A bit of wisdom, “Fascism American Style”

The title is in reference to an article by John Whitehead of http://www.rutherford.org.

America Broken

Dorothy Thompson was an American reporter who judged Hitler as a person of “startling insignificance.” She realized later the mistake in the reporting of American journalists, stating “No people ever recognize their dictator in advance,” she reflected in 1935. “He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument [of] the Incorporated National Will. When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American.”

Any correlation to Trumps MAGA cult of personality? Perhaps, we shouldn’t disregard historical comparisons when they’re in our face to see.

Although I agree with lots of what 47 is wanting to accomplish in regards to protecting the border, restoring jobs, reducing taxes and regulations, none of what he’s doing will stand the test of time when it’s done by Executive fiat through Executive Orders. These can be overturned with another administration coming to power. So either he knows this and is doing nothing about it or he is an idiot —>OR<— he is attempting to do as Dorthy Thompson wrote almost a hundred yrs ago, “… and he will stand for everything traditionally American...” and he will bring America into a full fascist state.

He rails against censorship yet he wants to punish those journalists and news organizations that report against his administrations narrative. Although I don’t agree nor read much from the “legacy” media nowadays because of their socialist-progressive bias they still are suppose have the freedom to print their trash. Why copy the sol-progs methods of censorship when you’re suppose to support free speech, unless you are “one of them”, what some call Fabian Socialists, they’re method is plainly put, “infiltrate and legislate”.

Could Trump be adhering to some of the concepts of Fabianism? I don’t know as I’m still researching the topics and sorting through relationships and relevant sources.

I do know that as Hayek wrote in 1944 in his “…The Road to Serfdom…” that government central planning does eventually lead to totalitarian systems of social control. In America this began under FDR and has continued nonstop since, though at various speeds as advocated by the Fabians.

My concern is that Trumps cult of personality will lead to a similar outcome.

Concerning Trump himself, I’ll leave this link and quote and leave his cult followers slobbering for a few minutes…

Evidently, Trump may have been using the so-called birthers only as a means to an end.

His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also a senior adviser to the president, allegedly told a former editor of the newspaper he once owned that the billionaire real-estate mogul didn’t believe his own “birtherism” claims, and only made them to charge up Republicans because they are “stupid,” GQ reported.

During a discussion on how to cover Trump, the former New York Observer editor, Elizabeth Spiers, claimed she told Kushner that she had serious problems with Trump’s repeated claims that Obama was not born in the U.S., to which Kushner allegedly told her: “He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it.”
