Donald Trump’s Plot Against America - Democracy Docket
Donald Trump is plotting to overthrow American #democracy. It is not a secret, and he is not subtle. The only question is whether enough people will care enough to stop it.
Trump is not hiding his intentions for a second term. Echoing #Hitler’s rise to power, he has called his political enemies “vermin” and promised his supporters that, if elected, he would be their “retribution.”
Trump’s enablers have outlined a plan for him to replace tens of thousands of career civil servants with #MAGA loyalists and to take personal control of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute his political rivals. He is almost certain to use an old law — the Insurrection Act — to convert the military into his personal domestic police force.

Umberto Eco has a cogent essay about how to spot the signs of what he calls "Ur-Fascism", or the essential components of fascism.

That a Western democracy uses mass repression against climate activists is not the an aberration of the democratic principle but the fullest conclusion of it. Democracy emerged at a specific historical context contingent on the development of the capitalist mode of production and of the exploitation of fossil fuels to fuel the valorization process. Within this specific historical context, we cannot expect democracy to do any different. #ClimateCrisis #Democracy
