We rally at the Sheridan Co courthouse at 1pm. Bring a friend, a flag, and a sign! We the People serve no kings!
SIGNS of FASCISM is the word!!! Let’s HOLD THE LINE for our Constitution, Country & Democracy!
The Congress and the Courts are not operating as Equal Branches of our government. Let’s spell it out for fellow citizens, it is F-A-S-C-I-S-M!!
Below from Timothy Snyder in a 2024 article Fantasy-Impotence-Fascism. Sure seems familiar these days!!?
Fascism’s dependence on “unreality”, Timothy Snyder described a political process that nurtures fascist ideology. The sequence includes:
- Manufacturing a fantasy: Leaders deliberately invent or exaggerate an external threat or internal enemy. This creates an “us vs. them” mindset and a climate of fear.
- Creating government impotence: The focus on these fabricated problems distracts from real policy issues and undermines the government’s ability to function. This lowers public expectations of the government.
- Encouraging street battles: When official channels fail to address problems, political conflict devolves into violence and intimidation in the streets, further destabilizing society.
- Enabling oligarchs: A weakened government creates opportunities for powerful, wealthy individuals—oligarchs—to gain influence and further corrupt the political system.
- Shifting focus: The cycle repeats with the invention of new threats to maintain the climate of fear and division.
