Trump vs. DeSantis in 2024? Republican litmus test is brutality https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-vs-desantis-2024-republican-litmus-test-brutality-rcna67979

As he seeks a return to power in 2024, Trump has already pivoted to brutality and
long cultivated cruelty as a political weapon. But he has not confined his cruelty to mere rhetoric.

For #TraitorTrump this is not new His enthusiasm for violence — including torture, extra-judicial murder and shooting both migrants and protesters has been his politics for years #PoliticalViolence #MAGAfacism #GOPterrorists

Trump Isn’t Our Biggest Problem: It’s the Authoritarian Fascist Movement He Launched https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-isnt-our-biggest-problem-its?publication_id=302288&post_id=73893520&isFreemail=true

"The American media needs to call this movement what it is, fascism, and demand accountability and answers from the thousands of Republican politicians nationwide who refuse to repudiate it...

Reporters for TPM obtained text messages between Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows (formerly a Tea Party congressman) and 34 Republican members of Congress advocating stragegies to end democracy in America by keeping Trump in office after he lost the 2020 election.
...
Meanwhile, a new poll shows 61 percent of Republicans have abandoned Trump, but not because they object to his brutality or lawlessness; they’re just largely concerned that he can’t win elections in the future in part because he may end up in prison.

This increasingly includes the 128 members of Congress, 10 of them US Senators, who voted to end American democracy on January 7th, 2021.

So, they’re jumping on the DeSantis train, a man largely indistinguishable from Trump when it comes to supporting cruel, racist, white male supremacist policies.

This is happening because Trump launched a modern-day authoritarian fascist movement, with the help and encouragement of Putin and a handful of American and foreign billionaires.

And the authoritarian-follower Americans who first embraced Trump are now looking for the next leader of that movement.

The big mistake so many political observers make is assuming that Trumpism is all about Trump. It’s not.

It’s all about a 21st century American version of authoritarian fascism.
...
Arnold Toynbee, it is said, argued that every 80 years or so America repeats its greatest political mistakes, and must learn that lesson through mass death because 80 years is the rough span of human life.

“When the last man who remembers the horrors of the last great war dies,” he’s often quoted as saying, “the next great war becomes inevitable.”

Similarly, when the last Americans who fought fascism die out, the next authoritarian fascist movement is certain to emerge, leading us back to the struggle to maintain democracy.
...
Politicians and newspapers who’d spotted the rise of authoritarian fascism in the old South and in the 1930s America First movement tried to warn the country about the dangers of rising fascism here and abroad.

In both cases they failed and war broke out.

And now, roughly 80 years after World War II, here we are again.

The question this time is whether, in an era of mass media and the internet, that infrastructure will be used to strengthen and spread today’s new fascism, or will succeed in awakening and alerting the American people.

It isn’t about Republican versus Democrat; it’s about authoritarian fascism versus democracy in our republic.
...
If authoritarian fascism isn’t defeated now it will certainly tear our nation apart, will accelerate the growth of fascism around the world, and end the American experiment with representative republican democracy.

Its support and funding from within the senior levels of American industry (particularly fossil fuels and finance) also means its successes damage humanity’s ability to deal with serious crises like climate change, disease, and poverty.
...
This is a critical moment for American media to stop handling this movement with kid gloves and start calling it what it is: fascism. And to begin demanding accountability and answers from the thousands of Republican politicians nationwide who refuse to repudiate it."

Veteran sociologist Frances Fox Piven fears the US may still 'become a fascist country' - Alternet.org https://www.alternet.org/2022/11/kari-lake-2658779795/

"Many Trump critics have emphasized that the United States dodged a major bullet on Election Night. But according to veteran sociologist Frances Fox Piven, the U.S. isn’t out of the woods yet and still has the potential to slide into fascism.

During an interview with The Guardian, Piven, now 90, warned, “I don’t think this fight over elemental democracy is over by any means. The United States was well on the road to becoming a fascist country, and it still can become a fascist country.”

According to Piven, the fact that so many MAGA election denialists lost statewide races in the 2022 midterms doesn’t mean that they are going to give up on their efforts to move the U.S. in a more authoritarian direction.

Piven told The Guardian, “There is the crazy mob, MAGA; an elite that is oblivious to what is required for political stability; and a grab-it-and-run mentality that is very strong, very dangerous. I was very frightened about what would happen in the election, and it could still happen.”

The veteran sociologist pointed to the attack on Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and MAGA reactions to it as an example of the type of violence the far right is capable of in the U.S.

“This crazy man broke into the Pelosi home and attacked an 82-year-old man with a hammer, broke his skull,” Piven told The Guardian. “And there were actually politicians speaking to a mass audience and laughing at it. As thinking people, we don’t pay enough attention to the human lust for cruelty. We are at a point in American politics where those aspects of our nature are being brought to the fore; Trump has been doing that for a very long time, and we have to stop it, or else it will continue to grow"
