Jounalists are the last bulwark against fascism

It’s early Sunday morning and in the shadow of the White House Correspondents Association’s cowardice and after an initial scan of the news, some thoughts came to mind. As we know, words can be powerful, have meaning and consequences. All the reporting on Trump from any media not already captured by the right-wing power structure needs to change the way we/they’re writing about Trump. Instead of writing "Trump did xxxx," the phrasing should change to some form of this: “Trump, following the orders of his overlords did .…”

The same construction should be used with any administration official, including Elon Musk, as needed. Before you jump on me for being subjective and inaccurate, take into account these realities:

The “flooding the zone” executive orders were queued up well in advance of the 2024 election as part of Project 2525. Whether Trump lied that he knew about Project 2525 is irrelevant because the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society and ALEC had already done the heavy lifting.

The reason Trump won the 2016 election was not only the Democrats’ long-term fecklessness, but also because of the deals made to get Mike Pence on the ticket. This has been documented. Why wouldn’t a similar wash-rinse-repeat be far fetched?

It doesn’t matter if you believe Musk’s cybercrimed to steal the election. What we really need to know is how the Democratic Party leadership have failed the progressives of this country for 70 years.

While the WHCA fell over from a light verbal breeze from the White House, I know other journalists are working hard to protect the Fourth Estate — the one institution protected by the First Amendment. It’s no accident the Founders set up our Constitution this way. Looking at the political landscape now, the media and its brave practitioners are the last bulwark against a Fascist takeover of our country.unday morning and in the shadow of the White House Correspondents Association’s cowardice and after an initial scan of the news, some thoughts came to mind.
