Trump’s actions, patterns unmistakable signs of Fascism

A recent letter writer does not think that Trump is a fascist, does not see parallels between Trump and Hitler, does not think that Trump cares only for billionaires and believes that there are strong similarities between the Progressive movement in America and the Fascist Soviet state he grew up with in East Germany.

We regret what this writer had to endure in his youth, but we’re puzzled that he is not outraged seeing those same patterns emerge in Trump’s efforts to turn America into an autocratic kleptocracy. How could he not be at the forefront of those sounding the alarm over Trump’s use of authoritarian, racist nationalism, backed by excessive military force as an excuse to purge America of (mostly non-white) immigrants, without any regard for their individual rights. That’s Fascism!

Further, the goals of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are: ‟A Fair Economy, Universal Health Care, and Climate Justice.” We don’t think that the Soviets particularly espoused those goals for East Germany, although the use of phrases such as ‟worker rights” and ‟fair taxation” may scream socialism to those who misunderstand the concept. These goals play to every state…if they are presented correctly.

Finally…billionaires. OK, let’s say the writer is correct by claiming that more billionaires supported Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Does he really think that the Democrats would have reciprocated by trying to devastate America’s social safety net, in order to provide yet more tax breaks for these obscenely wealthy people and corporations…when they hardly pay any tax as it is?

We invite this letter writer to take his rightful place on the front lines of the ‟Stop Trump’s American Autocracy” movement!
