Memories of a Daisy-Picking Goalie<\/strong><\/p>\n

I once watched a small youth soccer game pitting two teams of four and five-year-olds against each other. One of the teams had an aggressive thirty-something buzz-cut white dad coach who egged his team down the field until they somehow managed to nudge the ball though their opponents\u2019 goal posts. Winning was a big deal to him. He was a local Republican and general all-around pain in the ass \u2013 the kind of guy who fouls you a lot during noontime basketball at the Y.<\/p>\n

The other team was coached by a laid-back Democrat, a decent young man with shoulder-length hair and a tie-dye t-shirt. I liked him. For him, the game was about fun and sharing. He\u2019d yell out \u201cgood job\u201d and \u201cgreat kick\u201d whenever one of his kids almost made a decent play. When the other team scored, as it did over and over, he\u2019d call out \u201cnice try\u201d to his goalie, a five-year-old girl who had little idea where the goal was.<\/p>\n

He had to hold back from saying that on the sixth goal, scored while his goaltender sat and picked daisies behind the soccer net.<\/p>\n

After the game, he reminded his charges that it wasn\u2019t about winning or losing but about \u201cdoing your best and working with others.\u201d Which is especially true with nursery schoolers and kindergarteners, which I say even if I as coach would have tried to equip his team to be beaten by 5 to 2 instead of 7 to 0. Mr. Rogers and Dr. Spock would have approved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Inevitable They Will Try\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a cute story from little-kid soccer, where who wins is not the point, or at least shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

Things are different in the nation\u2019s politics, where one of the only two viable party teams, the Republicans, has gone fascist and the other one, the Democrats, regularly \u201cbring a butter knife to a gunfight\u201d (as is sometimes bemoaned even in openly Democratic media outlets like MSNBC).<\/p>\n

Behold the never-ending meekness of the dithering Dems regarding the fascist criminal Donald Trump, still the top Republican presidential contender for 2024. Here we are 20 months out from a flat-out physical coup attempt conducted by this malignant sociopath after multiple \u201cconstitutional\u201d attempts to overthrow the 2020 presidential election failed. Herr Trump just came back to Washington DC for the first time since he boycotted Biden\u2019s inauguration. He\u2019s still selling the big Hitlerian stolen election lie that fueled the January 6th<\/sup> Attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n

The putsch try was telegraphed from the start of Trump\u2019s demented presidency. It was warned about by numerous observers, including Trump insiders like his former \u201cfixer\u201d Michael Cohen<\/a> (who told Congress in February of 2019 of his fear that Trump would never permit a peaceful transfer of power if he lost in 2020) and his former Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor, who published (under the pseudonym \u201cAnonymous\u201d) a 2019 book titled, well, A Warning<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> It was predicted three months into the Trump nightmare by the historian Timothy Snyder, who engaged in the following dialogue with Salon<\/em>\u2019s Chauncy<\/a> de Vega in April of 2017:<\/p>\n

\u201cDe Vega: In your book On Tyranny <\/em>you discuss the idea that Donald Trump will have his own version of Hitler\u2019s Reichstag fire to expand his power and take full control of the government by declaring a state of emergency\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder: \u201cit\u2019s\u00a0pretty much inevitable that they will try<\/em>. The reason I think that is that the conventional ways of being popular are not working out for them. The conventional way to be popular or to be legitimate in this country is to have some policies, to grow your popularity ratings and to win some elections\u2026[but] neither the White House nor Congress have any policies which the majority of the public like\u2026they could be seduced by the notion of getting into a new rhythm of politics, one that does not depend upon popular policies and electoral cycles<\/em>. Whether it works or not depends upon whether <\/em>when something terrible happens to this country, we are aware that the main significance of it is whether or not we are going to be more or less free citizens in the future<\/em>\u2026My gut feeling is that Trump and his administration will try<\/em> and that it won\u2019t work. Not so much because we are so great but because we have a little bit of time to prepare. I also think that there are enough people and enough agencies of the government who have also thought about this and would not necessarily go along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nobody should have been surprised by January 6. It was richly consistent with the violent and authoritarian tone, tenor, and record of the Trump presidency and indeed of the Trump candidacy, which astute commentators easily identified as fascist<\/em> in 2015<\/a> and 2016<\/a>.[1]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rule of Law is Not Self-Enforcing\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s five years and seven months after the orange beast climbed into the world\u2019s most powerful office. It\u2019s two years since it launched a many-sided attempt to overthrow the United States\u2019 surprisingly shaky electoral and rule of law (unmentionably bourgeois) \u201cdemocracy\u201d \u2013 an attack that included the conscious deployment of armed paramilitaries and presidentially approved threats<\/em> to execute then Vice President Mike Pence<\/em>. Well before the US House January 6th<\/sup> committee\u2019s first hearing, it was abundantly clear that Trump had committed at least nine federal felonies<\/a> in connection with his attempted theft\/cancellation of the 2020 election:<\/p>\n

+ Willful destruction of government property (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1361 and 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 2071)<\/p>\n

+ Conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 241)<\/p>\n

+ Depriving state residents of a fair and impartial election process (52 U.S.C. \u00a7 20511[2][B])<\/p>\n

+ Conspiracy to defraud (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 371)<\/p>\n

+ Obstruction of an Official Proceeding (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1512)<\/p>\n

+ Conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 372)<\/p>\n

+ Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C.\u00a7 2384)<\/p>\n

+ Coercion of political activity (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 610)<\/p>\n

+ Interference in Election by Employees of Federal or State Governments (18 U.S.C. \u00a7 595)<\/p>\n

(Trump also committed a bevy of election-related state felonies<\/a>, many the subject of criminal investigation and potential indictment in Fulton County, Georgia.)<\/p>\n

So, like\u2026when does Donald \u201cTake Down the Metal Detectors Because the Guys with the AR-15s Don\u2019t Want to Hurt Me\u201d<\/a> Trump get prosecuted? As the organization Citizens for Ethics argued March<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 48 criminal offenses while serving as President of the United States or campaigning for that office\u2026Despite[this] staggering record\u2026he has not been charged with a single criminal offense\u2026 It is\u2026critical that no individual be insulated from accountability simply because they are a national political figure, a former president or a candidate for public office. Choosing not to pursue accountability for fear of the political criticism or consequences is itself a deeply political act<\/em>\u2026. If Trump avoids criminal prosecution for these potential offenses because prosecutors are unwilling to pursue meritorious and legally justified cases against him, the message to him and future presidents will be clear: you can commit crimes with impunity\u2026The rule of law is not self-enforcing<\/em>\u201d (emphasis added).<\/p>\n

More than 800 individuals have been federal charged in connection with the Capitol Riot, just not its main instigator, who turned from a nonstop Energizer Bunny of election subversion into a mostly quiet television viewer for three-plus hours while his mob attacked \u201cthe citadel of American democracy\u201d \u2013 the US Capitol \u2013 on January 6th<\/sup>. As Congresspersons and his own Vice President fled and hid for their lives, he poured more fuel on the \u201cHang Mike Pence\u201d fire with a provocative Tweet, refused to order a timely deployment of the National Guard, and called Republican Senators to convince them not to certify Biden\u2019s clear Electoral College victory.<\/p>\n

Add Yellow to Blue to Green Light Fascist Consolidation<\/strong><\/p>\n

All these months later, even as the House January 6th<\/sup> hearings (scheduled to resume in September) methodically build a case for indictment \u2013 and even as many of Trump\u2019s Capitol Rioters are being (inadequately) sentenced \u2013 \u201cWe the People\u201d are expected to sit patiently for perhaps six more months while Biden\u2019s sleepy Attorney General Merrick Garland decides \u201cwhether or not Donald Trump committed federal crimes.\u201d Translation:<\/p>\n

+ Decide whether the US ruling class gentleman\u2019s agreement against prosecuting former imperialist commanders-in-chief whose unspoken job description includes regular crimes against humanity and international law still applies in a case where a US president tried to carry out a coup not against a foreign government but against his own imperial state<\/em>.<\/p>\n

+ Decide whether Biden, Garland and other top Dems have the guts to face the fury of the Republi-fascists within and beyond government if they act in accord with rule of law in the homeland at least<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As if not prosecuting Trump and letting him run loose like Hitler after his mild sentence for the Beer Hall Putsch won\u2019t give a big Green Light to more and worse fascist violence going forward. Green is the color produced by mixing Democratic blue with a yellow streak of cowardice. Dear Hollow Men<\/em><\/a> of the dismal, dithering Weimar Dems: appeasement only encourages fascists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My cloudy crystal ball says that Garland picks daisies behind the rule of law net while the Republi-fascists under Trump or Ron DeSantis march steadily toward the goal of full triple-branch and \u201cdeep state\u201d consolidation.<\/p>\n

With its top-dog arch-offender and most of his fellow seditious conspirators avoiding serious punishment (the grinning fascist Steve Bannon is happy to garner fascist street-cred by serving misdemeanor time for giving the January 6th<\/sup> committee the finger) for, you know, trying to \u201coverthrow [unmentionably bourgeois] democracy, the Trump Hall Putsch becomes a big training exercise and object lesson on the path to consolidated fascist state power.<\/p>\n

(Meanwhile, Trump is chomping at the bit to announce for 2024 to make it easier to claim that any prosecution of him is \u201cpolitically motivated\u201d and therefore \u201cillegitimate.\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u201cSchedule F[ascism]\u201d: Deep State Personnel and \u201cRevenge Tour\u201d Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone one who doubts that such consolidation is the Republi-fascist goal needs to read Jonathan Swain\u2019s recent Axios<\/em> reporting<\/a> (based on extensive interviews with dozens of people close to Trump) on how team Trump is planning a complete takeover of the federal government.<\/p>\n

Look back at professor Snyder\u2019s 2017 prophesy (quoted above) that Trump and his party would try a coup that would fail since \u201cthere are enough people and enough agencies of the government who\u2026 would not necessarily go along<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republi-fascists are working hard to fix that. They plan to prevent any repeat obstruction through the resurrection and enforcement of \u201cExecutive Order F\u201d \u2013 a White House directive issued but never much implemented by Trump and then cancelled by Biden. While Trump continues to fixate on the mythical election \u201csteal,\u201d leading Trump Party operatives (falsely described as \u201cconservatives\u201d in mainstream discourse) are busy putting a sinister spin on the political maxim that \u201cpersonnel is policy. As Swain reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cFormer\u00a0President Trump\u2019s\u00a0top allies are preparing to radically reshape the federal government if he is re-elected, purging potentially thousands of civil servants and filling career posts with loyalists to him and his \u2018America First\u2019 ideology\u2026Trump allies are working on plans that would potentially strip layers at the Justice Department \u2014 including the FBI, and reaching into national security, intelligence, the State Department and the Pentagon, sources close to the former president say\u2026During his presidency, Trump often complained about what he called \u2018the deep state.\u2019 The heart of the plan is derived from an\u00a0executive order known as \u2018Schedule F,\u2019\u00a0developed and refined in secret over most of the second half of Trump\u2019s term and launched 13 days before the 2020 election\u2026As Trump publicly flirts with a 2024 comeback campaign,\u00a0this planning is quietly flourishing from Mar-a-Lago to Washington \u2014 with his blessing\u2026 [It] could accelerate controversial policy and enforcement changes, but also enable revenge tours against real or perceived enemies<\/em>, and potentially insulate the president and allies from investigation or prosecution. \u2026 What is happening now is an inversion of the slapdash and virtually non-existent infrastructure surrounding Trump ahead of his 2017 presidential transition. [Right-wing] groups are operating on multiple fronts: shaping policies, identifying top lieutenants, curating an alternative labor force of unprecedented scale<\/em>, and preparing for legal challenges and defenses that might go before Trump-friendly judges, all the way to a 6-3 Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t just about the usual political appointees. It\u2019s about bringing to heel the vast army of officially apolitical civil service professionals who swear allegiance to no party or person but only to the Constitution. (But of course: fascism is among other things about the maximum possible politicization of the state and indeed of life itself, all in subordination to the single reigning party, ideology, and maximal male Leader.)<\/p>\n

A Swain shows, \u201cSchedule F\u201d found its origins in the mind of James Sherk, a Republi-fascist ideologue in Trump\u2019s presidential Domestic Policy Council. Conscious that Trump wanted a tool to threaten to fire federal civil servants who objected to his America\/Trump-First agenda. Sherk found the weapon his master wanted in Section 7511\u00a0of Title 5 of the U.S. Code. As Swain explains:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis section exempts from firing protections employees \u2018whose position has been determined to be of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making or policy-advocating character by the President for a position that the President has excepted from the competitive service.\u2019 It struck Sherk that the language in the Code was not limited to political appointees. The wording was \u2018confidential, policy-determining, policy-making or policy-advocating.\u2019 Nothing, Sherk thought, stops us from putting career employees into this bucket.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cadvanced and ambitious\u201d plan to stock the federal bureaucracy with tens of thousands of paranoid-style palingenetic nationalists is being led by a number of \u201cconservative\u201d organizations linked to former Trump administration operatives like former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Justice Department operative Jeffrey Clark (a putschist clown who Trump nearly made Attorney General in his final days): the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), the Center for Renewing America (CRA), and the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). These \u201cwell-funded groups,\u201d Axios<\/em> reports, \u201care already developing lists of candidates selected often for their animus against the system \u2014 in line with Trump\u2019s long-running obsession with draining \u2018the swamp.\u2019 This includes building extensive databases of people vetted as being committed to Trump and his agenda\u201d <\/em>(emphasis added).<\/em><\/p>\n

A critical lesson that the Amerikaner authoritarians atop these radical (\u201cconservative\u201d) groups and the Trump inner circle have drawn from his 2020 election loss, his unsuccessful attempt to Reichstag Amerika, and his two impeachments: the need to keep \u201cungrateful\u201d and \u201ctreasonous\u201d personnel out of government from top to bottom. They are putting together the mother of all ideological background-checking machines. Everyone in the next Trump or first DeSantis (see below) administration and in Congress is to be evaluated for ideological and personal allegiance.<\/p>\n

The CPI, identified by Swain as \u201cthe hub of the hard right in Washington,\u201d is extending this plan to fill the federal government with far-right ideologues to Congress:<\/p>\n

\u201cCPI\u2019s immediate priority is preparing to put its vetted people\u00a0in new GOP congressional offices at the start of 2023. Over the past five years since CPI\u2019s founding, the group has been adding personnel to a database that now contains<\/em>thousands of names<\/em>. The CPI team is reckoning on Republicans likely winning back the House and possibly the Senate in the November midterms. That would deliver a tremendous staffing opportunity. These anticipated victories could open hundreds of new staff jobs on Capitol Hill next year \u2014 from congressional offices to key committees. CPI\u2019s goal is to have at least 300 fully vetted \u2018America First\u2019 staffers to supply GOP congressional offices after the midterms. These new staffers would theoretically gain valuable experience to use on Capitol Hill but also incubate for a Trump administration in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much of the federal judiciary, including the absurdly powerful US Supreme Court, has already been overtaken by the Christian fascist right, of course. As the Democrats pick daisies behind the goal, the Republi-fascists are marching down the field, going for the full trifecta: executive, legislative, and judiciary, with a reach far down into the middle rungs of each branch\u2019s bureaucracy. These inverted Leninists are doing their homework and planning a full court press not really to smash the \u201cadministrative state\u201d that they love to rail against and \u201cred pill\u201d as Marxist but rather order to take it over and align it completely with the Republic-fascist agenda.<\/p>\n

A chilling indication of how much more \u201chard right\u201d the \u201cconservative\u201d political and policy structure has gone: longtime \u201cfree market\u201d Heritage Foundation\u2019s Trumpy new president Kevin Roberts \u201cplans to spend at least $10 million collaborating with at least 15 conservative groups to build a database of personnel for the next Republican administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the left historian and journalist Terry Thomas says, \u201cFirst term they really didn\u2019t know what they were doing, so the administration was hit and miss; now they\u2019ve had four years to figure it out. Steal the election and then restructure the state to fascist specifications<\/em>. Anyone who doubts the gravity of the current moment needs to read Swain\u2019s reporting\u201d (emphasis added).<\/p>\n

(Though the way things are going for Biden, election theft \u2013 for which Republican maneuvers are already well in play especially at the state-level \u2013 may not even be required.)<\/p>\n

Trump Returns to the Scene of His Crime to Call for Emergency Police State Powers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another thing for fascism-deniers to look at is film of\u00a0Trump\u2019s speech to the AFPI<\/a>\u00a0in Washington last Tuesday.\u00a0 Beyond all the nonsense about the last election, Trump advocated a dystopian future in which he would use urban crime to justify an authoritarian police state under his command.\u00a0 As\u00a0David Frum writes:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cTrump sketched out a vision that a new Republican Congress could enact sweeping new emergency powers for the next Republican president. The president would be empowered to disregard state jurisdiction over criminal law. The president would be allowed to push aside a \u2018weak, foolish, and stupid governor,\u2019 and to fire \u2018radical and racist prosecutors\u2019\u2014racist\u00a0here meaning \u2018anti-white.\u2019 The president could federalize state National Guards for law-enforcement duties, stop and frisk suspects for illegal weapons, and impose death sentences on drug dealers after expedited trials.\u201d This is a classic fascist calling card:\u00a0lawlessness in the name of law and order<\/em>. So much for \u201cstates rights,\u201d a right-wing favorite in different situations.<\/p>\n

DeSantis in the Wings: \u201cA Trump with Far Less Legal and Other Baggage\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

None of this necessarily goes away if Trump gets knocked out of the nomination race by the January 6th<\/sup> hearings, indictments, and intra-Republican feuding. There are signs that this could happen, including new ruptures between Trump and Rupert Murdoch and some FOX News personalities. And, of course, there\u2019s always hope for a long overdue physical collapse. But if Trump is cancelled, politically or biologically, the plan for filling the federal government with America First fascists could easily move from the orange reptile to the arguably more dangerous Florida governor Ron DeSantis.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Republican party adopts an authoritarian political culture and rejects democratic norms and ideals,\u201d the historian and political commentator Ruth Ben-Ghiat notes<\/a>, \u201cthe embrace of extremist ideologies has become a way for ambitious GOP politicians to stand out and capture media attention. Florida, Texas, and other Republican-governed states are becoming\u00a0laboratories\u00a0of American autocracy, passing legislation that institutionalizes homophobia, and racism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowhere is this more true than in Florida, where the \u201cilliberal\u201d and \u201cauthoritarian\u201d (academic Ben-Ghiat\u2019s preferred terms for describing the governor\u2019s fascism[2]<\/strong>) DeSantis has taken brutal aim at civil, gay, transgender, women\u2019s, immigrant, and voting rights, public health, educational freedom, liberals, and the left while assaulting the independence of the state\u2019s legislative and judicial branches. (Among his many \u201cilliberal\u201d policies, DeSantis is turning his state\u2019s educational system into what Henry Giroux calls<\/a> \u201ca feral propaganda tool\u201d for neo-Nazi hyper-nationalism, \u201creplicating pedagogies of repression that were at work in Germany in the 1930s\u201d while \u201cbanning books and critical race theory, requiring educators sign loyalty oaths, and forcing them to post their syllabi online. He has also instituted legislation that restricts tenure and allows students to film faculty classes without consent, and much more.\u201d DeSantis\u2019s latest fascist stunt is granting military veterans and spouses the right to teach<\/a> in Florida schools without educational certification.)<\/p>\n

DeSantis is a boring public speaker who lacks Trump\u2019s sick stand-up stump charisma with the hard-core MAGA base, but he is popular with Republican voters and could well emerge as the MAGA go-to if Trump finally at long last implodes. And he\u2019s a politically dangerous alternative since, as Ben-Ghiat notes, \u201che\u2019s younger and smoother, and at first could seem a more palatable figure\u2013a Trump with far less legal and other baggage.<\/em>\u201d This could win DeSantis a good number of more moderate Republicans who might sit out 2024 or even back Biden if the openly maniacal Trump secured the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n

DeSantis would stand a good chance against the stumbling octogenarian Biden, whose cowardly presidency has proved so uninspiring that 75% of Democrats now want<\/a> their party to run someone else in the next election.<\/p>\n

I expect this essay to elicit the same eye-rolling dismissal I got from a number of white male \u201cMarxist\u201d Trumpenlefties who all-knowingly informed me that \u201cthe ruling class would never let Trump become president\u201d and who still to this day insist the \u201cthe capitalist class won\u2019t permit fascism in the USA.\u201d They might just as well say it: It Can\u2019t Happen Here<\/em>.<\/p>\n
