Just one more in a long line of things these fascist thickets are going to fail at.

It should always have been obvious to us as we looked down the lens of an authoritarian fascist near future, that like with everything else Trump touches, he was bound to fuck it up. If the far right that surround Trump understood, or had any skills in leadership and governance at all, it may have been too late by November to save the republic. But we can be thankful today, as we bear witness to the power of the people, that they are about as competent at authoritarianism as they are at governing. This is because they are a bunch of no hopers who in any other administration would last about 30 seconds before being fired. Not only are they that incompetent, they have blown the whole far right wet dream game of being a totalitarian state, with only people just like them in charge, by being so transparent in their aims – subtle is not in their vocabulary – and when you are trying to pull of a coup you need to be slightly more delicate than tear gassing peaceful protesters and putting the army on the streets of DC – all that has done is piss off a whole load of people who thought the protests had nothing to do with them, but know that the 2nd Amendment should be stinviolable and the army on the streets in America should never be a thing.

We all hold heart with the protesters that by virtue of standing firm in this moment, show they are unwilling to stand by while America slips into authoritarianism or outright fascism, and Trump and his cabal have been held in check, in part, because of this. But the truth of the matter is that when you surround yourself with fascist yes men and sycophants, and you have a below average IQ, whatever you think you are plotting and planning – you are going to fuck it up, because you are that stupid. It is horrid for the people of America right now but however much they try to destroy democracy, the evidence of the last few days shows us that this attempted coup by a far right president is just one more in a long line of things these fascist thickets are going to fail at.
