Evil is happening right here and now
Donald Trump has smashed the checks and balances, obliterated the integrity of corporate journalism, stifled dissent, and created a climate of fear with his constant threats and aggressions against the US Constitution and the American people over the last 188 days.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has added $3.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. He has also engaged in a level of self-dealing and corrupt acts that are best described as plundering.
Trump has filled the government with weirdos, incompetents, and extremists. He has created a masked secret police force, and turned it loose in America.
He has built concentration camps and desensitized a cult following to cruelty and maliciousness, by celebrating and glorifying thuggery.
Read this account of an 18-year-old American citizen who was detained and abused by ICE, but had the wherewithal to record the incident. This was part of the exchange that Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio had with Florida highway patrol officers:
Laynez-Ambrosio: “I was born and raised right here.”
Audio in the video catches the unidentified officers debriefing and appearing to make light of the stun gun use. “You’re funny, bro,” one officer can be overheard saying to another, followed by laughter.
Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”
Later in the footage, the officers move on to general celebration – “Goddamn! Woo! Nice!” – and talk of the potential bonus they’ll be getting: “Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.” It is unclear what bonus they are referring to. Donald Trump’s recent spending bill includes billions of additional dollars for ICE that could be spent on recruitment and retention tactics such as bonuses.
It is chilling.
ICE is turning deadly, and their already low standards and lack of training are about to get much worse as the wannabes and emotionally-damaged dregs who want to abuse people while wearing mass are made federal agents.
Prices on everything are rising everywhere.
Home sales have slowed to a trickle.
Trump’s tariffs are make-believe. They are show business. Each is an act of arson that burns something and someone for no reason other than satisfying an audience of fools who line up to be abused by millionaire and billionaire liars.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party stands at its most unpopular position in three decades, according to a new The Wall Street Journal poll.
Trump’s numbers are collapsing on all fronts, and the American people are disgusted, but they have also made a judgement about the Washington, DC, leaders of the Democratic Party.
The American people despise Chuck Schumer.
Yet, the position of the Democratic senators remains steadfast.
They have decided the 2026 election is about neither Trump’s abuses, or a plan to make them stop.
Instead, it is to be about maintaining Chuck Schumer’s grip on power.
After all, what could possibly be more inspiring in this moment of national crisis during which fear is rising and dissent is being punished than six more years of Chuck Schumer — other than perhaps the re-election of 79-year-old Ed Markey in Massachusetts to get him ready for his next re-election at 86?
Donald Trump is a fascist, and mostly, he faces weakness.
Democrats who tell you that the election is about affordability are as out-of-touch as Pete Hegseth is running the Pentagon.
The election ahead is about America.
The election ahead is about We the people.
It is about freedom.
It is about liberty.
It is about stopping a growing tide of malice and evil before it comes for every last one of us. Nobody should believe it can’t happen here because it is happening here. Right now, and right here.
It is happening all around us. Don’t look away.
Instead, prepare.
Prepare to make an American stand against the wrong, and bring it to an end.
We must.
Steve, As your admirer, a mother, psychologist of 40 years, educator, and humanitarian I’m writing this to your followers because I believe they fully absorb what is our painful reality.
Both Hitler and Trump rose by manufacturing crises, Hitler with the Reichstag fire, Trump with false narratives of immigrant invasions and election fraud to justify authoritarian crackdowns and dismantle constitutional protections. Each attacked the judiciary, vilified the press, and corrupted civil institutions, replacing expertise with blind loyalty. Like Hitler, Trump dehumanizes vulnerable populations, cages migrants in grotesque detention centers, disappears people without due cause and fabricates threats to deploy military force, as he did in Los Angeles under the false claim of riots. Their drive for total power includes purging civil servants, defying court orders, and crushing state autonomy. They weaponize lies and fear, relying on propaganda, cult worship, and revisionist history to erase accountability. But it is not just our democratic structures that suffer, Trump’s policies have inflicted wanton damage on our economy, our global standing, and our shared sense of truth and decency. His trade wars, climate denialism, and performative cruelty have made America weaker, angrier, and more divided. Like Hitler, he thrives on chaos, vengeance, and punishing those who resist him. The parallels between Hitler and Trump are not merely their actions but their shared antisocial pathology, a profound lack of conscience, a void of empathy, and a toxic narcissism that elevates the grasping for personal power above all else.
There is a playbook and just like Hitler, Trump and his loyalists are laying the foundation of a modern American fascism. Trump has already torn children from their mothers never to return, locked people in camps, and shipped immigrants to countries known for human rights violations. This is not theoretical. It’s happening. While he isn’t building gas chambers, his facilities become a concentration camp when people are detained indefinitely without charges, denied basic hygiene and medical care, kept in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, deprived of food, beds, and contact with the outside world, and stripped of their dignity and legal status. Trump is laying the psychological and logistical groundwork for widespread dehumanization using separation, cruelty, starvation, sickness, torture, and the quiet erosion of moral outrage. The Germans likely never imagined what Hitler and his enablers would ultimately do. We have no such excuse.
I agree Chuck Schumer has got to go. Dems have to put away Emily Post’s book on Manners and take off their white gloves. We should be fact checking friggin every word out of his mouth and vociferously point out his depraved antics. Wake up America -his plan is to incarcerate all of us- he’s taking away our first amendment rights but he will not stop there. So in the words of the late great Bob Marley : GET UP, STAND UP
STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT
GET UP STAND UP
DON’T GIVE UP THE FIGHT
Make no mistake, we are under attack and the French are not coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.
