Regime

It’s the same extreme nativist scare used forever in this country to move public opinion to the right edge of the world.

1798, 1854, 1917-20, 1947-54, now, right now.

It is to ask, to say, “Are you now or have you ever been?” with all the terror that implies, means, and is brought home with massive bullying, lying, and cheating. Cheating who? You.

It is the old filth from what Magacans, the former Republicans who now rule through this cowardly, ignorant regime. They own the White House. They own the Congress.

Mark it well. There are no longer any Republicans.

There are only Magacans.

And, mark you, this is not an administration. No, it is not.

It is a regime.

Fascist Italy, The Third Reich, Bolshevik Russia/the U.S.S.R., Russia, and the Chinese People’s Republic today are not/were not administrations. In history, or now, they were regimes. They were, they are regimes.

Now one asserts itself in the United States of America as a Congress in March 2025 as compliant as the Reichstag made itself in March 1933, rolls over, submitting like a mangy dog.

This is why the opposition is flailing and failing. It still fails to understand that this is not an administration but what it intended, a regime, the only one to be allowed.

Like all such, this is a dark, evil, regime of the criminal, the wicked, the ignorant, and emotionally crippled like Musk spreading its/ stain across the present; spreading its stain across the map of America, across international boundaries, charters, and treaties, across decency, kindness and against, over and over and over again, wickedly and cruelly against “…a decent respect to the opinions of mankind…”

  1. I’m reading Barbara Kingsolver’s novel “Lacuna,” which is about a boy with a Mexican mother and American father, who grows up (as a cook and typist) in the home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera (and later, Trotsky and family). As an adult, living in Ashville, NC he becomes an award winning novelist. He’s also a gay man who has never “come out” publicly. He himself is apolitical, but in the final section, his publisher reluctantly tells him he has to sign a loyalty oath for his new book to be published. It’s during the McCarthy craziness, and your description of where we are now is almost an exact parallel.
