“Crack-Up #Capitalism”: #Historian #QuinnSlobodian on #Trump, #Musk & the Movement to “Shatter” the State

#DemocracyNow, February 20, 2025

"Who are the minds behind #DOGE, and what do they really believe? Historian Quinn Slobodian says three strains of #conservatism have converged to form the second Trump administration’s #AntiDemocratic coalition: finance-backed #CorporateInterests previously friendly to the #DemocraticParty, #ChristianConservative think tanks who have long advocated for the end of the administrative state, and the online-driven movement of reactionary extremists who traffic in #WhiteSupremacist and #NeoNazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, says Slobodian, 'Trump is a person who doesn’t believe in much, but he believes in #money,' leaving him willing to enact the political visions of these three #ProCapitalist projects. Slobodian, an expert in German history, also discusses the connections between the Trump sphere and Germany’s far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD) party, supported by Musk and Vice President #JDVance.'"

Decades and decades in the making. I used to have to recite this pledge to the Christian flag every week in the 80s and 90s. It escalated dramatically since then.

"I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Saviour for whose Kingdom it stands; one Saviour, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty to all who believe."

Once more, a fine example of that wholesome, inclusive, compassionate, kind love that #Christians are well known for.

How about that? All those "Latino evangelicals for the most part voted Republican and hold conservative views" suddenly finding the leopard will eat their face. Thus the #CosmicJoker laughs. Blessed be the #DivineHumor

"Wyoming Republicans’ anti-abortion bill targets chemotherapy and surgeries"

Written by another graduate of the #MAGAmoron #fundie_vangie school of medicine. Every medical procedure has pros and cons. The trick is to ensure the pros outweigh the cons. These #christofascists need a lesson in remedial logic.

Just a small sampling of the fine, wholesome, upstanding "independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers and content creators” the White House is welcoming.

Now, if I apply, I bet I won't get it. Wonder why.
