Price of Prejudice
Bigots who
voted Trump to satisfy their Christian white supremacy urges are now
witnessing the culmination of the hate campaign against Obamacare. For
the bigots on Medicaid,
this is the test of their loyalty to Trump. Will they happily surrender
the health insurance their families depend on, or will they put
self-interest first?
After announcing his plan to abandon the disabled, the working poor, and the elderly, Trump’s approval rating dropped to 37%. Even a Republican member of Congress can read those tea leaves.
The
GOP split with Trump over cutting public health infrastructure goes to a
vote in Congress today. This is a test of Paul Ryan’s ability to push
through brutal austerity laws under the model of his fascist mentor in
Chile, Jose Pinera. Ironically, the deciding factor won’t be public
protests by liberals, but rather the reaction of the radical right.

Path of Least Resistance
As the
driving force of American fascism and the subverting instrument of
capitalism, respectively, the Christian Right and the NPIC combine to
deprive pro-democracy citizens of a voice in public affairs. Resisting
the fascist movement in the US thus requires an understanding of the
religious right and the non-profit industrial complex. Research on these
tools of social engineering is extensive, but popular education is
largely absent.
Organizing
by the Wall Street-funded NPIC of a so-called “resistance” epitomizes
the absurdity of American ignorance about public affairs, and suggests
that ineffective public gestures such as marches and protests will
continue to dominate communication and journalism on the topic.
Communicating social transformation, on the other hand, will take a lot
more effort and engagement with social and public institutions.
Conducting
opposition research, attending public meetings, taking over state and
local Democratic Party organizations, and volunteering with grassroots
human rights groups is tiring, but it is the only way to change things
for the better. Becoming a mindless follower of Wall Street-funded
non-profits that coordinate campaigns and choreograph events leads to
more of the same.
The
Christian Right has tirelessly followed the formula for success for
forty years now, and has succeeded in putting their man in the White
House as Vice President — one heartbeat away from the Oval Office. With
dreams of a fascist theocracy within reach, their demands to promote
bigotry and to punish the poor are already on the Congressional agenda.
Fighting such horrors by wearing silly outfits and wielding slogans is
simply ridiculous.
Due
to cowardice, laziness, and widespread ignorance, most concerned
citizens will opt for the path of least resistance — signing petitions,
putting bumper stickers on their cars, or donating to a campaign. The
fascists, meanwhile, are counting on them to surrender without a fight.

Saga of the Centuries
There are two motivational forces and associated
social movements that dominate discourse in US social media, and, despite this
overwhelming dominance, they are little understood. A convergence of
anthropology and documentary film could help to improve popular understanding
of this aspect of communication, consciousness and social engineering, but
until this happens, nothing will change. Consequently, both Christian Identity
and Pagan Socialism continue to generate misguided protagonists in the ongoing saga of the centuries.
