    We witnessed Jan 6th, is this the next step ?

    “Far-right activist Ali Alexander is pushing election conspiracy theories in Brazil.

    He called on the Brazilian military to start a coup and deny the election defeat of Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, a Trump ally and divisive far-right leader, has parroted MAGA election denial rhetoric.

    Alexander was banned from Twitter, Venmo, and Paypal in January 2021. Twitter said it banned him over tweets that glorify violence, while PayPal — which owns Venmo — said it banned him for violating its policies.

    Alexander's claims on TruthSocial go one step further, with the conspiracy theorist attempting to baselessly mix President Joe Biden into his narrative.”

    Yes, this isn’t new. The Q world believes the military will restore Trump and that all elections they lose should be met with a fascist takeover. They aren’t kidding. And there will be hundreds of these nuts that actually win at all levels in a few days.

    In the US the fascist takeover was complete a few years back. It’s why Trump was ousted.

    And by “ousted”, you mean voted out in accordance with US laws and the constitution, correct?

    ^^^ ”The Storm”, in a nutshell.

    All losses are impossible, and are existential threats to the losers, and must be answered with maximum governmental violence.

    You can’t just whine about losing an election, you have to make it the worst threat imaginable, so that the preferred-all-along totalitarianism sounds less batshit.

    Yes, agreed. The Storm maniacs will win all over the country. And then all of the things that the right has been saying are just silly libby paranoia items will begin to happen.

    That will have to do until SCOTUS rules that state legislatures can just pick POTUS. And then the takeover is essentially complete.

    Keeping in mind that your apparent definition of "fascist" is anyone who didn't vote for Trump.

    There’s no innate law that democracies last forever, as we are witnessing in various places around the world today.

    What was now fringe was mainstream.

    And it’s not like democracy and freedom is synonymous.

    Democracy is nice, mind you, but not if you have to face a world that seems out of whack to you. Then a little authority and order is the recipe to make you feel more comfortable.

    But just a little. History shows you can reign the things back in and bring back democracy once things are back to “normal”. And most importantly, the forces that must be unleashed to bring back order will never actually hurt you, only those that really deserve it. They can be calibrated and controlled.

    Their called Facists, basicly Thugs that wish to control all aspects of society. The world had a pretty good taste of that sort of thing in the 30's and early 40's.

    Fair elections, dissenting voices, intellectuals, scientists, free thinkers, women, gays, gypsies, Jews, Black, Brown and Red people, medical professionals, non christians, ................ all those that stand in the way of the behavior control freaks that call themselves conservatives, christians and "the right", will be subjected to intense descrimination, and possibly worse. Much worse.

    Least one forgets, "Democracy" as we know it, did not emerge until the late 18th century, with movements in France and the United States. it's a fairly "NEW" phenomena. (Forget the "Greek" example, it was a mans club and went extinct anyway).

    The world up until the Democratic movements were ruled by blue bloods, aristocracy, Kings and Queens, and in the West anyway was buttressed and supported by that charlatan "CULT" religon known as the Catholic and later the Protestant church.

    Apparantly the world "yearns" for a return to elitiest "strong man" right wing (facist) control and social indoctrination.

    What do you think the "Supreme Court" packed with conservatives is doing right now? Taking away womens rights, affirmitive action, the right for self expression.

    The Trump movement and the hoard of election deniers have made it clear, our way or the highway..........house and senate supporters of Herschal Walker have lined up saying: It dosen't matter what he did or the lies he tells, whats important is control, power and adherence to the white, christian, ideological and mental control requirements the party demands. Walker is a "good boy" that understands the bidding of his masters. Oh so 1970's Comintern International or 1930's Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer.

    This is where we are rapidly headed. The American body politic is all about hate and stabbing the other party. Nobody cares about the country anymore, it's about making the other party look bad.

    At the end of the day we are all owned by the modern version of the aristocratic class - Corporate shareholders that care about nothing but profit. It dosen't matter that ceaseless capatalism is destroying the environment and the very future of the human race. After all "prayer" and "Benjamin Franklins" solve everything.



    Those of you that do not cloak yourself in white face and the magic robe of christianity better get busy doing so, least you find yourself in a camp whose motto is: "Work will set you free".

    When was it determined that fascism wasn’t democratic ? It’s very democratic.

    Allow me to offer you a piece of advice, though I suspect you're incapable of heeding it:

    "It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt."
