They are intentionally destroying my country... to enrich the billionaire class!

 ... so says Yale Professor Jason Stanley in his interview with Amanpour and Company's Michel Martin (dated 26 March 2025) and in his very prescient book, Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future..




From Yale professor and bestselling author of How Fascism Works [Jason Stanley], a searing confrontation with the authoritarian right’s efforts to annihilate public education, silence teachers, and use taxpayer money to undo a century of work to advance social justice action on race, gender, sexuality, and class. Combining historical research with an in-depth analysis of our modern political landscape, Erasing History issues a dire warning for America and the worst fascist movements of humanity’s past which began in schools; [...] Yale professor Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the right’s tactics and traces their inspirations and funding back to some of the most dangerous ideas of human history. He shows that hearts and minds are won in our elementary schools, high schools, and universities—and that governments are currently ill-prepared to do the work of uprooting fascist policies being foisted upon our children through school boards, in courtrooms, and in the boardrooms of the companies trusted to train our teachers and create the materials they’ll share with their students. Deeply informed and urgently needed, this book is a vibrant call to action for lovers of democracy worldwide. -- from Goodreads.com

We've known for some time THAT Trump 2.0 was intent on establishing Fascism in America. NOW we have a better idea of how they intend to do so. In other words, attacking the universities and the law firms which challenge the Fascist policies and practices of Trump 2.0.

We've KNOWN (or at least I have been previously able to surmise) that Trump 2.0 is deathly afraid of the American ELECTORATE rising up to challenge them/it.

We NOW know that Trump 2.0 has been silent and backed off when it senses WE the PEOPLE are rising up as such. That is, similar to how during the 2024 election campaign, it/he alluded to but did not explicitly state how or why there would be NO NEED to vote in future elections.

And just within the last couple of days, we've learned of the Trump 2.0 direct attack on the rights of the 50 United States to set their own standards for voting in elections. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes explained in a video with Marc Elias of Democracy Docket how to cut through Trump's Orwellian doublespeak in that particular executive order. 

NOW the challenge for FREEDOM loving America and Americans is to figure out how to do more than to simply react to the overt moves the administration takes each day. Instead, we must figure out how to anticipate moves and both tactically and strategically counter those actions to prevent it from entirely undermining the US Constitution.
