I am very politically active and a member of the Democratic Party. I have however, become quite disillusioned with our party, but probably not for the reasons you think.
We are in perilous times. Times like this call for strong leadership and support of that leadership. Let’s take a look at some fascist characteristics and why we need them.
Self-sufficiency. This is the bedrock of any group (family to nation). It’s embodied in the phrase, “Think globally; act locally.” We must see the forest, but know that strong trees (individuals) are our strength.
Nationalism. We must take care of our people. Forget interventions around the world. Forget Israel. We have needs here.
Unity. We need a closer integration of the community. The “fascia” is what keep a biological organism together.
Media. Let’s face it. We already control the media. Why shy away from reality?
Merger of corp and gov. WE are the party that espouses government protections. We already do this through public-private partnerships. THESE PARTNERSHIPS WORK. So why shy away from them?
Violence. This is where some intellectuals will bristle. But I ask why?? It has already worked. We have shown that violence will be accepted. Merchants and businesses that do not fall in line need to be rooted out. Remember, the goal is unity and prosperity.
Look, I know you might not be used to this. But the other side is already doing these things. It is foolhardy to suggest that one side will use strong arm tactics while we sit by and pretend.
We disagree with the other side on ideology sometimes, but the tactics are the same. Stop pretending. Embrace it.
