Right wing politicians need to be eliminated every election if fascism is to be defeated. The Ramones wrote
"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" to commodate Reagan saluting SS nazis.

#GoldenDome: #SpaceX will #US-Raketenabwehr bauen. Klingt wie #Reagan's gescheitertes #StarWars Programm. Was sagt #Doge zu dieser Verschwendung?

Day 20 
️
“spin-off of the US-based #CPAC – short for Conservative Political Action Conference – the #Sydney-based outfit described itself as a “values-based” organisation that “espouses the best of #Howard, #Reagan and #Thatcher while exploring new ideas and themes for the coming generations”.
Guests at the August event included #OneNation senator Pauline Hanson, Michelle Pearse, the CEO of the #AustralianChristianLobby, and broadcaster and soon-to-be alleged sex offender, #AlanJones.
Overseas talent included Jay Aeba, chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union and Heather Wilson, mother of six and co-founder of #GiveSendGo, a #Christian #crowdfunding network which has helped raise money for #NeoNazis and #AntiVaxxers”
“Then, in 2018, investment banker and long-time #ClimateConspiracist Maurice Newman, billionaire storage king Sam Kennard, and David Adler, of the #FarRight Australian Jewish Association (AJA), got together to form #AdvanceAustralia. Money was no problem: #HedgeFund manager and #Liberal Party donor Simon Fenwick tipped in $190,000; a further $400,000 came from Sydney #Establishment couple Rodney and Judith O’Neil, and the Taylor #winemaking family.
Advance pitched itself as a champion of the #SilentMajority – #HowardsBattlers 2.0. But its real concerns were better expressed by another early backer, #hotelier James Power, who was then engaged in a battle to prevent women from becoming members of #Brisbane’s #Tattersall’s Club.”
If you noticed a darker turn to the election this week, here’s a good explanation of the WHY and HOW. Also I see Tony 
got a new job.

@knittingknots2 A key element of #Reagan 's political success was that he let everyone know that taxes have a sweet spot. When you increase the tax rate higher, #tax #revenue declines.
Of course Reagan did not use that knowledge to optimise for tax revenue, but that is a different story.
Today, we see someone avers to knowledge inflicting randomly extreme taxes on his own people. Fodder for so many PHDs, reason for so many bankruptcies. #tariffs
He speaks from the heart!
IMO, #neoliberalism and #libertarianism were justified for a maximum of about 5-10 years in the era of #Kohl, #Thatcher and #Reagan, when e.g. the so called “Deutschland AG” had to be broken up.
Instead of dying afterwards, the ideology mutated into a delusion, enslaved people, created monopolies, plundered natural resources, murdered, putsched and invaded other countries “when needed”.
#Trump and his #fascism are just the visible fruiting body of this deadly fungus.

For the first time since the start of his second term, #Trump hit 50% #disapproval in #VoteHub's #polling #aggregation today. https://votehub.com/polls/
Presidents have come back from this. #Reagan bottomed out at something like 30% early in his first term, and then of course won re-election in a landslide. But Trump doesn't have that kind of political acumen.
If we have anything resembling a fair #election, 2026 will be a bloodbath, and I'm willing to bet 2028 as well. If we don't, well, it will be a bloodbath of a different kind.
the clip of glasgow hero, cathy rutherford, reacting to thatcher's death made me wonder if she had a US counterpart when reagan died. if she did, that person was not at the 2004 MTV movie awards. pack of bootlickers (apart from, maybe, kate beckinsale).

Gee.
I missed this one.
"Trump to stop enforcement of law banning #bribery of foreign officials"
#Republicans welcome the quid pro quo, it's how the #GOP has operated since #Reagan's administration.

@peterrenshaw I would think he would avoid the risk and just keep on rockin' in the free world. But maybe #Reagan was right that if US fails as a beacon of freedom, freedom everywhere is in jeopardy.
>> Before #Reagan, a lot more citizens hated #Republicans than today, especially those who suffered through Hoover"s #GreatDepression. None of those folks are alive to explain to the younger generations how horrible #trickleDown austerity is.
#PeaceConstant is 3 generations max, ~90 years in modern times.
Every few generations, humans make new mistakes that resemble old mistakes, and the next generation has to relearn hard lessons about peace and prosperity.
One argument often leveled against #anarchy is the old "How do you stop bad people from taking power?" gambit.
Well, uhmm...how do parliamentary democracies in tandem with capitalism stop bad people from grasping power?
Today in Labor History March 28, 1977: AFSCME Local 1644 struck in Atlanta, Georgia, for a pay raise. This local of mostly African American sanitation workers saw labor and civil rights as part of the same struggle. They saw their fight as a continuation of the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike. For several years, they organized to get black civil rights leaders elected to public office. They succeeded in getting their man, Maynard Jackson, elected mayor of Atlanta. After all, as vice mayor, Jackson had supported their 1970 strike. Yet, in his first three years as mayor, he refused to give them a single raise. Consequently, their wages dropped below the poverty line for a family of four. Jackson accused AFSCME of attacking Black Power by challenging his authority. He fired over 900 workers by April 1 and crushed the strike by the end of April. Many believe this set the precedent for Reagan’s mass firing of 11,000 air traffic controllers during the PATCO strike, in 1981.
