Benito Mussolini, the creator of modern fascism, defined his 'movement' as an authoritarian government in support of corporatism. The Nazi's who called themselves “National Socialists” were 'socialist' in name only. Hitler joined what was then a worker's party and transformed it into a fascist movement on the example of Mussolini's Italy, even going so far as trying to replicate, in 1923, Mussolini's “march on Rome” with his “Beer Hall Putsch” in Munich with was intended as the first step to a march on Berlin. Hitler purged the 'socialists' from the party but kept the name so as to put a 'populist' veneer on his repressive regime. Disgustus is attempting much the same thing; a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, keeping the name but gutting all 'republican' substance from the movement.
As evidence of this I give you exhibit number one: his open declaration last weekend that criticizing him “should be made illegal”. There you have it. A bald faced assertion that he is, and has right to be, above any criticism. Disgustus is always right, after all. Just ask him. Hell, just wait five minutes and he will have told you.
It has been nearly three months since reports of the second quarter GDP were due to be released. We have yet to see them. There are reports that the government is delaying or suspending economic reports, including inflation, in order to keep the country uninformed as to the real condition of the economy. We may well be, given the first quarterly reports already into a recession. The tRUMPcession it will no doubt be called, brought upon us by this blithering idiot's senseless tariffs and other economic policies.
He fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because of miserable employment numbers. This month's employment figures are even more dismal raising the question of how many directors of the agency must he fire and replace before they finally “get the numbers right”.
He rabbits on in daily interviews and news conferences that he has beat inflation. He has not.
He tells the nation that unemployment is down. It is not
He boasts that we have entered a new 'golden age'. We have and will not.
He continually whines that the media do nothing but criticize him, how persecuted he is, and then goes on and repeats the same damn lies. No one seriously takes him to account.
.
Yes, the criticism has come often. But there is so much to criticize. He's done nothing right. He hasn't done anything, save cut taxes and regulations on corporate America and the country's billionaires, laying bare the true fascist essence of this maladministration: government in service of corporatism. The dictatorship of Capital. And now, criticisms of this despotism, as with any tin-horn dictator may well become illegal.
Impeach and Imprison
