North Carolina is a purple state, generally speaking. Trump won by a razor-thin margin here. Out of 5.6 million votes, just 150k difference. And as angry as I am that those electoral votes ended up going to Trump, sh*tting on the rest of us is a pretty MAGA-like move.

If you're expecting authoritarianism in the U.S. to look like pre-Cold War fascism in Mussolini's Italy or Franco's Spain, not to speak of, in the words of Thom Hartmann, the "death cult" of Hitler's Nazi Germany, you may overlook the kind of fascism that has made its first inroads in the U.S. now.

Jimi Wilson @jimi45.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

I believe that it's now appropriate to apply Lucan Way and Steven Levitsky's notion of "competitive authoritarianism," as laid out in their book "Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes after the Cold War" (2010, Cambridge University Press), to the United States today.

I've been a Trad Skinhead since 1988, and it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I've met a lot of Boneheads who *ahem* fall a little short of Hitler's ideal Aryan. (Of course, even the Third Reich took advantage of target communities' collaborators, so there's also that.)

The problem with China invading Taiwan is that…everybody knows about it. Land invasions of this scale have always been cloaked in huge secrecy. But China has broadcast their intentions. My theory? It’s a cover story for military buildup that’s aimed at a different target. More in a video soon.

I live in a deep red and largely farming community in rural North Carolina, and this checks out. Some are personally kind, sure, and maybe they're smart in certain ways, but in general, yes, this is absolutely true of them.

I don't assume that he believes what he says. Ignorance often outweighs corruption in MAGA world, but its leaders are more often simply corrupt in my view. Sure, there are useful idiots, but MAGA leaders are more often the con artists, not the marks. Either way, though, I agree: He's unfit to lead.

Jimi Wilson @jimi45.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

This is the core of the "deep state" rhetoric, and we're about to see it play out on scale: Rather than root out corruption, it was always about ensuring obedience. This has always been understood by those pushing the narrative and those challenging it; it is MAGA supporters who have been clueless.
