The dark night of fascism has finally landed in the United States
By Andrea Widburg

Tom Wolfe famously quipped, “The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe.” Certainly, that was the case during the Trump presidency, when leftists insisted he was Hitler, yet were unable to point to a single instance in which he’d engaged in conduct actually associated with fascists. However, in the topsy-turvy world that is 2021, Wolfe’s saying has been turned on its head. With the advent of the Biden administration, America is heading into a purely fascist future. Meanwhile, Europeans are insistently demanding freedom, whether it’s generals and other civil servants pushing back against Critical Race Theory and Islam, or ordinary people singing and dancing in the streets.

In America, people who committed a misdemeanor by entering the Capitol without permission are still rotting in jail in solitary confinement without ever having had a hearing. The situation is so dire and un-American that Senators Elizabeth Warren and Dick Durbin, both proponents of total government, protested:

Quote

    Most of the 300-plus people charged with participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot have been released while they await trial, but dozens of those deemed to be dangerous, flight risks or at high risk of obstructing justice were ordered held without bond. D.C. jail officials later determined that all Capitol detainees would be placed in so-called restrictive housing — a move billed as necessary to keep the defendants safe, as well as guards and other inmates. But that means 23-hour-a-day isolation for the accused, even before their trials begin.

    And such treatment doesn't sit well with Warren or Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), two of the chamber's fiercest critics of solitary confinement.

    “Solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging,” Warren said in an interview. “And we’re talking about people who haven’t been convicted of anything yet.”

Executive Orders, Budget Reconciliation, and Activist courts have replaced the Legislative Process as prescribed in the U.S. Constitution.

Radical Liberal Democrats have the Revolutionary mentality that "the ends justify the means."  That is contrary to the design of our Constitutional Federal Republic built upon "the ends must rise to being worthy of the means."

They are so short-sighted, they forget that a pendulum can swing both ways.  Every Constitutional practice they end-around is just another weapon for Republicans to use when they regain power.

The greatest threat to the US is martial law necessitated by Civilian institutions' ineptitude, unwillingness, and willful blindness to solve or prevent crisis.
