During this election cycle, what did we see coming out of the Republican Party and in particular Donald Trump? We saw an entire campaign that during its closing message, they called it the 90 days of rage and what were the references that they pulled from in this 90 days of rage to motivate their base to come out and vote for them?
t and covert callbacks to the:And that message was even more focused on immigrants poisoning the blood of the [00:01:00] country. You had all sorts of conspiracy theories designed to animate the racist white Republican base into coming out in force and also suppressing anybody that might be.
Challenging them at the ballot box.
So you had an entire campaign that ran like that. And then you saw the Madison square garden event, which was a direct call back to one of the rallies that happened in New York before world war two kicked off. That was an effort of the American Nazi party to build a stronghold in the U S and the Trump campaign used that as their closing message before heading to the polls.
MAGA played it off as if it [:You've seen people. Throughout the administration that have deep ties to far right and white nationalists organizations. You have Kash Patel, who's an election denier. You have Pete Hegseth, who is a white nationalist, and he's got tattoos all over himself that calls out in dog whistles to that audience.
And you have. Elon Musk repeatedly giving a platform to far right fringe candidates and far right ideologies on his Kremlin bot infested disinformation swamp of a social media platform. And that's just over the first handful of weeks.

We've seen the militarism get ramped up recently with the call for purges and the implementation of loyalists within the administration and threats both near and far on invasion to various allies of ours. And the third part ties in with the second part where you're talking about expansionism as well.
ographic that they are going [:And if that wasn't enough, here's what's happened in just the last handful of days,
you've had Donald Trump make a direct call out using phraseology that was very similar to what Hitler used by saying, he who saves the country does not violate the law. If that doesn't indicate to you. That we are dealing with somebody that is going faster and faster into authoritarianism and fascism.
I don't know what will. Hitler made a similar quote during his administration. The authority of the Fuhrer is not limited by laws or statutes.
And how have we seen this administration respond to the judicial and occasional legislative roadblocks that have been put in front of them? They're completely ignoring that.

That sets a pretty stark picture of what we're dealing with, doesn't it?
But wait, there's more.
If all of that didn't convince you that we are dealing with what is a growing effort to bring forward the fourth Reich. Here's what just happened in Germany. J. D. Vance went to Germany and is unofficially campaigning, for the AFD. And the AFD is a political party that draws a direct line to Hitler's Nazi party.

Is a call to arms for every white nationalist fringe group across the world to mobilize and take over their systems of government to bring in that fourth Reich. We could chalk up any one of these things as a one off or or an overreaction, but there is a clear pattern of behavior that's been developed over the last several years coming out of the Republican Party.

These were all things that were Engineered Kremlin by the Kremlin's efforts to deploy active measures and destabilize their adversaries and consolidate the former Soviet states back under the Russian umbrella.
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
They're indirect and asymmetrical warfare efforts using bot farms and election influence and paying off allies to their cause feeding right through conservative circles across the European and international landscape. It's winning.

What it's going to require to head this off, because if we don't avoid this, if we keep going on this trajectory, there's going to be a death toll in the millions across the world as a result of this.
It's going to require every citizen to mobilize and understand what's going on. and realize sooner than later that all of their promises of a better world It's not for you. When you look at what the Trump vision for a great America looks like, they're doing callbacks right back to the gilded age. And that was a period in American history that was very dark.

All the billionaires got together and did what they could to maximize their assets to the expense of everybody else.
So this is where we need to understand history on a couple of different eras and recognize that the vision for the New World Order does not include 99 percent of us average Joes all across the world.
.:So this is when we need to understand what the stakes are and understand that sitting down and just taking it and hoping that it ignores you is not a winning strategy.
