Mike’s Midterm Tsunami Truth #9
Why will we win? Because the American people hate fascism.
(A daily dose of truth about how millions of American voters are going to crush the traitor Trumpsters on November 8th)
The vast majority of Americans have always opposed any form of fascism, even though at times tens of millions of us have endorsed the genocide of our native peoples, the enslavement, raping and lynching of humans kidnapped from Africa, the prohibition of Chinese immigrants, the over 100 illegal invasions of other countries, the closed doors to victims of the Holocaust, the passage of laws legalizing white supremacy, the prohibiting of marrying or having sex with someone of your own gender and the government legalizing the second-class citizenship of all women, to name but a few. Yet, in spite of all this, the vast majority of Americans are repulsed by fascism.
And that is why those of the party that supports fascism will be rebuked and go down in a crushing defeat on November 8th.
147 Republicans in Congress participated in a treasonous act on the night of 1/6/21 by voting in support of the insurrectionists’ demands earlier that day to illegally overturn the legitimate and already-certified results of the 2020 election.
That was an act of fascism. Most Americans in 2022 are not fascists. We might be occasionally stupid, often ill-informed and woefully unaware we are being hoodwinked by capitalists, clerics and the NFL’s concussion “protocols,” but we are, most of us, nonetheless good-hearted people of conscience who believe everyone deserves a fair shake and a seat at the table. We love Democracy, even if we’ve yet to attain it. We’d like the “American Dream” to become the American Reality for all who wish to be here. We want all those around the world to have freedom, economic equality and a belief that we are all part of the same family and the same planet on which we can live and breathe and play Wordle.
And that is why we will win come Roevember. We don’t like authoritarians, mansplainers or fascists — all of which defines the Republican Party of the 21st century. It really is that simple.

Of course we hate Fascism That is not the problem. Identifying Trump and his Bullies AS Fascists is the problem. The very same people that claim to hate Fascism would never agree to call Trump a Fascist. That would involve clear thinking and reflection, which hurts our brains. I say that Trump = Hitler, and the MAGA morons = Germany's Brown Shirt Thugs. Few believe me.
A nationalist will say that “it can’t happen here,” which is the first step towards disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it. 🥷🏻 - Timothy Snyder 📖 On Tyranny, Twenty lessons from the twentieth century
