Gee, I wonder how Trump happened?

Looks like fascist governments like the US and Hungary will be welcoming wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu whereas non-fascist ones might arrest him. I guess it’s a good way to know whether you live in a fascist country or not.

"Trump’s immigration crackdown is all but certain to go beyond mass deportations. The president-elect has made clear that he intends to tear down the country’s immigration system as we know it, by ending birthright citizenship, reviving the 'Muslim Ban,' and rolling back refugee resettlement."

"Even 'documented' immigrants will not be safe, because Miller has declared that he will pursue the seldom-used process of 'denaturalization' to go after people who have been citizens for years or decades, based on suspicions about purported fraud on their naturalization applications. Individuals stripped of citizenship will then be subject to deportation along with Miller’s other targets."

"And Mr. Trump said he would make Thomas Homan, who ran ICE for the first year and a half of the Trump administration and was an early proponent of separating families to deter migrants, his administration’s 'border czar.'”

"Mr. Homan told The New York Times in 2023 that he had met with Mr. Trump shortly after the now president-elect announced that he would seek office again. During that meeting, Mr. Homan said, he 'agreed to come back' in a second term and would 'help to organize and run the largest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.'”

Pedro Molina comments on why people REALLY voted for Trump and what they want:

The cruelty is the point.

"In the novel The Handmaid's Tale, people very much like Hegseth come to power, oppress women, and turn the armed forces into domestic shock troops who fight a civil war. It is important to see accusations of sexual assault and Hegseth's persistent polygamy in this light: the notion that women are just objects goes hand in hand with the idea that the real fight for American soldiers is against other Americans."

"As we prepare to begin this fight with the incredible gift of a bit of time to prepare for what we know is coming, we must not be naive or compromised. We must understand that Donald Trump is only possible because Americans have rejected principles. Self-proclaimed Christians have embraced domination over love."

"It is frustrating and, frankly, frightening that the defense of basic rights and democratic self-government against the authoritarian onslaught depends so much on powerful individuals and institutions that have so far proved largely unable and/or unwilling to model anything but normalcy, compliance, and acquiescence. We need and deserve better."

"Self-professed conservatives have embraced dictatorship over pretensions of governmental restraint. And America, in general, has rejected our responsibility to advance—or at least not reverse—the cause of human rights."

"Former German chancellor Angela Merkel’s first mistake with Donald Trump, she writes in her memoir, was treating him as if he were 'completely normal', but she quickly learned of his 'emotional' nature and soft spot for authoritarians."

Timothy Snyder has continued a series about Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale and it's application to the US right now. I posted an excerpt from part 1 recently. In part two, he notes that some commentators want to read the book, which is explicitly about a Christian reconstructionist takeover of the US, as a parable about Islam! He says,

"We are a few cast stones away from Gilead, a repressive and failing regime."

"It makes perfect sense that a convicted felon and the man who sent the violent mob into the Capitol on his behalf would initiate an American autocracy. ...

Fascists believe you have to destroy to create, and Jan. 6 has already been canonized because of its violence as a foundational moment of the New Era of Trumpism. If authoritarian history is any guideline, Jan. 6 could become a holiday one day."

"Let’s pour one out for all the poor Black Republicans who gave up their dignity and pride for Trump believing it would elevate their careers. Not a single one has been picked by Trump. Senator Tim Scott even got engaged to a real-life, human woman, and so far it’s crickets. (Look at what they make you give, POC for MAGA.)"
