I know many people who voted for the current POTUS. Family, friends, colleagues.
All for a variety of different reasons, all supporting this piece of POTUS agenda but not that piece, or vice versa, or whatever. Not that they’d ever give full-throated support for fascism.
Or maybe they would.
I don’t know, even people we love can be manipulated into supporting the wrong things. 🤷
Anyway, this post is for them:
You – my friends, my family, my colleagues – want what’s best for the USA. I get that. I, and many other sane, rational people who are alarmed by the changes promised and so far made by POTUS and his party, want what’s best for the USA too.
We need to extend that assumption of good faith to each other.
You think the next four years are going to make the USA a better country. I get that too. But what I, and many other sane, rational critics of POTUS agenda, believe is that – despite the promises of a meritocracy – the next four years are going to see a radical increase of state and corporate power over the lives of Americans, organized along religious and racial lines.
We’ll see whose prediction of the next four years is more on target:
Either four years will go by leaving Americans more free and prosperous than ever before,
Or long before then – perhaps very soon – the mask will come off and you’ll see the agenda for what it is.
As of now, my plan is – alongside my poems, my prayers, my musings, my Torah, my Zionism – to keep publicly sharing my thoughts on POTUS, his party, Project 2025, and neoreaction, because I think the other shoe has finally dropped and it’s time to start making targeted, strategic critiques of the situation in America, specifically from the viewpoint I’ve reached over the last 20 years. I don’t plan on playing any partisan games or foaming at the mouth at every trigger, but do expect to see some particular opinions and criticisms expressed, just as I have my opinions and criticisms of Israeli politics.
Trust: It’s not TDS. It’s just a critical viewpoint reached after years of researching POTUS and his funders, allies, and advisors.
If at any point along this ride over the coming weeks and months you would like to have a private conversation with me about my concern regarding the rise of American fascism, or your own growing doubts about the political movement you’ve bought into, message me and we’ll set up a time for a FB call. No need to worry about trolls or the like on a public post jumping on your @$$ for how you voted in any of the past elections.
If and when you want to have an open discussion about the other perspective on POTUS agenda – let’s talk.
Never too late to change your mind.
