The item below was posted to the “Even More Patriotic Patriots for Delaware” FB page. I agree with the sentiment 100%.
The Democratic Party “leadership” doesn’t have any fight in it, mostly because they are doing ok, and suppose they will continue to do ok event after the end of democracy. Many of them are probably correct. People like Chris Coons, for example have transnational family fortunes so they can afford to be the token Democrats to provide the veneer of a republic. The same goes for the media. They continue to cover the advance of fascism as if it is some jolly parlor game.
“In the end, a plurality of Americans, if not a majority, through tacit consent or just plain indifference, are surrendering to the neofascist tide and allowing themselves to be submerged in it. Trump’s followers and other ‘conservatives’ are energized by their belief that the rising fascist tide will carry them back to their imagined ‘greatness’ as the ‘real Americans’. They will be drowned too — that will just take longer.
“America’s supposed pro-democracy leaders should be rallying the people to resist the Republican fascist assault. Most are not. In the most high-profile example, President Joe Biden is choosing to publicly embrace ‘bipartisanship’, in the empty hope that the Democratic Party’s legislative successes will somehow blunt the power of the Republican-fascist movement.“Meanwhile, the mainstream news media remains trapped in obsolescent norms of ‘fairness’, ‘balance’ and ‘objectively’, rather than engaging in the type of pro-democracy advocacy journalism demanded by the country’s escalating political crises.”As I see it, the Democratic Party lacks the will to confront fascism with direct action; the MSM doesn’t have the courage to put Republican fascism on blast; and “moderates” across the political spectrum are capitulating far more than they’re resisting.
I only supported the Democratic Party in the last election in hopes of buying enough time to execute an exit plan, but neofascist normalization is accelerating far faster than I had anticipated. I’m not trying to be an alarmist, but I genuinely fear for the future of our country. Nor am I being hyperbolic when I refer to the Republican Party as a neo-fascist death cult engaged in zero-sum politicking that poses an existential threat to future of American democracy.
