May Day! Mayday!

A Fascist By Any Other Name (Would Be Confusing)

May 1, 2023

May 1^st, May Day, has long been recognized throughout the world as a day dedicated to the world’s working men and women, especially workers’ unions. None of this has ever sat well with our corporate overlords, who see workers as a necessary evil who do nothing more than water down their profit margins. So buckle up, things might get a wee bit political here today.

Ratpublicans have prided themselves on owning the libs by steadfastly referring to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party.” Get it? Democrats should from this day forward (if not sooner) and unceasingly, refer to the disloyal opposition as the Fascist Party. This is simply turn-about fair play; it will anger those with guilty consciences, and has the added bonus of being 100% accurate.

This party has been burnishing their fascist bona fides for years. They are in favor of:

• forcing women to give birth against their will
• banning books
• rewriting history to whitewash slavery, indigenous genocide and other crimes against humanity
• revoking voting rights from any who oppose them, in particular people of color
• overturning any election that favors opponents
• preventing workers from organizing
• taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich

Two very fine Trump cultists…you know, Nazis

They are the party favored by racists, anti-Semites, and misogynists. They despise the poor, the LGBTQ+ community, non-white immigrants, education and science, preferring to hide behind a religion they also despise (though many of them are in total denial of this fact). Their leader favors autocrats of Russia and China over democracy. He constantly professes his love for North Korea’s murderous dictator Kim Jong-un (and has stolen letters to prove it).

The Fascist Party will stop at nothing to attain and keep power to themselves. If someone who disagrees with them does get elected, they will not hesitate to expel them for bogus reasons.

More Fascist Party senators

They constantly shout “America first!” (when they are not shouting “Hang Mike Pence!), but the America to which they refer is an ugly, white, male fiction that looks like this:

Apologies to all our sighted readers

Huge majorities of Americans favor serious gun control measures and allowing women control over their own bodies, but the Fascist Party will tolerate neither. They refuse to accept the will of the people.

The old adage “Don’t listen to what people say; watch what they do” is somewhat less pertinent here since the Fascist Party has never tried to hide their actions behind deceptive words. Well, maybe a few times, like their Orwellian "Clean Air Act" and a number of other misleading labels, but that was back when they cared about fooling people.

Those days are over for the Fascist Party, whose leader incited (at least) an insurrection, and when finally cajoled into putting a stop to his coup told his foot soldiers, while they were still assaulting the Capitol, “Go home, we love you, you're very special.” Trump has promised to pardon everyone involved if given the opportunity, and recently hugged one of his pitiable pawns (who still wants Mike Pence executed for certifying Joe Biden’s election) who did jail time for taking part in Trump’s coup attempt.

Two-thirds of Fascist Party members of the House and more than 20 percent of their senators were co-conspirators who supported Trump’s Big Lie and the overturning of the totally legitimate 2020 election of a non-fascist president. Their Supreme Court appointees were not the best; they are rapists, criminals and perjurers. Kavanaugh and Thomas were credibly accused of sexual misconduct and no real investigations were ever done to ferret out the truth. Kavanaugh, Alito, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts all perjured themselves during their confirmation hearings. Thomas, Gorsuch and Roberts are all involved in ethics scandals involving serious conflicts of interest. All of them, instead of being impartial arbiters of the law, are radical religious partisan political actors who are removing freedoms and putting their filthy thumbs on the scales of justice on behalf of their fascist/corporate benefactors to the detriment (destruction?) of government of, by and for the People.

In a word, fascism.

Despite all the lies, this is an ex-president…but still a fascist
