Our country was never a fascist country, so the concept is foreign to most of us. However, that is changing. Fascist regimes aggressively abuse their citizens, strip them of everything that makes them them, including their right to free thought and expression, and then rule over them with an iron fist. Fascism is a filthy word, because it means the demoralization and totalitarian control of human beings by other human beings who think they are better than everyone else, and therefore have the right to control everyone else. If you think fascism is not taking hold in our country, think again! It’s not only taking hold, it’s gaining momentum. Why? Because not enough people are taking the time out of their busy schedules to push back against it. An extremely perilous proposition.
I will now give you a perfect example of fascism happening right here in New York. What happened? There was a NYC Fire Department (FDNY) event last week where NYS Attorney General Letitia James came to speak, but when she came to the mic, the crowd burst out in boos and then started chanting “Trump, Trump, Trump…” Everyone is likely well aware of the witch hunt James has been pursuing against President Trump in her attempt to not only bankrupt the man, but to try to keep him from being able to run this year for President. I won’t get into the details of that saga, but I will say this: love or hate Trump, doesn’t matter - what James is doing to him should deeply disturb all Americans. Relentless persecution fueled by political agendas. If they can do it to a former President of the United States, you should shudder to imagine what they can do to you or one of your loved ones.
So, here comes the fascism… In response to the event, the FDNY is now literally hunting down the members who were booing James and chanting “Trump.” What will they do with those FDNY members who exercised their First Amendment right to free speech? I don’t know all that they plan to do, but for certain they said they want to “educate” them on how to think, how to not voice their opinions or speak freely.
The FDNY is admitting in black and white that they want to control the members’ thoughts and resulting speech! Gets worse… the department’s written correspondence says members who witness their colleagues behaving in a manner the FDNY doesn’t approve of should “STOP IT” (meaning help the FDNY silence members from their right to free speech)!
