American Insanity
an update, and Possible Solution
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Lord Acton, 1887
1. Welcome to the dozens of new Subscribers and Followers who have joined this (always free) site since I stepped away after the election.
2. The original name of this site was Neo-Fascism: A Warning, and sadly, an Insane President is now instituting in real time a power-mad neo-fascist regime.
(“Neo” simply means new - new names, new uniforms, but it’s the same old fascist poison in a new red-white-and-blue bottle.)
Historian Hannah Arendt, who survived a Gestapo prison, said in 1951 that the “next round of Nazis will come in business suits from Madison Avenue.”
3. Since “Kamala4Prez” is no longer a relevant title for this Substack newsletter, I would like to change it to a more relevant title. I’m inviting comments and suggestions from all of you:
If this site is to continue the fight against a neo-fascist takeover of the American government, what shall we call it?
Finally,
I am adding a link here to a site called Feathers of Hope which is focused solely on instituting change through the House of Representatives, which is now the weakest link in Trump’s chain of power.
Jerry Weiss’s Feathers of Hope is a significant resource with a large network of actively engaged citizens who are trying to “defend and preserve” American democracy.
Did anyone else notice that Trump did not place his hand on a Bible when he took the sacred presidential oath?
In particular, Jerry asks What Can We Do Right Now?
I highly recommend that site for its hopeful message, its practical plans, and its knowledgable and resourceful following of actively engaged citizens looking for a way back from the treasonous insanity that has taken over of the American government.
Finally, it was through deep disappointment and frustration I had planned to abandon this Substack endeavor, but the daily dose of power-mad insanity coming from Trump and his Cowardly Sycophants has once again stirred me to make an effort.
Who voted for Trump to:
give unelected unaccountable Elon Musk presidential powers?
start a trade war with Canada?
remove the Palestinians to build a Riviera in Gaza?
cave to Putin and sell-out Ukraine?
overturn the 14th (Birthright) Amendment?
… and we’re only 1 month into this American Dictatorship; imagine 4 years!
So I’m back, to rejoin the fight to Save America.
But we need a new title for this site, and your suggestions are needed. If we’re gonna fight this insanity, we need a powerful title.
Welcome back and happy to see you reconsidering your role. I remember chatting about that when you left.
How about something like "Take Back Democracy", keeps it more positive?
Glad to see you back. I have been out of touch with many since my home burned to the ground up in Altadena Wed morning, the 8th. I am regrouping and as what was a happy retiree, I have a new full time job, but will do my best to stay in touch with all who are keeping us on the path to save the nation that I swore a solemn oath to protect and defend with my (as Jeff T. would say). MOTHERFUKIN LIFE!!! I am mad as HELLLL!!!!
