I Told You So

There comes a time in every woman’s life when she must admit she was absolutely, completely and one hundred percent right about American fascism under the Klepto Kaiser, and today I’m prepared to take that plunge. Combining a recap of my prior writing, a savage “I told you so” to my critics, and a brief rebuttal to counterfactual arguments being pushed on the crypto-libertarian, contrarian “left,” I close off (hopefully) the Trump-inspired chapter of our ongoing study of Americanized Fascism; and warn about the incoming era of neoliberal authoritarianism as well – which is itself merely another flavor of fascism. Continuing in the theme of our last No Fugazi Podcast episode, this offering on Can’t You Read demonstrates that there are plenty of ribbons of shame to go around, but in particular, it’s long past time time for the ex-Ron Paul bros among us to give up the ghost and stop shuffling for cracker fascist chuds on social media.

“In light of the fact that Trump is in fact a fascist, did in fact try to declare his political enemies terrorists, did in fact try to turn the army, Homeland Security, and chud vigilantes on those who opposed him, did in fact attempt to rig and then invalidate an election, and ultimately did inspire a chud insurrection designed (poorly) to overturn the results of that election, please allow me to declare complete and total victory while metaphorically asking my twitchy critics how my butt tastes. I could go on, but when you’ve left your opponents crying on Twitter about how the Apple Store de-platforming Parler is the real fascism, it’s best to just take the win gracefully and walk away from that wreckage.”
