Congressman Ken Buck, a Republican from Weld County, says his office in Windsor will soon be forced to move after receiving an eviction notice. Buck, a longtime resident of Weld County, received an eviction notice from his Water Valley office space.
A spokesperson for Buck said the eviction notice was given as a result of Buck’s refusal to vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Buck also told reporters he received death threats due to his voting against Jordan for the position which would put Jordan second in line for the presidency.
You fundamentally misunderstand fascism.
Reminds me of a story I read visiting a war museum in Germany. After the first world war, German veterans were treated badly. They were blamed for the loss. So this guy in Dresden starts a charity to help them. Gains a lot of support. Becomes popular. Then the nazis come along. They promise to help veterans and are popular with veterans. So like many veterans, this guy joins the nazi party. Loyal supporter from the early days. True believer. Raises money for them. Continues to do charity work and supports the nazi party. Does his bit and helps them gain power and win the elections locally.
So they killed him and burn down the headquarters of his charity. Because loyalty is not enough.
Fascists hold those beneath them in contempt. They are chauvinists who hate the weak. They despise their followers, because they are loyal and perceive this as weakness. Because they allowed themselves to be subjugated by the leader.
You know who hates Donald Trump’s supporters the most? Donald Trump. NYT:
The whole fascist enterprise is a sado-masochistic pyramid. People licking the boot in adoration, who get to put the boot on those below them in the pyramid, and despise those below them in the pyramid.
