Republican Fascists MAGA Trump cult micromanaging our lives in the most government intrusive policies in our nation’s history like Nazi Germany and the old USSR did – that’s what they think is needed to be done to all of us and use our country’s resources to do it.
You know what these Republicans MAGA Trump Fascists think and believe –
*That you need them deciding who you can and can’t love, when you can or can’t have a baby and how women in your family can and cannot have the medical care they need and of what kinds.
*That you need them deciding who you can support politically and whether your vote should be counted or not – and if you’re not voting for them, Trump and Republicans think you don’t need to have your vote counted or cast that vote in the first place.
That you need them deciding what your lifestyle is to be and the options available to you based on your class as they’ve defined it, partially determined by how much money you make, your gender, your religion and who your friends are.
But, I don’t want big government getting into my life, say many of the MAGA Trump cult members. Well, the dictator wannabe Trump who worships Putin, Orban, Kim Jong-Un, Erdogan, Xi and Hitler is planning an intrusive government on steroids. He has said so. His fascist elected Republican office holders have said so. Project 2025 and Agenda 47 that he plans to use to remake our government into a fascist dictatorship says so.
What else do Fascist Trump supporting Republicans think and believe –
And what else do Republicans in the throes of Fascism now, believe and think to decide for us? –
*That you need them to take democracy and freedoms away in case you might use them wrong or contrary to whatever they want. You know that if you and I have freedom to think for ourselves and make our own choices, we might do things in different ways than they’ve determined we all must – like have religious and political views different than theirs or refuse to bow down to Putin, and to Trump every day as in North Korea.
*That you need them to take away your rights to your own choices and your own speech and your own body and your rights to vote, along with your rights to think differently than they do, your rights to be empathetic and caring, your rights to refuse, your rights to education including for your children, your rights to read what you want, your rights to write what you want, your rights to go where you want when you want, your rights to opportunities and prosperity in the United States and your right to equal justice under the rule-of-law. (Apparently, you’re supposed to buy that through bribery and extortion like they do in Russia and Hungary – as Trump is proving he gets to do right now, even in our system as it is.)
*That you need them to take over your city and fill it with armed National Guard and US Military (despite the current illegality of that under our Constitution), so you will act and speak as they believe you should – most of those freedoms we now enjoy will be gone with more removed every day that Republicans get positions of power in states and from this fall’s election. Look what the Republican Freedom Caucus serving Trump Fascism have done in Congress this year. It is obscene.
But, Republicans are listening to people like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, to Steve Bannon and for years, Rush Limbaugh and whatever talking points Roger Ailes was choosing to promote daily across all the Fox broadcasting News As Entertainment and Propaganda channels. Here is where that is now –
Tucker Carlson Has Turned Against The United States | The Warning with Steve Schmidt
Steve Schmidt discusses how Tucker Carlson has become a useful idiot for Vladimir Putin.
Republicans serving Trump MAGA Fascism to install dictatorship across the United States over the next four years when they’ve been seated in power – which includes a lot more seats than the presidency. These efforts by the Council on National Policy, Heritage Foundation and the Republican Party plus their sister organizations of several hundred, PACs, SuperPACs, Republican Fascist-serving Media Machine, Think Tanks, political consultants and lobbyists have been running a number of states into a hellish place of the worst economic landscape, most sexually and socially perverse hellscape and most uneducated, ignorant, underemployed, unrealized potential of any time in our history. Now, they are expanding that vision across all of our nation as they started in full force during Trump’s first opportunity to give them America in trade for him getting to play the office of our president for all the money he could get.
Other things that Republican Fascists who are supporting Trump as dictator think and believe –
*That you need them to decide the version of god you pray to, the religion you must have and the religious beliefs you must adhere to in their definition of what that is in practice (& it is the opposite of what Jesus taught and what the words of his teachings mean – it’s also the opposite of what it is to be godly, good or enjoy any of the fruits of God’s Spirit as detailed in the Bible.)
In fact, as evidenced by MAGA Trump supporters and Republicans who’ve fallen into absolute allegiance and loyalty to Trump as dictator of their every action and every word (Jim Jordan and Marjorie Traitor Greene come to mind plus the extremists of the Trump cult with their actions,) – they show the fruits of fascism and the opposite traits of everything the Bible tells us about the fruits of God’s Holy Spirit. They sure aren’t at peace inside their own skin. They are forever agitated, aggravated at the most petty, trite events in their everyday lives, overly reactive like they have a chip on their shoulder all the time, no joy, no brightness of their spirit, no kindness and unconditional love for others, no empathy and compassion, and in fact, they’re cruel, manipulative and often, sadistic.
They think you and I need them to decide what we can learn, who can be allowed to learn, who can be taught, what can be taught, the frame of referencing used so that all their beliefs are applied exclusively to bias whatever is taught, all the things that can’t be taught anywhere, all the things that can be said and when they can’t be said (like don’t say gay, in Florida right now under the Fascist Republican anti-democracy laws passed by DeSantis and his Republican Party run legislature.)
*That you need them deciding for you and that those decisions you would normally, freely be making for yourself, for your children and for your family should not belong to you to make (and this isn’t about whether you can be free to not wear a mask during a pandemic or being asked to be kind and considerate of others by a politically correct choice of words that aren’t racist, misogynistic or insulting in prejudicial ways.)
This fascism as a dictatorship run by Trump and Christian Nationalists will remove a lot deeper rights and freedoms that are far from being some small inconvenience like those things. Talk about government intrusion into your life, right now these same fascists have removed women’s rights to have an abortion, but also to have a D&C for any other reason either because doctors are afraid to do them even if the life of the woman is at stake. And, contraception products along with other reproductive rights are under threat by them now in every state they run.
But at the same time, none of these rules and laws will apply to them:
Manhattan DA subpoenas Trump Org over hush money payments – By BERNARD CONDON August 2, 2019
https://www.apnews.com/TrumpInvestigations
The subpoena, first reported by The New York Times, was for records related to payments that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen helped arrange to the porn actress Stormy Daniels after she claimed she had an affair with Trump.
Federal prosecutors in New York and Washington both spent months probing payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to two women who said they had affairs with Trump, including Daniels and the model Karen McDougal.
Cohen, who made one of the payments himself and arranged for American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, to pay the other, pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, tax evasion and other crimes and is serving a three-year sentence.

Trump guru’s sexxx-rated antics
The man credited with putting Donald Trump in the White House has a long, lurid history of swinging and sexxx-rated antics.
Roger Stone — a long time friend of the U.S. president — has for years been a frequent flier at a Washington-area sex club.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, by midnight on Saturdays, the club had devolved into a giant orgy with sex acts being rampant as porn played in the background. (…)
The Stones were members of the club and also regulars at New York sex club, Le Trapeze.
It didn’t exactly fit with the squeaky-clean Republican party that Stone was closely associated with. He had worked for former presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

So, while women are supposed to stop working outside the home, stay in the kitchen, be seen and not heard and while children and women can be sexually assaulted by any white Christian Trump supporting man or church minister – the rest of us are subjected to a different set of requirements and rules than they are. The double standard is not even hidden. Republicans don’t mind that at all. The dictators and their oligarchs always get to do whatever they want and get away with it. The laws don’t apply to them and don’t apply to their friends either.
What is the mission statement of the Republican Party?
Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals.
None of that seems like a dictatorship would fit the Republican Party and yet that is the path they have chosen to use serving Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation and the fascist far-right movement that is funding and supporting disinformation, propaganda and far rightwing parties around the world backed by Russia and Putin’s foreign policy efforts.

In March 2021, one survey indicated that five factions of Republican voters had emerged following Trump’s presidency: Never Trump, Post-Trump G.O.P. (voters who liked Trump but did not want him to run for president again), Trump Boosters (voters who approved of Trump, but identified more closely with the Republican Party than with Trump), Die-hard Trumpers, and Infowars G.O.P. (voters who subscribe to conspiracy theories).[10] In November 2021, Pew Research Center identified four Republican-aligned groups of Americans: Faith and Flag Conservatives, Committed Conservatives, the Populist Right, and the Ambivalent Right.[11]
As of 2023, congressional Republicans refer to the various House Republican factions as the Five Families.[12][13][14][15] Derived from The Godfather, the term refers to Mafia crime families.[13] The Five Families consist of “the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, the conservative Republican Study Committee, the business-minded Main Street Caucus, the mainstream Republican Governance Group”, and the Republican members of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. The House Republican factions overlap with one another.[14]
Factions in the Republican Party (United States), 2024
These are the people who want to make our complete array of decisions and options for us along with what options and decisions are to be fully excluded from us. Trump by far, is the most ignorant option for a decision-maker on anything and he chooses only those who will sign a legal contract pledge of absolute loyalty and allegiance to him, many of which started out smart but quickly must prove they are not as smart as he is. It is a roller coaster ride to the bottom for good thinking, rational thought, sane reasoning, stable intellectual methods, scientific and educated approaches, mental acuity, learning, discernment of facts from falsehoods, and all of it excused as “rhetoric”.
Reports: RNC’s new Trump-backed team orders mass layoffs – Mar 12, 2024
Trump allies welcomed reports that the Republican National Committee’s new leadership team began firing dozens of staff on Monday.
Why it matters: Reports of plans to purge some 60 staffers come days after likely Republican 2024 presidential nominee former President Trump’s allies were installed in key committee leadership roles.
The RNC voted for the Trump-backed Michael Whatley to become chair and the former president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be co-chair on Friday, some eight months before the 2024 election.

This reminds me of what Hitler did when he took over the party and what Saddam Hussein did when he took over the Ba’ath Party fully using the Hitler playbook in application. Now, as we all watch Trump and his fascist coalition do it –
What they’re saying: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) wrote on X: “MAGA is now in control of the Republican Party!! We will continue to need everyone’s help all the way across the finish line!”
Charlie Kirk, who leads the pro-Trump youth group Turning Point USA, in a post to X celebrated the “Bloodbath at the RNC” as “excellent,” adding: “The anti-Trump sleeper cells all have to go. The RNC is getting ready to win.”
Reports: RNC’s new Trump-backed team orders mass layoffs, March 12, 2024
These are the days in which is important to ask ourselves – Will Democracy Die With Me? Will this be its last gasp after 246 years of successful democracy, freedom for our people, the United States, our Constitution, our human and civil rights, our rule-of-law and our options for our lives? For what, will we have lost our democracy? To serve Trump and his Fascist Republican friends with every life of every American to become their subjects and to serve their pleasure of oppression and sadistic cruelty while allowing them to divert every resource and asset of our nation to their own hoarding of and profiting off everything for themselves?
The Far-Right Playbook for American Authoritarianism – Project 2025
The far right has made public its plans for an ‘ideal’ America if one of their allies wins the 2024 presidential election in its 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Project 2025 is spearheaded by the far-right think tank Heritage Foundation and supported by more than 80 organizations, many well-known for their extreme positions, and for pushing hate and Christian nationalism. The authors and supporters of Project 2025 claim this plan will “rescue the country” from “elite rule and woke cultural warriors.”
Global Project Against Hate And Extremism, 2024
The 2025 Presidential Transition Project paves the way for an effective conservative Administration based on four pillars: a policy agenda, Presidential Personnel Database, Presidential Administration Academy, and playbook for the first 180 days of the next Administration.

There is no better time than the present to get involved and make every effort to stop these forces that would steal our freedom and liberty away to serve their own profits and their own perverse ends. The time is gone, if you wait until election day, decide not to be bothered with voting, never speak up and don’t take this seriously when it is this serious and factually based, more serious than I can convey.
Once democracy and freedom is lost, getting it back could take hundreds of generations of our lives and our children’s children suffering a nation under fascist authoritarian dictatorship. They will never know freedom, but we have. We should never give that up. Keeping Democracy is worth the fight to save it.
