Fascism Bingo

Note: I wrote this four years ago. Things are not good. The Press is an "enemy of the People." We are 45th in Press Freedom worldwide per Reporters without Borders. Our Press is being assaulted and some murdered by BrownShirts. And Trump is still lying about our Media with help from some of The Press. Who do you believe?

The graphic above comes from Buddy McCue, Renaissance Man. The posters are otherwise from Library of Congress.

The political blogs are full of actions we must take. Article at link proves there is a transcendental connection among us.

I start with my own pet pony(s), Controlled Media and Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts.

I think laughing at the Cheetoh faced shitgibbon is the way to go. Keep in mind always that Authoritarians have no sense of humor or proportion. Or any kind of self control.

Trump is still whining and drooling over Pence being booed at Hamilton. He is demanding an apology from the artists. Trumpolini cannot stand ridicule. He and Pence must be mercilessly ridiculed wherever they go.

All this Trump whining distracts from the news that our POTUS elect is a fraudster. And when the authoritarians are not whining they are publishing fake news. Not to worry. Zuckerburger will save us. 

Artists apologize or get executed under Fascism. They get jobs in a Democracy. The link goes to a collection of Works Progress Administration Posters. Why? They literally shed light as a condition of their existence.

The Committee to Protect Journalists letter in full of which this quote is a a part:

Through his words and actions, Trump has consistently demonstrated a contempt for the role of the press beyond offering publicity to him and advancing his interests.

For this reason CPJ is taking the unprecedented step of speaking out now. This is not about picking sides in an election. This is recognizing that a Trump presidency represents a threat to press freedom unknown in modern history.

We call on Trump to ensure that journalists are able to cover his campaign and his rallies without interference or impediment; to condemn threats against journalists made by his supporters; and to ensure that his statements and actions in the balance of this campaign are consistent with America's First Amendment tradition.
