It may take a year or two, but Trump will be gone and the GOP will pay the price for allowing fascism and totalitarianism to blossom and flourish in the USA. Trump, with the sycophantic, opportunistic, cooperation of the GOP has empowered all the most obnoxious elements of American society from the KKK and a multitude of previously marginalised white supremacist groups to the conspiracy theorists, flat earthers and religious fanatics of the hard right and the Neo-Nazis and fascists of Project 2025. This unholy bunch of QAnon lunatics coalesced as MAGA and were united by their hatred of blacks, browns and liberals.
Trump has reached the heights through division and chaos. He deliberately undermined the established order, experts, science, institutions, media and law and order in order to project himself as the only truth and saviour of the world. He personally prospered enormously (wealth and power) out of this unholy alliance.
But he is an old ailing man. He never was either intelligent or learned. He doesn’t read or understand. And he is rapidly declining. His power is waning with his abilities. Soon he will die, be impeached, be locked up for his multitude of crimes, or simply ousted. Soon MAGA will rupture and the GOP will be unelectable for decades. Soon sanity will return.
When Trump is gone and MAGA becomes the rump of illiterate scum it is based around, sanity will return, science and experts will once again be seen as the basis of reason, the media will be freed, institutions (though imperfect) will be valued and stability brought back. Law and order will ensue.
Then there will be a period of accountability. Those in charge, like Kristi Noem and JD Vance, will be brought before the courts. The thugs and goons of ICE and MAGA will be dragged before the courts and tried for their crimes against humanity.
This new swamp will be drained.
Soon Renee Good and Alex Pretti and many more will receive justice and be lauded as the heroes they are!
Soon – justice will be done and we’ll emerge from the dark days of this fascist nightmare. Soon. Soon. Soon.
Nothing has ever been given freely.
Capitalists are happy to see your kids starve and for you to be working 12 hours a day seven days a week so they can buy yachts, penthouses, flashy cars and play with rockets.
I’m proud of the way the working classes fought for their freedoms! About time they started waking up to how they are being robbed by the likes of Farage, Trump and Musk.
I’m just glad that some people are speaking out against what is rapidly becoming a Nazi Police State!!

Small men can’t take criticism! This orange authoritarian fascist needs calling out!
This is what the snivelling orange narcissist had to say when called out by Bruce:
A little rich for a demented old 78-year-old man with orange skin and one brain cell to describe anybody as dumb as a rock with atrophied skin.
I think Bruce got to him!
Good on you Bruce!!
Liberty needs defending!
Fascism needs resisting!
Fuck Trump!!
I’m reading worrying things about what is happening in the USA.
People are being refused entry for posting on-line criticism of Trump!
People are having their phones checked at the border to see if they have put up any negative posts about Trump!
People are being held without trial!
Innocent people are being deported to El Salvador!
Neil Young was concerned as to whether he will be allowed back in!
So much for Free Speech!! Seems that being critical of King Trump, his incompetent crew, massive corruption or policies is enough to get you slammed up!
Hypocrisy rules!!
Freedom of speech = blind obedience to a narrow doctrine!
Anyone who disagrees is WOKE!!
Books are banned. People persecuted, fired and threatened! But hate-speech is OK. Conspiracy, lies and misinformation are OK.
Freedom of speech now means narrow conformity to a system of greed and law-breaking, threats and hatred.
America has become a Dictatorship!
A letter from the Guardian:
I feel as if I am now living in a parallel universe
(Trump calls Zelenskyy a dictator amid fears of irreconcilable rift, 19 February). Trump, who still asserts he won the 2020 election, who asserts that the courts cannot restrict what he does, who bans books he does not like, who tells the FBI and Department of Justice to go after his enemies, who effectively sacks anyone involved in investigating his past nefarious activities, who bans news outlets from White House briefings and who overrules Congress’s funding of aid, tells me Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a dictator. He prefers Vladimir Putin, who, presumably, won his election fairly. It is well beyond satire or parody and should be called out by all British politicians who value democracy.

Woody stood for equality and freedom, an end to racism and fairness for the working man. He would have been appalled by the rise of the greed and selfishness, the ignorance and racism, of the modern-day MAGA movement. Trump and MAGA, with their hate and arrogance, represent everything that Woody stood against.
Long live Woody Guthrie and Phil Ochs and early Dylan!
They wrote songs about injustice. They wrote songs to make the world better! They wrote songs of compassion, empathy and hope!
“I hate a song that makes you think you’re not any good. I hate a song makes you think you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing.
Songs that run you down or songs that poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or your hard traveling.
“I am out to fight those kind of songs to my very last breath of air and my very last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that’ll prove to you that this is your world and that if it’s hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter how hard it’s run you down or rolled over you, no matter what colour, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work.”
