We Aren't Marching Towards Fascism. We're There.
We're in full-blown fascism with the convicted felon taking control of Washington DC's Metropolitan Police Department.
Forgive me for the delay in sending this out as I was out of town for the last few days.
It’s safe to say that we are no longer marching towards fascism. We’re there. We cannot stay silent about it at any costs as this is a five-alarm fire.
There is no reason on earth for the racist convicted felon to be deploying the National Guard in the nation’s capital. Washington, D.C.’s crime rate is at a 30-year-low so the argument that it’s one of the most dangerous cities feels rather moot. It’s nothing more than another fascist authoritarian move and we shouldn’t be standing for it.
And then there’s this awful nugget:
The president also said that he would declare a public safety emergency in D.C. and that Attorney General Pam Bondi would "take command of the Metropolitan Police Department as of this moment."
Again, there’s no reason for this nonsense. It’s fascism at its worst. Beyond that, he refused to deploy the DC National Guard on January 6 when the insurrection was taking place. If you’re going to deploy the National Guard, why not deploy it during an attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. Oh, right, because he incited said attack and thanks to a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, they let him get away with it under presidential immunity.
Bondi, who Trump said will helm D.C. police, declared that crime would end in D.C.
"Let me be crystal clear: Crime in D.C. is ending and ending today," she said.
Oh, really? Well, maybe take a look at the occupant in the Oval Office. G-d only knows just how many laws he’s actively breaking while tearing up the U.S. Constitution. He’s shown us who he is and Americans need to stand up.
G-d help us all.
