The Fall into Fascism

Whether Americans want to admit it or not, the fact is that once again the US is flirting with Fascism. What do I mean by again? Well it happened once before back in the 1930’s. At that time another European leader was building his military forces and annexing lands from his neighbors all in the name of re-establishing their rightful owners and preservation of the white race.

Even with this rhetoric against minorities and certain religions, people flocked to his words, sounding like the Messiah that would resurrect the country from the global cabal against them instituted by a great conspiracy of power brokers and financiers. Those who were not desirable were poisoning the blood of the nation and those opposed the leader’s  power were vermin and the cause of all the countries ills.

This leader and his supporter exported his message to America. A country at the time that was still in the throes of the depression and the people suffered from economic stagnation. Some in America saw what was going on in Europe and decided that they too should go down that path. The ideas of protectionism, isolationism and even alliance with the European power were bantered about. The President Franklin Roosevelt was a puppet, a communist, a far left thinker wanting to subvert rights and take over the country to this American group. They needed to oppose the policies that Roosevelt put forward like the new deal as communist in nature. To further it’s own power and dominance in Europe, this European Government actively tried to influence US politics.

If you had not figured it out, I was referring to Hitler and Germany as the European country and it is true they worked very hard to keep America off balance, hoping to insight a fascist regime like in Germany. This was to keep the US out of the war in Europe so Germany would have a free hand to conquer Europe. The Nazi’s even had US congressman and Senators who worked to achieve this end. This group held marches, rallies and mailings often praising anti-Semitism and sounding like the Nazi Party in Germany. Even celebrities like aviation hero Charles Lindbergh supported the American Bund Party and its Fascist policies.

There were trials and investigations into numerous Americans of prominence who were participating in the idea of overthrowing democracy in the US. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the US entry into the war, the Bund party was soon out of favor, but not forgotten. Like January 6’s architects of insurrection, no key figure American figure was prosecuted for their attempts to overthrow democracy and just like those who started the civil war who never faced any real consequences.

Today Americans need to wake up and realize that once again a political party is trying to sew chaos inside the country and destabilize it for the benefit of their idol, Julius of Orange. Today’s MAGA Republicans like the Bund party are accepting the help of another European Dictator, Vladimir Putin of Russia, who like Hitler and Germany in the 1930’s sees Europe as his rightful possession and would benefit from the US keeping out of any conflicts and not supplying aid to Ukraine.

The problem with history is it is often forgotten and thus man keeps making the same mistakes over and over again, not learning the history and thus being doomed to repeat it. For the next several Angry Bob rants I am going to explain what Fascism is and how Donald Trump and MAGA embody this. It really pisses me off that few recognize what is going on and even fewer are willing to call it out. While not all Republicans are MAGA Republicans, All MAGA Republicans are supporters of Fascism with Donald Trump as Dictator.
