
I thought I would add to this a list of how to identify fascism:
The twelve early warning signs of fascism include powerful nationalism, disdain for human rights, identification of enemies as a unifying cause, rampant sexism, controlled mass media, obsession with national security, intertwined religion and government, protection of corporate power, suppression of labor power, disdain for intellectuals and the arts, obsession with crime and punishment, and rampant cronyism and corruption.
OK. I won't call him a fascist. Mussolini was a fascist. Trump is a megalomaniacal narcissistic wanna-be dictator. But I'm sure that bit of free speech still puts me in the same category as the domestic terrorist who blew up the FBI building in Oklahoma City, so I'll pack my prison bag and wait for Kash Patel to show up at my door today.
I meant to add CO, NM, and maybe AZ. Also MI and MN. NE goes south to DC. The reds have accepted their receipt of excessive federal tax like the welfare queens that they are for far too long.
i don't know how it will all unfold but the definite options are Western America (CA?OR?WA) and North Eastern America (NJ all the way to ME) these will both be powerhouse economies and powerhouse democracies. the other states may have a more difficult time, but they'll get there in the end.... some people may just have to make the tough decision to move from red-rage-dumbass-land to the brilliance of blue-land. it's a tough choice, but one we consciously made to be in CA and WA.
I must be nearing the top of the list what with sending postcards to HAM and his enablers and being arrested for blocking access to the Portland Oregon ICE compound.
So, it seems self-evident that Congress will NOT push back. Does that mean game over for democracy and freedom of speech and thought? I'm definitely heartened by the comments that have responded to your post! Thank you for your work!
everyone must contact their congressional representatives and ask them to get off their fat asses and do their job of representing us….and joining us on the streets as we rally against dictator trump and his fascist regime….....
thank you for all you do Miles..... i am one of those ANTIFAscists, all my friends are ANTIFAscist, my father was ANTIFAscist by fighting for democracy in WW2, my mother was ANTIFAscist by supporting the womens activities at home to help the men fighting the nazi fascists. I am the son of an ANTIFAscist, and will allways be ANTIFAscist because my father taught me that being ANTIFAscist is a good, moral, human (american) value, but.... being a fascist was against all moral decency and values of democratic people.
so people....we gotta GET UP. STAND UP. STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHT. GET UP. STAND UP. DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT. Bob marley and peter tosh....definite ANTIFAscist people :)
Maybe, if they don't want to be called fascists, they should stop acting like fascists. Trying to kill free speech. Threatening and terrorizing people, with masked ice agents dragging and arresting people off our streets, because of the color of their skin. Deporting immigrants to death camps in El Salvador. Extra- judicial killing of drug runners off the coast of Venezuela. Blanket pardoning of violent Jan 6th terrorists and the convicted drug smuggling ex- president of Honduras. Just Maybe!

Remember what we’re standing for. FREEDOM.

we can no longer rely on or trust SCOTUS

Trump is a fascist, for sure. His whole Antifa campaign is to quell our Constitutional right to free speech. I always stand up to bullies.
Yes Dawn, well said. 🌹
Well...this is what FASCISTS do.
I thought I would add to this a list of how to identify fascism:

VIVA RESISTANCE!
It may bear consideration to have states separate amicably. Norteastern and western states could
Maine here and I approve.
I meant to add CO, NM, and maybe AZ. Also MI and MN. NE goes south to DC. The reds have accepted their receipt of excessive federal tax like the welfare queens that they are for far too long.
i don't know how it will all unfold but the definite options are Western America (CA?OR?WA) and North Eastern America (NJ all the way to ME) these will both be powerhouse economies and powerhouse democracies. the other states may have a more difficult time, but they'll get there in the end.... some people may just have to make the tough decision to move from red-rage-dumbass-land to the brilliance of blue-land. it's a tough choice, but one we consciously made to be in CA and WA.
Thank you for sharing this information ℹ️ It can’t be said enough. 👍
I must be nearing the top of the list what with sending postcards to HAM and his enablers and being arrested for blocking access to the Portland Oregon ICE compound.
Thank you for your service as a true patriot of a democratic nation!
So, it seems self-evident that Congress will NOT push back. Does that mean game over for democracy and freedom of speech and thought? I'm definitely heartened by the comments that have responded to your post! Thank you for your work!

Thank you Miles. Yes, I have done that. I've also said that this regime is a terrorist organization!
I've been calling this out for a long time, and telling others to speak out about it.
Maybe, if they don't want to be called fascists, they should stop acting like fascists. Trying to kill free speech. Threatening and terrorizing people, with masked ice agents dragging and arresting people off our streets, because of the color of their skin. Deporting immigrants to death camps in El Salvador.

So if the surveillance network is turned inward, what are the odds outward threats succeed?
