Your America is not my America. If you did not grow up during the time when our nation and the world experienced the greatest number of changes in history, you have no idea about what has happened over the last seven decades. If you ignore history, and science, you are members of the uninformed who learn everything they need to know from television. There’s a reason it is known as “the boob tube.”

Groups I trusted and respected when I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s no longer exist. While most democratic nations have moved forward, the United States continues to move backwards.

IN JUST ONE YEAR, AMERICA HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A FASCIST STATE

I have been ranting about Trump and his fascist plans for America for 10 years. I guess that most Americans have no idea of what fascism involves. Here’s a little information for the uninformed

Fascism: “a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.”

“At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation.”

Sound familiar?

FASCISM IS NOT NEW IN AMERICA

Before the beginning of WWII, and during, the American Fascist Party grew in numbers. Although we call them “Neo-Nazis” today, their roots are from the same people who hated America in the 1940’s and continue to reveal their loyalty to Hitler and Putin today.

The definition of fascism confirms that many right-wing extremist groups have existed in America since its inception.

Both military and law enforcement are founded on fascist ideals. Religious leaders use fascist techniques to control their followers. Large corporations do the same. Under Trump’s reign of terror, all three branches of our government are controlled by fascists.

The right-wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, is composed of statements and promises made by Trump during his hate rallies since 2015. It’s 922 pages contain plans and ideas intended to end democracy forever and establish a plutocracy controlled by a fascist regime.

I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO ASK THIS QUESTION: ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILLING TO SURRENDER THEIR FREEDOMS TO A CRUEL FASCIST DICTATOR?

The fact that Trump was the only candidate supported by today’s Republican Party in name only in three consecutive elections, is a tale of greed, ambition, and betrayal.

The 2020 election was nort a show of support for Joe Biden as much as it was a statement confirming the rejection of Trump and his plans to destroy our country. He was then, and is now, the most hated man in the world. He has earned that consensus.

Although facts prove that the 2024 election was rigged for Trump, by the same person and country which decided the outcome of the 2016 election, millions of voters in non-swing states voted for the worst man in the world.

Are American values and principles no longer important to millions of men and women who were born in this country?. Why have they surrendered their rights and privileges to an old, obese, fool who has no interest in the future of all 340 million American people? What has Trump given them? His campaign promises in both elections were nothing more than lies. He is mentally unstable and lacks the intelligence to make wise decisions which might offer hope for every American’s quality of life in the future.

NO LONGER IS THE “REAL DONALD TRUMP A SECRET

The world knows Donald Trump. He is a lifelong criminal, a convicted felon, a sexual predator, a sexual deviate, and a pedophile. His loyalty is to Vladimir Putin, not to you or me. He is not only a narcissist, he is afflicted with malignant narcissism which was diagnosed by 25 reputable psychiatrists in 2017.

Malignant Narcissism: “an extreme, severe form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) combined with antisocial personality disorderparanoia, and sadism. They are characterized by a total lack of empathy, a profound sense of entitlement, and a tendency to manipulate, control, and actively harm others for enjoyment or gain. Unlike average narcissists, malignant narcissists are often abusive and exhibit “dark” personality traits.”

This is the most accurate description of Donald Trump available.
