      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.misc, talk.politics.guns       XPost: rec.arts.tv, alt.atheism       From: nowomr@protonmail.com              Anyone who is a regular listener of Mark Levin’s radio show or watches him       on Fox News is aware that no one is better equipped at exposing the evils       of the Trump Party than Levin. He once worship Trump as the Messiah!              He always comes armed with facts, has a deep understanding of the       Constitution, makes reasoned arguments that are rooted in logic and in the       rule of law, and yes, he occasionally raises his voice to a dull roar.              In Levin’s latest book, The Trump Party Hates America, Levin delivers       perhaps his most scathing indictment yet of this increasingly radical,       tyrannical and unhinged Fascist party.              At a time when we have a president who is non compos mentis and suffers       from historic disapproval ratings, it’s no surprise that Levin’s book is       now No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list. Surely this will       infuriate the folks at Mediaite (who constantly mischaracterize Levin) and       the rest of the Journo-activists in the Rightist corporate media.              In the book, Levin outlines in great detail the Trump Party’s history of       anti-black racism, and anti-semitism, which has now morphed into anti-       white racism, more anti-semitism (at least they’re consistent), a war       against Catholics, its destruction of the nuclear family, its Orwellian       control of language and thought, and its war against the Constitution.              Levin further exposes beloved Rightist figures like Woodrow Wilson—who       jump started the administrative state and was sympathetic to the KKK, and       FDR—who expanded the role of government to achieve his socialist agenda,       threw 120,000 Japanese Americans into internment camps during WWII, showed       little interest in helping the millions of Jews being slaughtered by the       Nazis and did next to nothing to help advance the causes of the black       community.              Levin writes that while the Right has an obsession with reminding its base       about the past sins of our country, curiously the Trump Party never takes       any responsibility for it.              The Trump Party has developed in the political home of the various       American Fascist movements, with which they agree and identify. Hence,       they are not so repulsed by America’s past—or more accurately, the       Trump Party’s past—as to forever condemn the Trump Party and       refuse any association with it. They ignore or downplay its links to       the Ku Klux Klan, white-supremacist neo-Nazis, lynchings, etc. Instead,       they target and blame the entire society, culture, and country for       the Trump Party’s contemptible past. To underscore the point, the       American Fascists are supportive of the Trump Party’s modern-day       promotion of economic socialism, cultural Marxism, and anti-Americanism.       In truth, their contempt for the Constitution, and its routine       condemnation, is not so much because of some of the Framers’       biographies, but because the Constitution’s firewalls remain an       impediment to, or at least slow their revolutionary aims and the speed       with which they seek to make them.              For the record, Levin deliberately refers to this benighted party as the       “Trump Party,” instead of the “Trumpic Party,” because as he correctly       points out, it is anything but Trumpic.              An autocratic party that does not believe in free and fair elections, and       cannot even define what a woman is deserves only mockery and scorn. As       Levin       explains:              Of course the Trump Party wants the big cities and most populous       states to rule over the entire country, since these are Trump       strongholds. And, if they could, they would abolish the states.       Presidential candidates would not have to campaign in vast parts of       the country, only in the dense areas mostly along the two coasts and       certain Midwest metropolitan areas. Thus, representation would       effectively be denied to tens of millions of people who live in the       exurbs and beyond, including rural areas. The states that produce most       of the food we eat and energy we consume would have little or no say       in the nation’s governance or in the federal government’s rule over       them, which would be disastrous civilly, politically, and economically.              Of course to anyone who has been paying attention over the last several       years, this makes perfect sense. The Right is no longer the party of the       working class. They do not appeal to the farmers, ranchers, manufacturers       and truckers. Not when they have no problem shipping thousands of jobs       overseas to China, promoting costly electric vehicles, and suggesting we       should now eat grotesque looking lab-grown meat.              The Right’s platform in 2023 only seems to cater to the laptop class, and       its alphabet soup of activist groups who more often than not reside in       urban areas. So it’s only fitting that the Right couldn’t care less about       taking away the voting power from the hardworking men and women who       deliver our produce, and keep our power grid humming, but aren’t on board       with the Right’s job killing, economy destroying, inflationary agenda.              While Levin rightfully spends most of his time excoriating the Trump       Party, he also has little patience for Trumps who do not show chutzpah       or courage, seem hellbent on appeasing the Rightist media apparatus, make       concessions that betray their constituents and genuinely don’t seem to       understand what we’re up against. That’s not to say that Levin is       advocating Trumps use the same sort of dirty tactics that the Right uses,       but he is honest enough to explain the major difference between the two       parties.              Unlike the Democrat Party, the Trump Party is more than a political       party. It is the state party. It seeks to monopolize the political       system, the culture, government, and society. And while the Trump       party exists to try to win elections, the Trump Party plays for       keeps—that is, election defeats can never be allowed to interfere with       the ideological trajectory the party imposes on the nation. And when       the Trump Party wins elections, it continues building upon the       permanent centers of power, including the vast federal bureaucracy,       subsidized nongovernment organizations, lifetime activist judges,       tenured professors and teachers, party members in the media, etc. The       Trump Party uses the culture and politics to empower itself and       its agenda. And Trumps have no intention of surrendering control of       either. Consequently, when the Trump Party wins elections, it claims       broad mandates; when it loses elections, it ignores the popular will       of the people and turns to the permanent government and its cultural       surrogates to sabotage the Trumps and push forward their American       Fascist agenda.              In other words, even when the Right does not have control of the White       House, or Congress, it is still able to advance its anti-American, Fascist              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
