An open letter to the U.S. Congress

THE VERY DEFINITION OF FASCISM IS HAPPENING HERE IN AMERICA

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

“I did it. I threw a sandwich.” But we can feel safer now that the guy in DC, who was objecting to stormtroopers randomly patrolling and harassing his city by lobbing a sub at a CBP agent, has been arrested and charged with felony assault. It sounds funny. But it absolutely is not. It used to be if you wanted to see guys with assault rifles on every corner you went to Mexico. Now you only have to walk out your front door right here in America. Random traffic stops ostensibly for violations such as no seat belt or broken headlights or whatever. The real point is to check immigration status, we all know that. The real point is to intimidate. To terrorize. To exhibit the full force of America’s power against her own citizens. To convince the population it is useless to resist. “Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. It emphasizes a centralized autocracy, militarism, and a belief in a natural social hierarchy. Fascism typically rejects enlightenment ideals, democratic liberalism, communism, and socialism.” Fascism has come to America whether you and yours want to acknowledge it or not. It’s happening right now, every day, whether you acknowledge it or not. And you are cooperating with it all whether you acknowledge it or not. And we the people see this to be true. We know this to be true. This period in history will be seen as a time when America succumbed to its worst instincts. Led by a president who has no guardrails, either in moral character or, increasingly, under the law. Aided and abetted every step of the way by the law and order GOP Congress. By elected officials who have abdicated responsibility to their country and constituents in favor of a two-bit tacky grifter, cognitively-challenged, uneducated, willfully ignorant relic of the past called Donald Trump. You keep ignoring us. So it’s left to a guy throwing a sandwich to try and make it all stop. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro said in a video statement posted on X that her office was prepared to support law enforcement. “He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged him with a felony: assault on a police officer. And we’re going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else,” Pirro said. Must have been a helluva sandwich. Where was Jeanine and her outrage about assault on police officers on January 6? You and your lot are defiling our country. And there’s not enough rewriting of history that can ever make that not true.
