I am tired this morning and have lots of work to do so this will be brief. I did want to point out that our ‘illustrious’ leader, Donald Trump, once again has no idea what he is talking about. Yesterday he was in Minnesota for one of his rallies and he was railing against the democrats and threatening that Biden would “replace American freedom with left wing fascism.” I few weeks ago I wrote in this blog about a book that I read, Fascism: A Warning, by Madeleine Albright, a former Secretary of State, so I have some familiarity with the term ‘fascism’. Perhaps I should send my copy to the White House. Fascism is a form of far-right nationalism – but then again, when have facts ever mattered to Trump?
You don’t have to take my word for it. The definition below is from Merriam-Webster.
Definition of fascism
1often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
The definition is obviously more descriptive of Trump than Biden, but we all know that in ‘Trumpland’, facts don’t matter. It is extremely distressing to have a president is so supremely ignorant and abysmally unqualified for the job. He needs to go back to his reality TV shows. Which leads me to what I will end with today. The column below appeared in the Bozeman Chronicle this morning and I can only say that I couldn’t agree more.
