@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton In an INTERNATIONAL STUDY, the GOP *platform* was found to be FUNDAMENTALLY neo-fascist.

Republican Party has evolved into an American version of Europe's neo-fascists.

@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton Studies have demonstrated that the ONE characteristic that linked 2016 Trump voters across all *other* characteristics is that THEY ARE AUTHORITARIANS. 😖

Trump is a SYMPTOM of #AmericanFascism.

@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton Trump/GOP is controlled AND funded by Christofascists, white nationalists, and American and foreign oligarchs.

Watch this & read Anne Nelson's book, "Shadow Network".

@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton "I saw mounting evidence of a larger force at work: the rapidly evolving ties connecting the man power and media of the Christian right with the finances of Western plutocrats and the strategy of right-wing Republican political operatives" - @anelsona washingtonspectator.org/nelson-shadow-…
@duchessofearl1 @JYSexton @anelsona What Is the endgame of today's GOP?

A far-right authoritarian United States of America.

Good morning! 🌄🌇🌅

The *illegitimate* Trump admin — which exists because an oligarch cheated to get elected — is an *illegitimate* neo-fascist regime building fascism.

Today's GOP is a neo-fascist party.

The USA is an OLIGARCHY.

Oligarchy and fascism are UNACCEPTABLE.
Monday, @NPR *reporters* repeatedly called the fascist, terroristic rally in Virginia, "peaceful", and Wednesday morning, NPR *reporters* called perfectly legal behavior by refugees, "Illegal".

Do you understand what's happening?
Please read this THREAD. 🙏🏼⤵️

@Teri_Kanefield Today's Republicans like Putin and United Russia (Putin's party) because they're ideologically aligned on many issues.

They're NATURAL ALLIES.

We CAN'T overcome increasing neo-fascism in US gov w/o a reckoning about this in MSM.

The Poway synagogue shooter said he hated Jews for their role in "cultural Marxism". So, who spread the conspiracy theory concerning "cultural Marxism", which claims it's a Jewish conspiracy against Western Civilization?

Who popularized that? Donald Trump knows the man...
2) I revisit this every few months, when a new act of foreign or domestic terrorism happens and the perpetrator cites "cultural Marxism" as a reason. Back in '016 I wrote this piece which listed some of the then-current examples. 4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/tru… There are many more now.
3) "cultural Marxism" is now the grand unifying narrative for the hard, fascist & neo-Nazi right. It does the same work as did the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" forgery did, a century ago, to inspire Hitler & his Nazis. In '016 a book with a section on "cultural Marxism" was

Here's how the US evangelical right, to this day, monkeywrenches US politics and (as one piece of its agenda) prevents even modest action to address climate change. It's called "The Fifteen Percent Solution" but even that overstates the necessary numbers. theocracywatch.org/taking_over_fi…
All the movement really has to do is hold at least one branch of Congress. But start here: "The formula they've concocted has been called the "15 per cent solution" by the Christian Coalition. Even in a well attended presidential election, only 15 per cent of eligible voters..."
"...determine the outcome. Here's the simple math: about 60 per cent of the qualified electorate is registered, and only half of them vote. Half again of that 30 per cent determines the outcome, hence the all powerful 15 percent."

In the early 1970s, a new idea began to spread like wildfire through the US Protestant evangelical right - that the social and political upheavals which beset America during the 1960s had been caused by a literal geographic invasion of demons. amazon.com/Invasion-Demon…
I own this book. In it John Hagee - whose political endorsement was heavily courted by John McCain in the 2008 presidential election primaries - describes personally casting out demons, in the style of the movie "The Exorcist".
Hagee has fallen under the influence of the 1948 Latter Rain revival which proposed the Gnostic paradigm that when Adam & Eve had been cast out of the Garden, God also withdrew his protective force field from the Earth and that allowed a literal invasion of demons which...

Time has come for the lesson, "Who killed Anne Frank".

The lesson was originally taught by Doris Bergen, author of "Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich".

Do you think Hitler was the most responsible for the death of Anne Frank ?...
Who killed Anne Frank ?

It was an exercise Bergen designed for teachers in a course she was leading, for schoolteachers, that was called "Teaching The Diary Of Anne Frank", to raise their awareness of the "chain of complicity" that led to the Holocaust...
Bergen wrote out, on cards she passed out one by one to the teachers, "identities" of different people who each played a part in the death of Anne Frank - Hitler, Himmler, the person who snatched a scrap of bread from Anne Frank's hand in the concentration camp...
