"Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality
 Grifter Trump stole Trumpism, just like everything else in his life The king is dead; long live the [new] king.* With today's transfer of power in Washington, DC, Trump isn't dead, but the best hope for the future of America and the world is that his political movement does, in fact, die an ignominious death. Trump, of course, didn't create Trumpism; like pretty much everything else in his life, he stole it. When Fred Koch poured his money into the John Birch Society to protest the Supreme Court's Brown v Board decision in 1954, helping fund billboards across America proclaiming that Chief Justice Earl Warren must be impeached, the scar of racism that was etched into our nation at our founding entered a new turning of our political cycles.

The distressing truth: Why white people are embracing fascism
White supremacy is real and white suppression of minorities, particularly Black people, absolutely permeates every aspect of our society, from business to culture to governance. Without setting aside that reality, it's useful to examine why so many white people, with their built-in white privilege, would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a wannabe dictator like Trump.

Wednesday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: Live Coverage of the Inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris... / PLUS, Thom's take & your calls...
Hour Two: What does today's Biden/Harris Inauguration mean to you?
Speech: " First Inaugural Address", Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 4 March 1933. " Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." Bible: "On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.'" - Romans 12:20.
Hour Three: Finally...FINALLY...the madman is gone...and Thom's cat is found!
Bible: " Matthew 25:31-46: The Sheep and the Goats". " ...All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats... For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ... 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'" Quote: " In War: Resolution,
In Defeat: Defiance,
In Victory: Magnanimity
In Peace: Good Will." - Winston S. Churchill. |
