Red Shirt Followers Are Staring Jail In The Face

Who is the New Face of Fascism? 

Progressive groups are seeing a huge spike in membership as they are joining efforts against former US President Donald Trump. The NAACP sued President Trump, his presidential campaign, and the Republican National Committee in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for systematically trying to disenfranchise Black voters in states across the country. The indictment of Trump produced this response from the NAACP, “Today’s actions remind Americans that no person is above the law. Today is the beginning of the law catching up to Donald Trump. We intend to continue pursuing justice in our case that will hold him accountable for his actions that led to January 6th as well.” Other groups saw the charges against Trump as nothing less than a white supremacist rebellion as it was organized by Trump himself, along with Rudy “Phony” Giuliani, Steve “baloney” Bannon, and their red shirt backers. The official crooked lawyers of the Trump campaign worked hard to steal an election and now some of them are staring jail in the face. 

Trump’s attempt to sabotage the election was nothing less than a fascist attempt to make himself president for life and rule from the top down. His “Proud Boys” that led the attack on the capital are now in prison after a show of cowardice in the courtroom on the day they were sentenced. These fanatics cried, begged, and switched on each other. FACT: “Fascism is an ideology by one man or one party. Fascism uses propaganda to keep people believing falsehoods. Fascists push white nationalism, they dislike foreigners, are racist, and approve of violence if need be,” and Trump and his red shirt followers fit the definition. Slavery and the attitudes that go with it die hard. White supremacy is the hangover that fuels the fascism of Trump. The official drink of the Trump Campaign is poison “kook” aid laced with lies. Trump’s proposed new slogan should be, “Make Dictatorships Great Again – Heil Trump.”

A friend of mine said it clearly, “He has awakened the ugliest, most sinister, evil underbelly of this country. He has empowered them with his hate-filled words. He has bullied, threatened and destroyed those who stood up to him. Never has our country been in so much danger of being destroyed as a democracy. I pray that the good people of this country will stop him with our votes, by organizing and supporting those against his fascist threats.”

Most progressives in the United States oppose Trump and see him on the worst side of upcoming 2024 election. Many see Trump as the greater internal threat to Black and Brown rights, women’s rights, Native American rights, and progressive legislation. The majority of Black folk oppose Trump, except for the boot licking Sambos, like Kanye “Yippie” West, Enrique Tarrio, and Trevian “mug shot” Kutti; she was a real Sambo sell out for Trump and who harassed Black election workers and was paid off in one form or another. A short time back, on the morning after Philadelphia police fatally shot a Black man, 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr., Trump praised officers as “the most incredible people on earth.” Many Americans, both Black, Brown and White, know the game plan of Trump which includes lies on top of lies to cover up other lies. Trump surrendered, so his claim to never surrender is bull. If he was really brave he would have not shown up and be arrested, and Trump rats are leaving his stinking ship as time in jail becomes a real possibility.
