IN 1942, THE THREAT WAS ALREADY THERE, because war profiteers and exploitive capitalism have always found common ground in division, hate, and cruelty.
Trump is just Hitler and Mussolini reconstituted.
A vast array of detention centers — far too many for immigration detainees — is already being built to incarcerate and “disappear” American protestors.
A massive army of nameless, faceless, masked thugs, accountable to no one, has already been recruited.
Extra-judicial killings have already started, both overseas and here at home.
Right-wing corporate overlords already own most of the news outlets, from radio to television, and from legacy newspapers to new online media.
Crony capitalism and billion dollar bribes now drive all political decisions from the invasions of Iran and Venezuela to the genocide in Gaza, from pardons of mass murderers and serial rapists to deregulation leading to massive frauds and the looting of public systems built over generations.
The real threat to America has always been from within, and its roots have always been apathy, greed, cowardice, and racism.
We were warned by our founders in 1776, and by Lincoln in 1863. We were warned in 1942 and we continue to be warned by everyone who thinks.
Something wicked this way walks.
